FAQ-EXPOSED AGGREGATE CONCRETE

WHaT WoulD CauSe SToneS To PoP ouT oF THe ConCreTe SurFaCe?This is caused by over-exposing. When installed by an experienced aggregate crew, this will rarely occur. Exposed aggregate actually holds up much better and lasts longer than other decorative concrete methods.

Can I GeT my aGGreGaTe In DIFFerenT ColorS?Yes. Choose from a large industry selection, which has a broad range of colors and hues…from Sandstone to Terracotta and everything in between, to match any décor.

IS exPoSeD aGGreGaTe ConCreTe SlIPPery WHen WeT?No. The texture on the concrete stops the surface from becoming slippery (unlike other concrete finishes), which makes it a perfect product for around the home or in public areas.

DoeS IT neeD SealInG?Sealing isn’t essential but is highly recommended. The sealer works as a stain repellent and also gives the concrete an appealing sheen.

WHaT IS GloW-CreTe™?Glow-crete™ is a new, modern, and extremely popular glow in the dark stone added to an exposed aggregate mix, creating a relaxing ambient glow throughout your home.

HoW lonG aFTer THe Pour WIll We Have To STay oFF THe exPoSeD aGGreGaTe ConCreTe?It can be walked on the next day, but we do recommend you stay off the concrete until we have finished the “clean and seal” component of the job.

WHaT IS THe maxImum SIze a Pre-CaST SlaB Can Be?Typically, we keep them to 7’ x 3’, as they have a tendency to become too heavy to work with. larger sizes can be achieved but seaming may be required. Please call us to discuss your project.

Can I PuT HoT PanS on THe CounTer?No. It’s best to use hot pads or a trivet to avoid scorching the sealer.

Can I CuT DIreCTly on THe CounTer?No. A cutting board should be used instead. Knife marks can mar the sealed surface and set up areas for stains to form.

HoW Do I maInTaIn THe FInISH?Regular maintenance will insure the long life of the concrete.

Do I Have a CHoICe oF FInISHeS?yes. We produce three different finishes. The first is an “upside down process” finish. The second is a “pressed” finish. The third is a “ground” finish. an “upside down process” is one color with many variations in the finish caused by the natural materials. a “pressed process” is a veined finish that may have one or more colors needed. a “ground finish” is achieved by grinding the concrete surface and exposing the aggregate.
