Exposed aggregate is made by removing the top layer of a block of concrete to expose the sand, gravel, quartzite or crushed glass underneath. The unique texture of these exposed materials creates a stunning and multi-layered effect that is not only beautiful to look at but practical too.
The textured surface of exposed aggregate can add additional traction to any surface, making it slip-resistant and safer to walk on than polished concrete. Exposed aggregate is also incredibly long-lasting and durable due to its low concrete to water ratio, making it less susceptible to damage. It is cost-effective, easy to install and environmentally friendly too, as it can be repurposed and made of recycled materials.
Exposed aggregate is readily available in a wide selection of textures and colours. You’ll have almost unlimited choices when it comes to selecting a style to complement your home. Slip resistant, durable and easy-to-maintain, there are numerous advantages to laying exposed aggregate.
