White Marble Chips
The default choice for terrazzo, bright flooring and garden beds.
Marble Chips for Exposed Aggregate Concrete
Exposed aggregate concrete removes the top cement skin so the aggregate below becomes the wearing surface. Marble chips are used where the finished surface should be decorative and light rather than the grey of ordinary crushed stone.
Why marble chips suit this use
The exposed face gives grip and texture while still reading as a finished architectural surface — common on courtyards, entrances, plazas and precast panels.
What to confirm before ordering
- Chip size should suit the exposure depth planned for the surface.
- Uniform grades such as 6-8 mm give the most consistent exposed pattern.
- Surface retarder timing controls how much aggregate is revealed — a site trial panel is worth doing.
- Structural mix design and strength requirements are the responsibility of your engineer.
Recommendations here are a starting point. Final suitability depends on your project specification, and structural or engineering decisions remain with your contractor or engineer.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which chip size suits exposed aggregate concrete?
- 6-8 mm and 8-10 mm are the most commonly used because they expose cleanly without loosening.
- Can marble chips be used in load-bearing concrete?
- Decorative aggregate selection should always be reviewed against the structural mix design by your engineer.
- Will the exposed surface be slippery?
- An exposed aggregate face is normally textured and grippy, but wet-area slip performance should be verified for your specific finish.
- Do you supply chips for precast panel manufacturers?
- Yes, repeat and bulk supply enquiries from precast producers are welcome.
