Salt & Pepper

1 to 2mm is ground from the surface of the concrete to expose patches of aggregate. The locations where aggregate exposure occurs is dictated by how the concrete was placed and finished as the aggregate is naturally moved around the floor and ends up at differing levels within the slab. Flatness of the floor is most important to the finished product so we can not grind down localised areas to try to achieve more aggregate exposure. In specifying a salt & pepper finish, you can request a lighter or heavier version but the location of the aggregate is out of our control. Straight lines or unusual shapes of aggregate exposure are caused by inconsistencies in the placement of the concrete.
