The true value of a concrete surface lies beneath its decorative style and the versatility that comes with its strength that goes beyond its designated durability. Exposed aggregate concrete does just that and more.
Exposed aggregate concrete has been around in the industry, and mostly in-fashion when it comes to deciding on surface finish choices. Basically, the appeal of exposed aggregate concrete is in its appearance. Fine smooth textured small stones and pebbles that become part of the concrete mix is part of the magical beauty of the exposed aggregate concrete finish.
The style factor is reminiscent of art deco in a lot of ways but today it equally evokes a certain level of visual interest by creating random patterns and a variety of colours in the application. Efficiently, it also creates attractive, low maintenance, and non-slip surface for the immediate area.
Here at Decorative Concrete, we offer limitless options that come with the practicality of using exposed aggregate finish on your pavements and floors. Essentially, because the procedure can be placed virtually anywhere when done by trusted professionals. The combinations for our exposed aggregate concrete finishes are unique with every pattern you choose and the best part is that it has all of the desired characteristics of regular concrete: durability, strength, and flexibility.
Decorative Concrete makes it possible to add textures and colours to the concrete mix with modern methods of application. We make your pavements and floors, lively murals of modern concrete art.

TIPS TO REMEMBER WHEN DECIDING ON YOUR DRIVEWAY
STONE COLOUR
For aesthetics, you have multiple stone mix options you can select from our Exposed aggregate brochure.
EXPOSURE LEVEL
We recommend that you generally go for a medium wash as it’s a good balance of both worlds in terms of look and feel.
Exceptions for a medium wash are along pool areas where a light wash will do best, while driveways can be better off with a heavy wash to provide better grip (just make sure to have a strong cement base to keep stones in place).
SEALER CHOICE
You can choose between a top coating or penetrating sealant. We do use a top coating acrylic sealant to enhance stone colours. Get in touch with us now to know more about available sealant options
