Exposed Aggregate Stack

A seamless concrete texture with exposed aggregate arranged in a stack pattern. The image represents a physical area of 3075 x 2222 mm (121.1 x 87.5 inches) in total, with each individual block measuring approximately 1000 x 2200 mm. The joints are filled with rough concrete and are 25 mm (1 inches) in width.

Exposed aggregate is a term used to describe any concrete element where rough pieces of aggregate are left exposed on the surface of the concrete. Exposed aggregate finishes are often associated with the brutalist movement owing to the popularity of this finish for large concrete elements. Exposed aggregate is often used for large scale building and civil engineering projects as a facade element or internal finish.

This texture uses a stack pattern. The stack pattern is the most basic of the standard patterns in architecture and interior design with each unit simply stacked one above the other and no horizontal or vertical offsets. When used in masonry construction, materials arranged in a stack bond typically require additional reinforcement when compared with a standard running bond.

This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations.
