Outside concrete

Can you tell me what the finish is on the concrete outside? Would it be slippery in the rain? Thanks

The concrete on the exterior has a light broom finish. This gives it a texture which keeps it from being slippery if it does get wet. The generous roof overhangs are sufficient to keep all but the outside edge of the walkway dry.

I really think we should focus on the doors. Great architectural drama in this opening. :-)
