EXPOSED AGGREGATE CONCRETE DRIVEWAYS & FOOTPATHS

We currently use Boral, Premix, HiMix, Ideal Mix & Direct Mix to supply our exposed aggregate concrete. This is machine measured and mixed through at the concrete batching plant, ensuring consistent aggregate and colour through, as with, all concrete, it fades to.

The option to top seed with other aggregate is available, generally smoother river or ocean stones as too is clear sealing after curing.

The images below are purely illustrative and can not be seen as a true representation of what the colour and texture will be when laid.

Unlike traditional reinforcing methods, Sikas “Fibermesh®” which A1 Adelaide Concrete uses where practical, fibres are uniformly distributed throughout the concrete mix and specifically designed to prevent cracks. The poly fibres are an indispensable component of this modern concrete composition.

Fibermesh® concrete fibre blends are a combination of micro synthetic fibres. The resulting product renders the best possible solution to concrete’s natural flaws throughout its life span. Microfibers surpass at controlling cracks in the early stage, while fibres provide exceptional crack control in increased load-bearing conditions. With blended fibres, you get both benefits in one mix.

A1 Adelaide Concrete use Sika Fibremesh® when possible saving time in preparation and is hugely beneficial when pouring steep driveways, often removing the need for concrete pumps. A1 Adelaide Concrete like to use fibre reinforced concrete for new build homes. Having no traditional concrete to match, allows A1 Adelaide Concrete, to saw cut the control joints, as you would with exposed aggregate. With no tool joints or highlights, this method gives a contemporary, seamless appearance. Only with standard and cloured concrete jobs, do we will use fibres.

A1 Adelaide Concrete has used fibre reinforced concrete on multiple driveways though the foothills of Adelaide and have produced outstanding results.
