Exposed Aggregate Concrete
What is Exposed Aggregate?
Put simply, exposed aggregate, or exposed concrete, is a stylish and durable way to add quality to your home or commercial project.
Concrete is poured with an added aggregate, such as natural rock, slate, tile, rock salt and even seashell. Then instead of the concrete totally covering these aggregates it is then sanded back. The surface of these aggregates is exposed, bringing out the natural beauty.This finish is achieved by using various techniques such as water washing, abrasive blasting, concrete acid etching and honing. It’s a unique and very effective way to add a fresh look to your home.
As Exposed Aggregate Specialists, with such a wide range of fabulous finishes for your exposed aggregate finish, our team can give you a recommendation on aggregate size and proportions to get the best and most attractive finish.Both fine and coarse concrete aggregates come in a wide range of colours to suit the style and location of your concrete project. We’ll help you consider the grading, shape and surface of your concrete project, as these can affect the visual appearance of the end result.
Driveways, pool surrounds, paths, and alfrescos – they are all areas where looks and performance are crucial. For instance, tiles might look nice, but they are prone to cracking and grout discolouration over time. Pavers tend to subside and crack too. Timber decking around the pool and in the alfresco area might look good at the beginning, but its colour fades, needs lots of maintenance and sometimes even rots.
No matter whether your home is contemporary or traditional, exposed decorative concrete with its natural-stone look can fit in, and bring the outdoors in.
