As the name suggest, polished concrete is just that! concrete that has been ground and polished to create a smooth and glossy finish. Polished concrete is a popular option for its versatility. You choose your colours and patterns and desired level of shine. It’s a hard wearing flooring, resistant to scratches and stains and easy to maintain.

To achieve the sheen, the concrete is chemically treated to make it more dense, removing stains and filling the pores which helps to achieve a better foundation for smoothing and shine. This process also makes the concrete less permeable to liquids which will make the final flooring more durable. The final step includes a fine grinding tool which controls the level of shine.
Yes, Perth Exposed Aggregate use reinforcing mesh to limit shrinkage cracking and maintain the structural integrity of your concrete.
Control cuts are made in your concrete at the best locations determined by us to help control cracking.
A layer of expansion foam is placed next to brickwork or other structures to separate them from the concrete. We do this to minimize the potential for the concrete to crack which can happen due to changes in temperature or general weather conditions.
It is possible for your concrete to crack which is why Perth Exposed Aggregate take every measure we can to prevent cracking, from the use of expansion foam to controlled cuts. Often there are factors that cause cracking that cannot be controlled by us, such as weather, the subsoil, the particular site and infrastructure conditions. As with any other company in the industry, sadly we cannot guarantee that cracking won’t happen.
Yes, we seal all of our concrete. Once set, the concrete is acid washed and high pressure cleaned to enhance it’s appearance. We then use a solvent-based acrylic sealer which protects and seals the concrete’s natural beauty.
Our concrete is made from quarried sand and stone. Because of this, natural variations will show in colour and texture of the product.
To obtain optimum strength and to allow the aggregate time to dry and cure, we recommend waiting 1 day before walking on it and up to 7 days before driving on your new driveway.
