Concrete Colours

We’re proud to offer concrete in a wide variety of colours as a service to our customers to assist them in making design decisions using curb products

Our process allows for customized selections of color and texture choices, as well as curved shapes and turns, which gives our customers full control over how their properties look with our curbs installed.

Unlimited Colour options The mix is up to you.

We will assist you in selecting the design, pattern, and color that will best enhance your curb appeal. Remember that your actual results may vary. Colors as they appear on your computer or in print may not reflect the actual color of the curbing, but they are a close representation.

Once your curbing is installed, it will take about 30 days to fully cure and the color will change during this time, as the water evaporates out of the concrete. We do ask that you protect the curbing for two full weeks, not allowing anyone (and that includes your pets) walking near or on it, to avoid damage to your curbing. After two weeks, you should then back fill with topsoil right up to the front and back side of your curbing.

All these colors are available

Results may vary based on the mixtures and other environmental factors

While we have endeavored to make Colour selection a simple process, The truth is that the colours you see here may differ from the installed color for a wide variety of reasons:

• computer monitors are rarely calibrated for accurate color reproduction
• the lighting in your room may not match what direct sunlight will reveal
• mixing and climatic variations on-site can affect final color look

We are able to provide a wide variety of colours but every mix provides a unique hue that can be darker or lighter than expectations created by digital representations. Please tell us what you have in mind and we can help you find the right mix for your application.

If a specific tone is required additional expenses may be incurred for testing mixtures and may take a month to dry to their final shade before settling on a mix. This can be a long process but we are happy to help you achieve any result you desire as long as you are patient and are willing to fund the additional costs.

Natural pigments produce a range of well, natural colors, think earth tones.

  • These are achieved by combining one, two or three of the primary colors that occur in iron oxides.
  • Synthetic pigments produce; you guessed it, synthetic colors. These have a broader color range than those of natural pigments which opens up many more color choices.
  • Most integral colors whether they are natural or synthetic are permanent, they won’t fade with time.

A LITTLE CONCRETE ADDS A LOT OF BEAUTY
