Why Choose Exposed Aggregate Concrete Floors in Cairns?

In the beautiful backdrop of Cairns, where the Daintree Rainforest meets the Coral Sea, residents have plenty of choices for their concreting needs. Among the vast spectrum of colours, textures, and finishes available, there's one standout option that locals from Trinity Beach to Palm Cove are turning to: exposed aggregate.


Imagine the charm of a driveway that resembles the pebbled beaches of Cairns, or a patio that's as durable as the century-old retaining walls near the Cairns Historic Society Museum. That's the allure of exposed aggregate. Beyond its visual appeal, which mimics the natural pebbly appearance, it's renowned for its long-lasting properties.


Why Choose Exposed Aggregate in Cairns?


  1. Durability: With Cairns' tropical climate and occasional torrential rains, outdoor spaces need to be tough. Exposed aggregate, known for not fading or staining quickly, holds its own even in high traffic areas—be it cars or footfalls.
  2. Cost-Effective: Remember the newly renovated walkways near the Cairns Botanic Gardens? Exposed aggregate was the top choice for its affordability, especially for extensive areas like driveways and pool surrounds. Despite its cost-friendliness, it doesn't compromise on style.
  3. Aesthetic Appeal: The rustic look of exposed aggregate seamlessly blends with Cairns' natural beauty. Its unique texture and finish resonate with many locals who prefer a more organic look for their homes.


Considering recent soil erosion concerns in certain Cairns neighborhoods, exposed aggregate also offers better grip, making it a safer choice for sloped driveways and areas prone to flooding.


So, for those Cairns residents looking to combine durability, cost-efficiency, and a touch of nature-inspired elegance, exposed aggregate stands out as a brilliant choice. Let us be your trusted partner in bringing this vision to life. Choose us for your concreting projects in Cairns!


What Is The Process For Installing Exposed Aggregate?

Nestled in the heart of tropical Cairns, from the bustling Esplanade to the serene streets of Edge Hill, one trend is making waves in home design: exposed aggregate concrete. We are the local experts you can trust to bring this vision to life.


Our Step-by-Step Process:

  1. Preparation: Like preparing the ground for the annual Cairns Festival, we begin by thoroughly cleaning the area. Then, a sealer is applied, ensuring a strong foundation for what's next.
  2. Application: Once the sealant sets—often as the sun sets over the Coral Sea—we start the magic. The concrete is poured in manageable portions, and then, we introduce the aggregate. Using tools, akin to artists in the Cairns Art Gallery, we meticulously place each stone or gravel, ensuring they're anchored well.
  3. Finishing Touch: After letting the concrete naturally dry to perfection, possibly to the rhythmic tunes of Cairns' local bands, a final sealant is applied. This protective layer shields against both the unpredictable tropical rains and any accidental spills from those backyard BBQ parties.

What is the process for installing exposed aggregate?

Installing exposed aggregate concrete is a an excellent choice and one that our experienced team can help you with.


Our first step is to prepare the surface by removing any dirt or debris and then laying down a layer of sealant. Once the sealant has dried, we can start adding the exposed aggregate.


The best way to do this is to pour the concrete in small sections and then add the stones or gravel. We are sure to press them into the concrete firmly so that they won't move around once the concrete sets. We use trowels and shovels to help spread the aggregate and make sure it's evenly distributed.


Once the concrete has set, we then apply a coat of sealant to protect it from weathering and staining. We make sure to watch everything closely and we allow enough time for the sealant to dry before using the surface.


If you're looking for a durable, affordable, and stylish finish for your driveway or patio, Cairns residents should consider using exposed aggregate concrete. Contact CC Concrete Cairns today for more information or to receive a free quote!


Should I Use Exposed Aggregate For My Concrete Driveway in Cairns?

Exposed aggregate is a great option for driveways in Cairns for several reasons, including but not limited to:


  • Exposed aggregate is an economical and attractive surface that can endure the rigours of vehicular and pedestrian activity.


  • It can withstand the elements, including wind and rain, with no problems. Also, with care, it may endure for quite some time.


  • The cost of exposed aggregate concrete is also comparatively lower than concrete slabs. This means if you are building a new concrete driveway, aggregate will offer better value and all without the premium associated with other high-quality products. 


CHOOSE OUR CONCRETING SERVICES

Exposed aggregate driveways are difficult to build without the help of experts. That's because concreting needs to be done right, based on how it is applied.


Our professionals need to follow a couple of critical procedures for the best possible outcome and durability of the driveway.


Surface preparation - During the initial stage, we need to work on levelling the ground and cleansing it of any debris before construction can begin.


Asphalt bonding - The next step is to use a coating of asphalt bonding agent applied to the surface to improve concrete adhesion. After this is completed, the concrete may be poured and finished. Our concreting services use the highest quality materials to ensure that the end product lasts for the longest time possible.
