Exposed Aggregate Polished Concrete Floors

What Are Exposed Aggregate Polished Concrete Floors?

Can I Expose Aggregate In My Concrete Floors? — Yes, aggregates are combined into the concrete mix upon pouring the concrete slab. Exposed aggregate is generally 3mm underneath the concrete. The aggregate can be revealed by using a concrete grinder.

“Exposed aggregate” refers to the process of uncovering the aggregate, or the large stones or other material, that is mixed in with the concrete. Exposing it makes the surface more textured, and it creates a different look than the typical, flat, gray slab of most concrete surfaces. With exposed aggregate polished concrete, you can see aggregate, which is small rocks on the floor but is sealed and shiny.

Once happy with the level of stone coverage, especially with how the stones are spread out, you can proceed to grind the concrete to a point where it exposes the aggregates further if required. Once the desired level of finish has been attained, the floors are then polished to achieve a perfect finish.
