Exposed Aggregate Concrete is perfect for Driveways, Patios, Porch, Walkways, and Pool-Decks.
An Exposed Aggregate Surface is created by using an acid wash to the surface of a Concrete slab to eat away the cement film at the surface and expose the faces of decorative pebbles that were used in the Concrete batch.
The pebbles are usually very dense and are now surrounded by relatively porous.Exposed Aggregate has great benefits such as being easy to keep clean, not showing the wear and tear of Finished Concrete, and giving you a distinct look.
Exposed Aggregate Concrete is an extremely porous type of Concrete, so if left unsealed, water and moisture will penetrate the Concrete and cause it to crack.
One crack will soon lead to another, and another.
Unsealed Aggregate Concrete will also begin to lose the stones that define it.
