Whats your favourite levels of Stone Exposure?
Every concrete mix has aggregate (stones) as a component – the colour, density, size and distribution of these stones will depend on where the concrete came from, if it was specially ordered and how well it was poured and installed for polished concrete.
Zero Exposure
This is the level which is hard to achieve but InsideOut professional team can do it for you if you follow the steps carefully as it need to be supervise from the beginning of the concrete mixture. Zero exposure means the after the grinding process the level of stone exposure is least that the no stone showing through the concrete surface.
To achieve this concrete mixture must be perfectly installed therefore we recommend to have experienced installer who can guarantee their work.
Minimal Exposure
This is the cost effective method as minimal exposure means that the level of exposure is neither zero no full level. At this process, grinding a small amount of the surface where stone can be seen at a very low level. To achieve this exposure only 1-3mm level of surface will be grinded. However grouting can be use used to fill gaps and small cracks which is an advantage of this method.
Full Exposure
Full exposure means the high visibility of aggregates. This can be achieved by grinding the surface up to 5mm. it needs to grind the surface may be couple of times so the labour charges may high and bit of expensive than the minimal exposure procedure. These are commonly used in residential places and retail and other showroom outlets as it is visually appealing and high decorative.
