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 three
cost-effective solutions that are more
durable than ever and reveal just how
brilliant concrete can be.
LifeTime
Floors Revealed™ by Bomanite is a
sustainable finishing option that
incorporates a unique aggregate and
color blending process with the
traditional technology of exposing
aggregates. A pre-bagged mixture of
specialty/exotic aggregates along with
color and binders that are mixed with
water in the field, LifeTime Floors
Revealed™ is placed over freshly poured
concrete and then the surface is exposed
to reveal the aggregates. Designed for
outdoor applications in public areas,
this topping installation is engineered
for monolithic pours with high-strength
performance. The pronounced decorative
aggregate finish is a resilient,
sustainable option where
low-maintenance, slip resistance and a
highly decorative concrete surface is
desired.
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 third
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.
