Colored Concrete

There are 3 methods we use to color new concrete:

• Integral Color: is color pigment that is actually mixed into the bulk concrete that is poured on site. This color is dispersed through the substance thoroughly. This maintains color, even if the concrete gets chipped.
• Broadcast Color: (sometimes referred to as Color Hardener) provides a wider and more intense range of color options. A special cement and coloring agent in powder form is distributed over the damp cement by hand. The broadcast color not only produces color accents it hardens the outer surface as well.
• Post Color: is a method of staining the surface after it has dried.

Combinations of these methods are used to achieve a variegated color quality sometimes referred to as an "antiqued" or "old world" look. It produces a very sophisticated appearance which compliments the architectural details that surround it rather than compete with them.
