When driving around neighborhoods or browsing home design magazines, you might’ve come across homes showcasing a distinct, textured concrete finish on their driveways, pathways, and patios. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering what this is or considering it for your own property, you’re in the right place.
What is Exposed Aggregate?
The finish you’ve noticed is called exposed aggregate. It’s a decorative style of concrete wherein the top layer is removed to reveal the aggregate underneath, which can be stones, pebbles, or even colorful glass pieces. This process creates a visually appealing, naturally textured surface, making each installation unique.
Why Choose Exposed Aggregate for Your Property?
There are several reasons homeowners and businesses alike are opting for this type of finish:
- Aesthetic Appeal: The myriad of colors and textures available in aggregates means you can customize the look to fit your home’s design or your personal aesthetic.
- Durability: Exposed aggregate is not just about the looks; it’s known for its long-lasting nature. Properly installed and sealed exposed aggregate can withstand heavy traffic, weather extremes, and time, requiring minimal maintenance.
- Safety: Thanks to its textured surface, exposed aggregate offers a natural non-slip surface, making it an ideal choice for pool areas, walkways, and driveways.
- Value Addition: Adding exposed aggregate surfaces can enhance the visual appeal and functionality of your property, potentially increasing its value.
In essence, exposed aggregate provides a harmonious blend of function and style, making it a favored choice for modern outdoor spaces.
