Exposed aggregate, micro exposed, acid-etched, sandblast finish... - how do they differ?
Welcome to HEBAU's comprehensive guide on concrete surface finishes. As industry leaders, we provide expert insights into various techniques to achieve desired textures and aesthetics for your concrete projects.
Exposed Aggregate Finish:
This technique involves removing the outer layer of concrete to reveal the embedded aggregate. The depth of exposure can vary, offering a range of textures and appearances.
Micro Exposed Concrete
Achieved by exposing a shallow layer of aggregate, this finish provides a subtle texture, ideal for decorative applications.
Acid-Etched Finish
Utilizing acid to etch the concrete surface, this method creates a smooth, matte finish with a uniform texture. It's commonly used for architectural applications requiring a refined appearance.
Sandblast Finish
This technique involves blasting the concrete surface with sand to achieve a textured, non-slip finish. It's suitable for both aesthetic and functional applications.
