Create a Wonderful Outdoor Space With Exposed Aggregate in Bendigo

What is exposed aggregate?

Exposed aggregate is a type of concrete that is decorative and highly durable. The process begins with laying down a base layer of concrete mixed with stone or quartz aggregate. Once the concrete is poured, it is left to harden slightly before a chemical retarder is applied to the surface. After the surface is treated, the concrete is pressure washed to reveal the aggregate's beautiful and varied colours and textures.

Exposed aggregate comes in various colours and finishes, making it a flexible and eye-catching option used in outdoor spaces such as driveways, patios, pool decks, and pathways.

Benefits of exposed aggregate

• Versatile: As mentioned earlier, exposed aggregate comes in various colours and finishes. It can be customized to suit your specific design needs and preferences.
• Highly durable: Because it's made with stone or quartz aggregate, exposed aggregate is highly resistant to heavy traffic, hot and cold temperatures, and general wear and tear.
• Low maintenance: Unlike other outdoor flooring options, such as wood or pavers, exposed aggregate requires little maintenance. With proper cleaning, it can last for years.
• Slip-resistant: The texture of exposed aggregate makes it less slippery than other outdoor flooring options, making it a great choice for pool decks and outdoor stairways.
  
• Aesthetically pleasing: The varied colours and textures of exposed aggregate make it an attractive option that adds value and style to any outdoor space.
