FAQ-EXPOSED AGGREGATE CONCRETE
WHaT WoulD CauSe SToneS To PoP ouT oF THe ConCreTe SurFaCe?
This is caused by over-exposing. When installed by an experienced aggregate crew, this
will rarely occur. Exposed aggregate actually holds up much better and lasts longer than
other decorative concrete methods.
Can I GeT my aGGreGaTe In DIFFerenT ColorS?
Yes. Choose from a large industry selection, which has a broad range of colors and hues…
from Sandstone to Terracotta and everything in between, to match any décor.
IS exPoSeD aGGreGaTe ConCreTe SlIPPery WHen WeT?
No. The texture on the concrete stops the surface from becoming slippery (unlike other
concrete finishes), which makes it a perfect product for around the home or in public
areas.
DoeS IT neeD SealInG?
Sealing isn’t essential but is highly recommended. The sealer works as a stain repellent
and also gives the concrete an appealing sheen.
WHaT IS GloW-CreTe™?
Glow-crete™ is a new, modern, and extremely popular glow in the dark stone added to an
exposed aggregate mix, creating a relaxing ambient glow throughout your home.

concrete. It can be patched or left visible, thus adding character to the look of the concrete.

The concrete must be sealed, making it water and stain resistant. It is best to clean up spills as
soon as possible, especially oils and acidic liquids.
DoeS THe Color ever vary?
Yes. Since our product is hand made, color and texture may vary. This is part of the uniqueness
of concrete.
WHaT IS THe maxImum SIze a Pre-CaST SlaB Can Be?
Typically, we keep them to 7’ x 3’, as they have a tendency to become too heavy to work with.
larger sizes can be achieved but seaming may be required. Please call us to discuss your
project.
Can I PuT HoT PanS on THe CounTer?
No. It’s best to use hot pads or a trivet to avoid scorching the sealer.

No. A cutting board should be used instead. Knife marks can mar the sealed surface and set up
areas for stains to form.

CONCRETE TOPS 20
HoW Do I maInTaIn THe FInISH?
Regular maintenance will insure the long life of the concrete.
Do I Have a CHoICe oF FInISHeS?
yes. We produce three different finishes. The first is an “upside down process” finish. The
second is a “pressed” finish. The third is a “ground” finish. an “upside down process” is one
color with many variations in the finish caused by the natural materials. a “pressed process”
is a veined finish that may have one or more colors needed. a “ground finish” is achieved by
grinding the concrete surface and exposing the aggregate.
