What are exposed aggregate pavers?
Exposed aggregate pavers are sometimes called shot blast pavers, and they are essentially an aggregate paver that has had the top layer removed to expose the materials and textures. They not only look great but, are highly versatile and withstand the elements here in Perth with ease.
How are exposed aggregate pavers made?
Exposed aggregate pavers are a precast concrete paver made of a combination of cement, gravel, water, colour, and sand. This is put into a mould on a conveyor where the ingredients combine via vibration. It sets and then is removed from the mould. As mentioned, a thin top layer is removed to expose the materials in the aggregate.
Advantages to choosing exposed aggregate for your next paving project in Perth
There are several benefits to choosing exposed aggregate for your paving project here in Perth, here are some of the many:

Exposed aggregate offers great non-slip properties, and is an ideal choice for areas that you’ll be walking on barefoot or driving on such as a pool area or driveway. It makes your hardscaping areas safer and can prevent injury, especially when wet.
Can enhance function and appeal at your home
When your outdoor spaces are functional and look appealing, they can add value to your property. Installing exposed aggregate pavers is a great way to do this.
Can withstand extreme climates
Exposed aggregate is extremely resilient and withstands punishing temperatures and weather which makes them a suitable choice for Perth homes. They won’t deteriorate under the unforgiving sun, heavy downpours, or drastic temperature fluctuations.
Straightforward to look after
If you’re like most, you don’t want to be spending hours on end cleaning and maintaining your pavers. Exposed aggregate pavers are super simple to look after. Once installed, they only need a clean every so often and if you want them to last even longer, sealing them can extend their lifespan considerably. This only needs to be done every 2 years approximately.
They look beautiful
There is an exposed aggregate paver to suit every home. They come in a variety of colours and shapes, not to mention that they are one of those materials that never goes out of fashion and will look as beautiful 10-20 years down the track as they do today.
Why exposed aggregate pavers are a match made in heaven for hardscaping projects in Perth
With a warm climate and plenty of sunny days, Perth locals place great importance on their outdoor areas. When they are functional and inviting, you’ll likely want to spend a lot of time here. That’s why it’s vitally important that you choose the right materials to withstand the environment they are installed in and to ensure they last. Exposed aggregate offers the best of both worlds as they are highly functional, durable, and they are aesthetically appealing.

When deciding on a type of exposed aggregate paver, it’s a good idea to consider the rest of your outdoor space and what will work cohesively. With temperatures as hot as they get here in Perth, lighter coloured pavers are a better option as they don’t heat up as much as darker ones, this is especially true if they will be in full sun for a good part of the day. If you intend on using exposed aggregate pavers for a driveway, you’ll need to make sure they are thick enough to hold the weight of vehicles. Typically, a driveway should have a paver that is 60mm thick at the minimum.
