Exposed Aggregate Floor

1. Definition and Uses of Exposed Aggregate Concrete

Exposed Aggregate Concrete, also known as Aggregate Concrete, is a specialized concrete that leaves the aggregates fully exposed on the surface. Its surface aggregates are partially or fully visible, creating a textured and colorful exterior layer. It is widely used in various construction projects, road and bridge construction, squares, gas stations, and airports, offering enhanced aesthetics, durability, and anti-slip properties.

Material Preparation

Firstly, organize the site, clear away debris and rubble, ensuring the construction area is clean. Next, prepare materials including cement, sand, aggregates, and various processing equipment.

2. Template Assembly

Formwork setup is crucial; it requires the preparation of templates according to design specifications, ensuring they are properly aligned, leveled, and secured to guarantee construction accuracy.

Pouring

During the concrete pouring process, it is crucial to control the water-cement ratio and master the pouring speed to ensure the uniformity and compactness of the concrete.

4. Maintenance

Based on weather conditions and the strength of the concrete, implement scientifically and reasonably designed curing measures.
