DescriptionA highly decorative choice that never goes out of style, exposed aggregate concrete is used to pave everything from driveways and footpaths through to patios and swimming pool areas. The surface concrete is composed of small pieces of sand, gravel and stone that are known as ‘aggregates’. To achieve a smooth concrete finish, these pieces would normally be left hidden.
However, with an exposed aggregate concrete surface such as exposed aggregate driveways in Melbourne, the aggregates are intentionally left exposed to produce a unique finish. The finish exposes the smooth textured small stones and pebbles that are part of the concrete. This is achieved by removing the outer layer of cement paste to uncover the coarse aggregate.
Not only does this create a visually striking surface that boasts a wealth of aesthetic appeal, but it also comes with a variety of additional benefits. Residential and commercial properties can greatly benefit from an aggregate concrete driveway and other aggregate concrete features. Potential benefits include increasing aesthetic appeal and practical value, among other advantages described below.
