How is the concrete coloured?
Coloured concrete is achieved by mixing a powdered or liquid
pigment into the concrete at the time of batching. This has
the advantage of providing a consistent colour finish.
Will the colour in the concrete fade?
The colour system that we use is manufactured from top quality
materials and exceed all relevant standards in relation to
light fastness and tint strength. Having said that, you will
have a hard job finding a finish that will not be affected
by our strong UV rays.
Can colour be applied to an existing concrete floor?
No. This system is not an overlay (which is applied over existing
floors). The colour is mixed into the concrete before it is
poured giving the concrete a consistent finish, it cannot be
applied to floors already laid.
There are some major points you must be aware of and understand
about coloured concrete
i) The colour will be motley and have colour variation within
the slab.
ii) The concrete may crack.
iii) Each slab is unique to itself in relation to finish and
colour. No two slabs will be the same, even though the same
colur has been used.
