Aggregates for all Precast Concrete Projects

Our highly experienced team provides support to clients, architects and engineers in the specification and design of all manner of precast concrete aggregates.

Our aggregates aid the creation of:

  • Coloured Concrete
  • Exposed Aggregate Concrete
  • Stamped Concrete

We also provide colour-matching services for aggregates used in precast concrete. We can work with a photograph, sample or project brief and provide an aggregate to match specific requirements. Our technical team can advise and also undertake site visits if necessary.

 

Pre-Cast Concrete Applications

We supply aggregates to support the making of pre-cast concrete for various different projects and applications. These can be split into 3 main areas:

Building Products

  • Floor and roofing elements
  • Facade and walls
  • Exposed Panels – Rich, naturally coloured stones such as basalt, granite, quartz or limestone are popular choices for exposed panels. Aggregates that contain substances which might stain the concrete should be avoided e.g. iron oxides and iron pyrites found in some gravels.
  • Beams and columns
  • Structural elements
  • Structural Openings
  • Bricks and Blocks – The type of aggregate and cement used affects the finished quality of bricks and blocks used in construction. At Derbyshire Specialist Aggregates, our products are free from chemicals, clay and organic material. This allows aggregates to bond well with the cement paste and not react with it.
