Benefits of Exposed Aggregate Concrete
Aggregate concrete is an extremely durable and lasting surface that can add beauty to any area around your home or landscape. Some of the key benefits include:
- Surfaces are durable, non-slip, and resistant to heavy traffic and adverse weather conditions
- Various types of aggregate can be used to produce a highly decorative finish which includes unique colors and textures
- Available in many styles, aggregate can blend with other concrete finishes around your home and garden
- Very low maintenance is required
The Importance of a Concrete Sealer
As a final step in our exposed aggregate concrete installation, we advise the use of a concrete sealer that will help to improve an already gorgeous appearance and increase the performance of the surface. These sealers help to protect against freeze-thaw damage, salts used for de-icing, stains, and heavy abrasion. A good sealer will ensure your concrete lasts you for years to come with minimal maintenance.
