Is exposed aggregate suitable for wheelchair access?

It can be, though the specific aggregate size and texture genuinely matters — a finer, less pronounced exposed finish is generally more suitable for wheelchair or mobility aid use than a coarse, heavily textured surface.

Slip resistance is a genuine benefit of exposed aggregate for accessibility, but surface evenness and appropriate gradient matter just as much — worth discussing your specific accessibility needs directly with your contractor.

For genuinely accessibility-critical areas, confirming your chosen finish meets relevant accessibility standards, not just general slip resistance, is worth the extra diligence.
