Exposed Aggregate Sealing
What Is Exposed Aggregate?
Exposed aggregate is a decorative concrete finish that reveals natural stone, gravel, or pebbles on the surface—creating a textured, high‑contrast look for patios, driveways, walkways, and pool decks. Its slip‑resistant properties and visual appeal make it a popular choice for both residential and commercial outdoor spaces.
Why Seal Exposed Aggregate?
Even the toughest aggregate surfaces benefit from professional sealing:
UV & Weather Protection: Prevents sun‑bleaching and damage from rain, freeze‑thaw cycles, and seasonal temperature swings.
Stain Resistance: Guards against oil drips, rust, mold, and mildew, making cleanup faster and easier.
Enhanced Color & Shine: A quality sealer deepens natural stone hues and imparts a subtle sheen that highlights the aggregate.
Longevity: Reduces surface wear and erosion, adding years of life to your concrete investment.

2. Drying & Inspection
Allow concrete to dry completely (24–48 hours), then inspect for any imperfections
3. High‑Performance Sealer Application
Apply a premium, UV‑resistant acrylic or epoxy‑blend sealer using low‑pressure sprayers and back‑roll techniques for even coverage
4. Second Coat & Finishing Touches
Where needed, apply a second sealer coat for maximum durability and gloss retention
5. Final Quality Check
Inspect the treated area for uniform sheen, proper adhesion, and clean edges before opening to foot traffic
