Exposed
The decorative process of exposing aggregate has been around since the early 1900s, well before pattern stamping, stenciling, and decorative overlays became trendy. But this method is far from being ready for retirement. This finish emphasizes nature's true beauty...stone. Exposed combines beauty with practicality by cosmetically enhancing your home and landscaping all the while creating a low maintenance look that will appear brand new for years to come.
An exposed-aggregate finish offers numerous advantages. With an exposed-aggregate finish, you can achieve spectacular effects at a reasonable cost.
Here are some other notable advantages of exposed-aggregate finishes:
- The surface is rugged, nonskid, and resistant to heavy traffic and weather extremes.
- Many types and sizes of decorative aggregate are available to achieve unlimited color and texture variations.
- Exposed aggregate is highly versatile and contrasts beautifully with plain concrete or other decorative treatments such as stamping, stenciling, staining, and integral coloring.
- Little maintenance is required, other than sealing and occasional cleaning.
- Great for patios, driveways, pool decks, walkways, in bands or fields, and many other flatwork applications.

Broom
Traditional concrete finishes are broom and smooth. Broom finish concrete provides a durable, non-skid finish, commonly used for conventional outdoor concrete purposes. i.e.: concrete sidewalks, driveways and staircases etc.
Smooth/ Polished
Smooth finish concrete is typically used for indoor concrete floors. It allows for easy clean up and acts as a very durable smooth surface finish. ie: garage and basement floors etc. Smooth and polished concrete can come in an array of colours to suit any area you wish. Those customers wanting polished concrete can choose the level of sheen—from satin to high-gloss—that meets their maintenance and aesthetic requirements. Polishing can give concrete a higher degree of shine—similar to polished marble or granite—than can be achieved with a high-gloss coating. This makes polished concrete a particularly good alternative for homeowners that can’t afford marble or granite floors but want the same brilliant, mirror-like finish. |
