The decorative process of exposing aggregate has been around since the early 1900s. But this method is far from being ready for retirement. An exposed aggregate finish offers numerous advantages. And many of today’s contractors are finding creative ways to take exposed aggregate to a new level. An exposed aggregate surface is obtained by placing concrete and then removing 1mm to 6mm of the concrete surface to uncover decorative aggregates . Because of its durability and skid resistance, an exposed aggregate finish is ideal for most businesses / homes
Exposed Aggregate is a decorative concrete which is achieved by carefully selecting a Colourmix colour and a decorative Aggregate, then chemically retarding the concrete surface and finally removing the top 1-4mm of cement matrix by a washing process. There are two types of Exposed Aggregate, the first is using the aggregate that is already in the body of the concrete. The second is achieved by seeding aggregates to the surface of the concrete, then working that aggregate into the surface.
