Business/Commerce (general) / quarried stone
Arabic term or phrase: تشحيف
This word appears in a table with specifications for basalt aggregate (حصمة بازلت), specifying that the تشحيف should be no more than 25%.

Does anyone have any idea what this is?
Thanks!

recycled from stone walls


Explanation:
The term تشحيف is used to describe stonewalls (stone used as a decorative veneer, especially for exteriors). This specification acknowledges that some of the aggregate is recycled from stonewalls, but should not exceed 25%.

exposure / texture


Explanation:
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.



Example sentence(s):
