An Introduction to the System

Ever noticed how colour can transform a space?

So have we.  And we asked ourselves, why restrict colour to walls and furnishings.  What if you could create the same magic underfoot that we take for granted on other surfaces of our living spaces?  And what if you could extend colour to every space - inside and out?  What would that make possible?  Welcome to the The PeterFell System.  Using the latest colouring technologies, we've created the means for you to make your own unique mark on your living environment.

Locked-in colour for any situation - patios, drives, interior floors

The PeterFell System is both a colouring and protection system for concrete.  It provides a brilliant finish from day 1, and ensures the finish stays that way for many years.  Unlike other systems, the PeterFell System is not applied to the surface of concrete.  It's mixed into it and through it, before the concrete is laid. This ensures the colour does not chip or wear over time, even with vigorous cleaning or the harsh effects of the weather.
 
Once set, the concrete is finished with a sealer that both enhances and protects the colour to help prevent against staining and marking.  The concrete can also be cut into any pattern, to give the effect of large flagstones, diamonds or tiles. So by combining colour, texture and cutting patterns, you can create a virtually endless array of finishes. 

Nature's gift.

Concrete is made from all natural materials yet it is highly durable and has been used as far back as 3,000 BC, in buildings, roading, aqueducts, public baths -you name it.
 
Today, concrete is the world's most widely used construction material and for good reasons.  It soaks up heat during the day, and releases it when the temperature cools down. Concrete-floor houses are warmer and cosier.
 
Concrete is durable, inexpensive, easy to clean, and highly attractive.  It's infinitely adaptable - by adding a rug here and a runner there, you can create an appealing mix of soft and hard surfaces, and endless variations of colour, pattern and texture.  What's more, concrete can provide a seamless transition between the indoors and out, perfect for the New Zealand summer lifestyle.
 
And with the PeterFell System, concrete itself can be a whole range of colours and textures.  

The only limit is your imagination. 

The PeterFell System can be used wherever concrete can.  Indoors, or out.   It creates beautiful, high gloss floors where elegance is paramount. It's also ideal for non-slip areas, such as pool surrounds and pathways.
 
You can also use the PeterFell System in plaster, exposed aggregate concrete, tilt slab panels, paving and even fireplace hearths and bench tops.
 
The bottom line: if you can imagine it, the PeterFell System can probably deliver it.  

Any colour you like.

The PeterFell System includes 60 colours, from soft pastels to robust, earthy tones.  The colour range falls into seven groupings: neutral, sandstone, terracotta, brown, stone, charcoal and aqua.
 
Coupled with a wide range of textures and finishes, this adds up to a virtually infinite palette for you to work with.
 
The final colour is also subtly influenced by a number of factors on the day, from humidity to sunlight as well as the placing and handling by your chosen concrete professional.  Colour movement (clouding) can be a natural character of concrete so your finish will be unique and consequently, no two surfaces will ever be exactly alike. Discuss these factors with our team and your concrete contractor to help acheive your desired finish.
