Exposed aggregate concrete surfaces

exposed aggregate concrete surface

Would you like to create your own exposed aggregate concrete surface?

With HEBAU GmbH CSE ® Deactivators, you can achieve professional results with varying depths of exposure and colours, whether for architectural, decorative, or functional concrete applications.

This video shows you how different exposed aggregate concrete surfaces can look like.

All the surfaces shown in this video are produced with a concrete surface deactivator from the HEBAU CSE® range. The exposure depth varies depending on the aggregates and the type of product used. The different colours, i.e. concrete mixtures give the finished exposed aggregate concrete surface its individual look.

 

 

Exposed aggregate concrete surfaces offer a unique aesthetic for architectural and decorative concrete applications. Using HEBAU GmbH CSE® Deactivators, you can control the exposure depth, highlight aggregates, and achieve vibrant colours, resulting in durable and visually appealing surfaces.

HEBAU provides a wide selection of CSE® Deactivators tailored to different requirements:

  • CSE® pro – solvent-based, suitable for negative and positive applications
  • CSE® nova – water-based, suitable for negative and positive applications
  • CSE® solotop – water-based, only for positive applications
  • CSE® multitop – water-based, only for positive application with incorporated curing membrane and rain protection function

The type of concrete mix, aggregate choice, and the selected CSE® deactivator determine the final decorative concrete surface, making every project unique. Our video demonstrates the wide variety of effects achievable, from subtle micro-exposed finishes to deep aggregate highlights.
