Exposed Aggregate Sealing Edmonton
Bring the Stone Back to Life — and Help Keep It There
Exposed aggregate looks its best when the natural stone colour shows through. The right sealer can restore that depth while helping protect the surface around each stone.
The problem
Why Exposed Aggregate Goes Dull
Over time, sun, dirt and weathering leave aggregate looking grey and flat. The cement paste between stones is the vulnerable part: it absorbs water and salt, and through repeated freeze-thaw cycles it can wear down, which may leave stones less firmly held.
Sealing helps protect that paste and can bring out the stone colour. Because aggregate surfaces are textured, product choice and application technique matter — too heavy a coat can look cloudy or patchy.
Exposed aggregate sealing includes
- Thorough cleaning of the textured surface
- Check for previous sealer and compatibility
- Choice of deep-penetrating or film-forming sealer
- Wet-look / colour-enhancing options to bring out the stone
- Even application suited to aggregate texture
- Anti-slip additive included
