Reveal aggregates from concrete to enhance outdoor areas
Exposed aggregate concrete gives horizontal surfaces a warm, natural look. The various placement methods make it possible to modify the appearance and texture of the concrete. By varying the colours of aggregates and cement paste or by adjusting the etch depth of the surface retarder, it is possible to create subtle, durable and aesthetic renderings.
