How is exposed aggregate created, and which materials are used
Preparation of the base – The first step involves preparing the area which is to be paved. This requires the removal of any vegetation and the creation of a level surface with good drainage.
Laying down concrete – Once the base is prepared, a layer of concrete needs to be laid down and left to set. This can be done manually or by using a machine.
Adding an aggregate – The next step involves adding a layer of loose aggregate onto the concrete. This can be done by hand or with a spreader, depending on the size and intricacy of the pattern desired.
The finishing touches – Lastly, the exposed aggregate is sealed with a sealant to protect it from staining, and the pattern is highlighted with a coloured dye.
The different finishes that can be achieved with exposed aggregate
Depending on the project requirements, exposed aggregate can be designed and finished in many different ways. Some of the most common finishes include:
• Polished aggregate – A smooth finish with a glossy shine
• Stained aggregate – An antiqued effect created by staining the aggregate with a dye
• Tumbled aggregate – An aged look achieved by tumbling the aggregate
• Coloured aggregate – Coloured aggregates can be used to create a unique pattern or effect
• Sealed aggregate – Sealing the exposed aggregate helps protect it from staining and wear.
How to care for an exposed aggregate driveway or patio surface
Surfaces with exposed aggregate need minimal care and maintenance to keep them looking their best. Here are a few tips:
• Clean up spills as soon as possible – Oil, grease, and other liquids can stain the surface if left unattended.
• Sweep regularly – Use a broom or leaf blower to remove leaves and other debris from the surface.
• Seal occasionally – Sealing your exposed aggregate driveway or patio every few years helps protect it from wear and staining and keeps the attractive colour of the stones intact.
• Rinse with a hose – Periodically rinse down your exposed aggregate surface with clean water to remove dirt, pollen, and other debris.
