Coloured Concrete Information

Recommendations

When trying to match pre-existing concrete, it is worth considering selecting a contrasting or complementary colour, as the age difference between slabs will always create a variation of sorts. If using the same colour as previously then expect some visual difference both due to the age gap and also changes in the concrete raw materials. If matching pre-existing concrete is critical then we recommend contacting us to discuss the project in detail.

Concrete Sealer

If colour selection is critical to your project, then we recommend placing a sample of concrete from your chosen concrete supplier and finished to the required specification for approval.
Whilst it is not imperative to seal your decorative concrete, we suggest considering applying a clear sealer. As it helps to protect your Concrete by making it easier to clean and prevent stains. Sealers can change the look of your concrete by darkening or glossing the concrete. If further advice is required in regards to sealing, please contact us or Cordwells Concrete for further assistance.

Finishing

Concrete integrally coloured with Colourmix oxides can be finished in many different ways to achieve a variety of different looks to suit any project. The applied finish greatly influences the resulting concrete colour. From our experience, unsealed cove trowel and broom finishes may produce a lighter finish than the swatches shown. Similarly, more heavily worked or burnished finishes may result in a darker finish.

Addition Rates

For concrete strengths up to 32MPa the addition rates shown of 1 or 2 bags of Colourmix per cubic metre of concrete should be applied. For higher strength concrete, or where coloured concrete of different strengths are to be placed adjacent to one another, Cathay Industries should be contacted to recommend appropriate addition rates.

Specifying a Colour

When specifying a colour simply select a colour from the Colourmix Colour Guide overleaf. All colours shown overleaf are based on grey cement. Identify your required concrete strength (MPa). For a detailed specification to incorporate into tender documents please contact Cordwells Concrete.

Exposed Concrete

What is an aggregate?

An “Aggregate” is the name given to the crushed rock and the smaller sand particles that, along with cement, make up concrete as a whole. The finished appearance is mainly created by the choice of the aggregates.
When using aggregates the colour can vary from white quartz through to almost black basalt, there are many combinations of different colours of aggregates available.
Aggregates also can vary in size from 5mm, 7mm, 10mm, and 20mm which will make the expose mix look different.

Exposed Finish

Exposed concrete is an old technique that is very popular. Exposed aggregate finish can be widely adapted to suit your required decorative look. Your desired outcome can be created through blending our large range of colours and aggregates with the ability to produce many combinations.

Types of Textures

They can vary in texture from smooth river worn pebbles that are ideal for barefoot traffic around pool areas to the sharp crushed rocks for driveways The use of these combinations can vary on how exposed the aggregates are or for example of you choose to go for a polished finished.
