What is Exposed Aggregate Concrete?
Exposed aggregate is a decorative concrete finish where the top layer of cement paste is removed to expose the underlying stones and pebbles, creating a textured and visually striking surface. It’s not just about aesthetics-it provides:
- Slip-resistance (perfect for sloped driveways and poolside areas)
- High durability and load-bearing strength
- Low maintenance
- Long lifespan
You can choose from various stone colors, aggregate sizes, and combinations-allowing you to fully customise the look to match your home’s facade and landscaping.
