Pieri® DRC Lav

Creating Striking Exposed Aggregate Finishes Directly from the Mould

Pieri® DRC Lav is an in-form surface retarder range developed for architectural and decorative concrete applications. Applied to the mould before casting, it delays cement hydration at the concrete surface. The Pieri® DRC Lav in-form surface retarder range helps create controlled exposed aggregate finishes with enhanced texture, depth, and visual character.

  • Enhanced visual appeal: Highlights the natural characteristics of selected aggregates and decorative concrete mixes.
  • Simplified specification: Colour-coded classifications help identify the required level of surface exposure.
  • Reliable finish consistency: Supports repeatable results across production runs and multiple concrete elements.

Pieri® DRC Lav is suited to projects where exposed aggregate finishes contribute to the architectural appearance of the finished concrete.

Create distinctive façades, cladding panels, and design elements with controlled aggregate exposure and lasting visual appeal.

Produce textured concrete surfaces that enhance depth, colour, and material character across decorative applications.

Suitable for street furniture, retaining walls, and civic infrastructure where concrete appearance is an important design feature.

Supports the production of attractive paving, planters, seating, and landscape features with exposed aggregate finishes.

Ideal for bespoke concrete installations where texture and aggregate selection form part of the overall design intent.

The Pieri® DRC Lav in-form surface retarder range helps manufacturers and designers create exposed aggregate concrete finishes with confidence. By combining mould-applied convenience with controlled surface exposure, the range supports the production of visually distinctive architectural concrete.
