Why Pinnacle Cement's Proven The Best For Exposed Aggregate Installation Process
Our meticulous exposed aggregate installation process includes:
- Site Preparation: Getting the place ready completely by getting rid of any concrete or plants that are already there. Completely clearing the site of any existing concrete or vegetation is part of the site preparation process.
- Formwork and Reinforcement: The desired shape is defined by placing formwork, and the structure is reinforced with steel rebar to make it stronger and more sturdy.
- Concrete Pouring: When pouring concrete, we employ a premium mix designed for uses involving exposed aggregate and containing 4500 PSI of pressure.
- Finishing: This step makes the surface smooth so that the finish is level and even. The finishing process ensures a uniform and level surface by smoothing out any rough spots.
- Aggregate Exposure: To expose the aggregate, we first put down a surface retarder, wait for the concrete to partly cure, and then power wash the top layer.
- Sealing: Applying a protective sealer to make the visible rock look better and keep it from becoming discolored or worn down over time.
