Frequently asked questions
How is concrete coloured?
Integrally-coloured or colour-through concrete refers to the addition of pigments to the concrete or topping mix in order to colour the entire volume of concrete. Mineral oxide pigments are added at the batching stage in predetermined quantities and thoroughly dispersed through the concrete mix to ensure that all of the concrete is tinted to the specified colour. The concrete is delivered to site and then carefully placed and finished by experienced concrete placers in a similar manner to grey concrete.
Coloured concrete sealer
The application of a Same Day Sealer on the day of the concrete pour enhances curing, minimises efflorescence and provides protection against the subsequent ingress of dirt and grease. It also adds further intensity to the colour of the concrete. After several days a coat of a more durable sealer can be applied to protect concrete from subsequent staining.
