What is Colored Concrete?
Perhaps one of the most fantastic things about concrete is that it is completely moldable and can be adapted to suit any space, style and design. Traditionally, the color grey is what comes to mind when people think of colored concrete-however the days of grey are long gone. Now, there are so many hues and colors that can be used to either make your concrete blend in with existing structures or stonework. Additionally, color can be used to enhance it and make a bold statement.
How Does One Maintain Colored Concrete?
If the concrete is properly maintained, it will serve as a source of beauty for years and years to come. Maintenance is relatively simple, but can vary based upon the type of color used and the type of weather conditions. Sealing concrete (as discussed in our previous blog) will prolong the life and increase the durability of your concrete.
Tips for Getting the Best Results with Colored Concrete…
When considering colors and hues for colored concrete it is best to think in terms of the finished look and feel that you are trying to achieve in the space. First, narrow it down to if you want something more subdued and earthy or if you are looking for something more vibrant. In addition to the coloring, consider the type of finish that would best reflect the overall feeling of the space that you are trying to achieve, it can be anything from marbling to antiquing effects to something that is more uniform.
Cost of Colored Concrete…
