Information About Different Finishes

Exposed Aggregate Finish

Many of our products are available in exposed aggregate.  This means that rather than a smooth plain concrete surface, you will see the aggregate, or stones, that makeup the actual concrete.  We use small, rounded stones in our concrete which looks better and is more comfortable to sit on than larger jagged stones.  Much to most people's surprise it similiar to sitting on beaded car seat covers.

Exposed aggregate is a fairly common finish in the precast concrete industry.  It is both very durable and eye pleasing.

Basic Grey Finish

A basic grey  finish is ordinary concrete that is natural grey.  Concrete is not uniform in colour and you will see subtle variations or 'mottling'  or 'streaking'.  Also, concrete is a porous material and you should not be surprised to see tiny 'bugholes' on many smooth surfaces.

Polished Grey or Polished Colored Finish

A polished grey or polished colored finish is where the surface of natural grey or coloured concrete is ground and polished to expose the sand and stones in the actual concrete mix..  A polished finish gives a unique look to the surface that is durable and eye-pleasing.
