In our 30 years, we have witnessed many different style trends sweeping through Adelaide, but one that remains lastingly popular and effortlessly sophisticated is exposed aggregate concrete. We produce this result by allowing the base foundation to set and then spraying away the top layer to leave only the distinctive concrete textures behind.
This method of laying concrete delivers a multitude of style opportunities for your property without compromising durability or functionality. From large scale driveways to smoothly polished flooring and aggregate concrete, Adelaide City Concreting do it all.
What are the types of exposed aggregate?
One of the main reasons exposed aggregate is such a fantastic choice for your home is the amount of control you have over how the finished product will look. When employing the concreting experts of Adelaide for your exposed aggregate job, you can be sure there’s a finish that you and your home will love.
Different techniques for mixing various aggregates in the concrete produce different result, some of which can be quite tricky. At Adelaide City Concreting, our team has decades of combined industry experience and the skills to lay all types of exposed aggregate successfully.
Standard
To achieve this finish, we mix the aggregates into the cement before spreading it out. It can be difficult for amateur concreters because the optimum balance of aggregate and concrete is sometimes hard to determine, which could compromise its durability.
Topping
This method requires a large, dry cement base first and once set a thin layer of aggregate concrete is applied on top. The installer can manipulate this top layer more efficiently and provides more control.
Seeded
If you are someone who has an intricate and particular look in mind then seeded aggregate concreting is the perfect fit for your Adelaide home. In this method, the aggregates are carefully placed into the surface while it’s still wet. For a distinct design pattern, this method is ideal despite the intense labour required.
Polished
The most popular choice for indoor areas is polished aggregate. This method never fails to add a touch of class to an ample open space. After concreting the area, it is sanded down and a clear coat, either shiny or matte, is applied.
Cost
Adelaide City Concreting dedicates itself to bringing its customers prices that are highly competitive in all facets of exposed aggregate. We will work with you to discuss which option is best suited for your home both in functionality and in price.
