Nu Decorative® Exposed Aggregate Concrete - Driveways, Pools & More
One of the most versatile and attractive flooring options, exposed concrete provides a degree of grip that is particularly suited for driveways, pool surrounds and patios. A long-wearing and high-quality product that can last a lifetime. See below some examples of mixed aggregates and concrete; multiple colour combinations are available to suit your design requirements, including colour matching of existing concrete.
Note - Exposed concrete may vary in appearance due to the size of the stone, concrete placement, and intensity of exposure. The samples pictured are intended to act as a guide only and not an exact representation of the finished product; due to environmental factors and the natural raw materials used, the appearance may also vary. We recommend viewing a physical sample prior to purchase. Please read our 'Nucon Product Guide for Exposed Aggregate Concretes' for further information. Images are provided as a guide only. Colour reproduction can vary significantly when viewing colours on your computer screen and other electronic mobile devices.

Coloured Concrete
WITH OVER 50 COLOURS IN THE RANGE, NUCON’S COLOURED-THROUGH CONCRETE IS AN ATTRACTIVE AND COST-EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO THE STANDARD GREY MIX.
Coloured concrete can be used on its own or combined with contrasting or matching coloured aggregates and surface textures to create just the right look. It can be used in just about any new concrete structure, including driveways, footpaths, patios, interior floors and tilt-up panels and columns. Full-depth colouring of the entire slab means that long-term colour performance is not a problem.

Concrete Blocks
Concrete blocks are available from various Nucon Concrete Plants in Southeast QLD and Northern NSW.
Payment can be made via credit card or cash at the pickup location.
After midday is the preferred pick-up time for blocks, but please discuss this directly with the Nucon Plant when placing your order.
Long pants, a long sleeve shirt and enclosed shoes are required to be worn at the pickup location.
Product Information
Blocks are in various conditions and made from returned concrete varying in strength and colour. Some can also be in different colours, but most are grey. The Blocks are not engineered for a specific purpose.
- Type 1 - Full Rectangular Concrete Block 1400 x 700mm approx weight 1.56t ea
- Type 2 - Half Concrete Block 700 x 700 x 700mm approx weight 0.78t ea

These clutches can be purchased at the Nucon Plant for $165.00, including GST. If required, please request one in advance of pick up when placing your order.
Low Carbon Concrete
Low-Carbon Concrete: The Future of Sustainable Construction Is Here
In today’s world, building responsibly isn’t just a trend—it’s a necessity. That’s why low-carbon concrete is revolutionising the way we think about construction. Designed to significantly reduce the environmental impact of building projects, low-carbon concrete delivers all the strength and reliability of traditional mixes, while cutting carbon emissions by up to 30%. If you’re a developer, contractor, or architect focused on sustainability, innovation, and long-term value, this is the concrete solution you've been waiting for.
So, what makes it different?
Traditional concrete relies heavily on Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), one of the largest contributors to global CO₂ emissions. Low-carbon concrete replaces a portion of that cement with Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) like fly ash, ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS). These materials not only reduce the carbon footprint—they also enhance durability and long-term strength. With an optimized mix design, recycled aggregates, and improved production techniques, we’re able to deliver a high-performance product that aligns with stringent Australian Standards.
But the benefits go far beyond environmental impact. Low-carbon concrete can also lead to long-term cost savings by increasing the lifespan of structures, reducing maintenance needs, and improving energy efficiency. While the initial cost may be slightly higher, the return on investment is substantial—especially as regulations tighten and sustainability becomes a competitive advantage in the market.
We understand that every project is unique, which is why we work closely with our clients to tailor low-carbon concrete solutions that meet specific structural requirements, climate conditions, and sustainability goals. Whether you're building high-rise commercial spaces, infrastructure, or residential developments, low-carbon concrete ensures you're not just building for today, but for the future.
Let’s take the next step toward a cleaner, smarter, more sustainable built environment—together.

Environmental Product Declarations (EPD)
In alignment with our sustainability goals, Nucon publishes independently verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) that quantify the environmental impacts of our products, from cradle to gate. Developed in accordance with ISO 14025, ISO 14040, ISO 14044, and relevant Product Category Rules (PCRs), our EPDs cover a range of products, including standard-class concrete, lower-carbon mixes (such as LCHP and LC), and specialised applications.
Our EPDs comply with EN 15804, the European standard for construction product declarations. However, it is important to note that EPDs are only comparable when developed under the same or fully aligned PCRs, using equivalent system boundaries, data quality, impact assessment methods, and declared units. Products must also share identical technical functions and be valid at the time of comparison.
For further details on EPD comparability, refer to EN 15804 and ISO 14025.
Nucon’s EPD’s can be found on the EPD Australasia web site
