Exposed Aggregate Systems
Bomanite Exposed
Aggregate Systems bring the vintage
decorative concrete option back into
the forefront of the industry with
innovative systems, longer-lasting
products, and a variety of mix
designs that combine the durability
you need with the beauty you desire.
Exposed aggregate finishes have been
around since anyone can remember;
the practical design option that was
never too flashy, sometimes uneven
and always lost its appeal as the
embedded aggregates
“popped
out” of the finish over time. But
that was then.
Today, with new technology and
inventive products, novel exposed
aggregate finishing options have
emerged from Bomanite Corporation to
breathe new life into the aged
decorative concrete technique. With
a variety of modernized mixes and an
unlimited palette of colors,
textures and aggregate options to
choose from, Bomanite Exposed
Aggregate Systems offer two
cost-effective solutions that are
more durable than ever and reveal
just how brilliant concrete can be.
Aggretex® by
Bomanite is another exposed
aggregate finishing option from our
collection. A patented system that
utilizes a proprietary mixture of
powders to which decorative aggregates
are added, Aggretex® by Bomanite creates
an aggregate-containing cementitious
layer that permanently secures the
decorative aggregates there-in, with a
portion of the aggregate exposed. The
resulting finish has a load bearing
capacity of slab on grade concrete with
a hardened wear layer comparable in
durability to stone or terrazzo.
Available in a multitude of colors with
exposed fine stone, glass or other
exotic aggregate blends, the design
options are endless. This durable,
single pour system allows for
installation in highly decorative areas
such as where marble or granite would be
utilized. However, unlike natural stone
or manufactured unit paving that
requires a base slab to provide its load
bearing capacity and resistance to
settling or heaving, Aggretex® by
Bomanite meets and exceeds these
requirements in one application. With
the aggregate mixed into the Aggretex®
prior to pouring, a more even,
consistent finish will result and
increase the lifespan of the decorative
surface.
Sandscape Texture™ by Bomanite,
the other exposed aggregate system in
the Bomanite arsenal, is designed for
outdoor applications where an alternate
to a conventional concrete finish is
required. Utilizing specialized mix
designs, additives, topical treatments
and advanced application procedures,
Sandscape Texture™ by Bomanite resembles
sand blasted concrete and can
incorporate specialized colored sands
and/or aggregates exceeding 3/8”
diameter. The finish is an economical
alternate to other decorative concrete
finishes while producing a monolithic
concrete slab at low life-cycle cost due
to the pre-aged nature of the surface.
Used in combination with a variety of
color and staining options, Sandscape
Texture™ by Bomanite creates consistent
texture and durable hardscapes ideal for
plazas, walkways, shopping centers,
schools and more.
