What are the Benefits of Exposed Aggregate Concrete?

1

Safety

Exposed aggregate can make your footpath or driveway a bit safer. When you use rougher exposed aggregate it can reduce the chances of you slipping and falling when it is raining. Also, exposed aggregate is able to withstand heavy traffic.

Also, it is resistant to skids due to its pebble textured surface which provides it with some added grip. It works very well for pools and outdoor entertainment and kitchen areas, notes the team from Richmond Kitchens. They add “since the concrete around a pool or food preparation area will get wet, it is less likely for slips and falls to occur when exposed aggregate is used. If your driveway is sloped you should consider using exposed aggregate to help lower the chance of accidents occurring. This choice is also popular in kitchens with more and more families opting for this style.”
