exposure / texture
If the specifications include decorative exposed aggregate, you can choose exposed aggregate.
So the term "exposed aggregate" refers to a process of, in one way or another removing the "fines", which are the smaller sand and cement particles that bind the concrete together, from the top surface of the slab.
The surface texture of aggregate can be either smooth or rough. A smooth surface can improve workability, yet a rougher surface generates a stronger bond between the paste and the aggregate creating a higher strength.
