Salt And Pepper Finish
Concrete Reflections offers a salt and pepper finish to our commercial and industrial clients. This finish, also known as a minimal aggregate concrete finish, offers light grinding resulting in a small amount of aggregate exposed and “peppered” throughout the floor.
To achieve a salt and pepper finish, the concrete floor is cleaned and lightly ground to a depth of about 1/16 inch creating some exposure of the smallest aggregate in the concrete mix. This finish is often used to achieve an aged look.
Benefits of Salt And Pepper Finish Concrete
This finish is popular in commercial and industrial applications as well as residential renovations. A salt and pepper finish does come with its downsides including slightly greater expense and longer installation than a cream finish.
- More durable than cream finish
- Used in new pours or renovations
- Can increase consistency on slabs with low-quality pours
- Able to receive high-gloss polishing
- Slightly more durable than cream polished concrete
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
