How exposed aggregate is created and its applications
Exposed aggregate is created by adding a layer of aggregate to the surface of the concrete.
The aggregate is usually a course material such as gravel or sand. The layer of aggregate is then compacted and left to cure.
Once the concrete has cured, the excess aggregate is removed to leave the desired aggregate exposed.
The most popular applications for exposed aggregate are driveways, patios, and walkways. It is also commonly used around pools and on pool decks. Exposed aggregate can also create a unique look on countertops and other surfaces.
Care and maintenance required for exposed aggregate surface
Keeping your exposed aggregate looking its best is not difficult but requires regular maintenance.
Power washing can damage the concrete and remove the top layer of aggregate. Instead, clean your surface with a broom or garden hose.
If you need to remove stubborn stains, use a mild cleaner and scrub brush. Be sure to rinse the surface thoroughly after cleaning.
Other maintenance practices include sealing your exposed aggregate every one to two years and repairing any cracks or chips as soon as they occur.
Following these simple tips, you can enjoy your beautiful exposed aggregate surface for many years.
How to fix common problems with exposed aggregate surfaces
1. Stains – as mentioned before, a mild cleaner and scrub brush should do the trick.
2. Rusting – if you have exposed aggregate that contains metal, it may rust over time. This can be prevented by sealing the surface regularly. If rust does occur, you can remove it with a rust remover or wire brush.
3. Cracks – small cracks can be filled with a concrete repair product, while larger cracks may require a professional.
4. Discolouration – if your exposed aggregate surface is starting to look dull, you can clean it with a power washer or pressure washer. You can also use a concrete cleaner and scrub brush to remove dirt or grime.
