Concrete Reflections offers the luxury look of a large aggregate concrete finish. This finish is one of the most highly sought after, requiring greater time and expense, but with the most durable and beautiful results.

 

Large Aggregate Finish

A large aggregate concrete finish is cleaned and heavily ground to a ¼ inch depth. This grinding process exposes the large aggregate in the concrete resulting in an interesting, almost terrazzo-like appearance. This exposed aggregate concrete finish is highly sought after in luxury commercial and residential builds. It is classified as a Class D aggregate exposure designation.
 

Benefits:

• Used in new pours or renovations
• Highly durable
• Most desirable appearance
• Well suited for high-gloss polishing Because of the depth of grinding, large aggregate concrete finish is the most expensive and has the longest installation time. On floors where restoration of concrete is underway, there may be limitations to how deeply the floor can be cut.
 

How can builders prepare for a cream finish concrete?

Often concrete contractors will be asked to seed custom aggregate into the floor. This allows the client to ensure the exposed large aggregate is to their liking.
 

Concrete Finish Options

Concrete is a combination of cement and aggregate materials. Aggregates are typically harder than cement to improve wear, and the job location determines the type used varying from granite to limestone. The Concrete Polishing Council classifies aggregate exposure from A to D, and the amount of exposed aggregate increases as letters change.
Possible Concrete finishes include: • Class A: Cream Finish
• Class B: Salt and Pepper Finish
• Class C: Medium Aggregate
• Class D: Large Aggregate
