How Will Exposed Aggregate Concrete Benefit My Home?
If you are in the market for a new driveway, patio or pool surrounding for your Adelaide home, then you can’t pass up exposed aggregate concrete. For whatever your purpose, exposed aggregate concrete has countless benefits for you and your home.
At Adelaide City Concreting, we are the experts in exposed aggregate concrete and want to help you better understand how it can best be used to improve your residence. So without further ado, here are some commonly asked questions regarding exposed aggregate concrete.
What is Exposed Aggregate?
Most people know what conventional concrete is and have had at least some experience tirelessly mixing it to cover only a small area. Exposed aggregate concrete is a type of decorative concrete where the mason forgoes the application of the final layer of cement. The result shows the textured undertones of the concrete, as opposed to the more common flat top finish.
There are many types of exposed aggregate concrete due to the amount of control you have in deciding exactly how you would like the finish to look. Whether you want a rough finish for extra traction or a more polished, mosaic look then exposed aggregate is the choice for your Adelaide property.
Why Use Exposed Aggregate?
If you desire to improve the look, functionality and value of your home then exposed aggregate is the material that does all three. It is undeniably one of the best surfacing materials for outdoors, and the following points will demonstrate its immense worth.
A huge plus is the added traction that exposed aggregate concrete provides. It’s perfect for sloped driveways, pool surroundings or areas prone to heavy rainfall. The added texture makes it non-slippery and is excellent if you have kids.
Another positive is the impressive durability that you get from this type of finish. Because there is no top layer of cement, this surface is much stronger and less prone to damage and chips.
You would think that due to the superior look of exposed aggregate concrete that it would be expensive but it’s extraordinarily cost-effective. Give the friendly team at Adelaide City Concreting a call today on 0439 543 125 to get a free quote!
