Question 1

Why do I need to have my aggregate concrete sealed?

Accepted Answer

This concrete has an open pore design and a larger surface area so the surface is more vulnerable to damage from water and contaminants.

Question 2

How do I know if it needs re-sealing?

Accepted Answer

Generally speaking, aggregate driveways need to be re-sealed once every two years. Commercial premises may be re-sealed more often.

Question 3

What does exposed concrete mean?

Accepted Answer

After the concrete has been placed, a surface retarder is then applied to delay the top layer of cement from setting.

Do we need soak wells?

What is involved in Polishing Concrete?

Polishing concrete involves grinding concrete that has been treated with a chemical densifier that removes blemishes, and increases density.
