Choose your colour.

It’s time to choose your colours.

There are a couple of things you need to keep in mind. Colours look different on every screen you view them on, so order some actual samples before making your final decision. Something else to remember is that because concrete is a natural material with natural variations, the concrete laid in your space probably won’t match the sample exactly.

The use of different sealers will impact on the final colour, as you’ll see from the swatches we supply.

Choose your texture.

The most common consideration is how easy the floor is to clean and how safe and non-slip your exterior surface is.

Select one of the options below. We recommend, however, that you talk to your contractor first about the right texture for your project.

Smooth Surface

Non-slip Surface

Wall Textures

Other available concrete textures.

Smooth Surface

Non-slip Surface

Wall Textures

Smooth Trowel

Standard internal finish for residential floors to generate a smooth concrete surface.

Light Trowel

Smooth finish for residential floors with trowel marks visible on the surface.

Medium Trowel

Textured finish for external residential concrete surfaces, ideal for patios and pool surrounds.

Rough Trowel

Pebble profile is clear but not heavy. Very textured finish for external residential concrete surfaces, ideal for driveways and paths.

Light Broom

Very textured finish for external residential concrete surfaces, ideal for driveways and paths.

Heavy Broom

Very rough textured finish for external surfaces with significant slope or areas where non-slip required.

Natural Polish

Generates a very smooth surface with no aggregate visible.

Salt and Pepper Grind

Generates a very smooth surface with very fine aggregate visible.

Light Grind

Generates a very smooth surface with fine aggregate visible.

Medium Grind

Generates a very smooth surface with medium aggregate visible.

Heavy Grind

Generates a very smooth surface with significant aggregate visible.

Machined

Used to increase the durability of the concrete surface. General commercial application for floors subject to heavy machinery or high usage.

Sandstone

Gives concrete a subtle texture and a 'sandstone' appearance.

Texture Roll

Gives a subtle dimpled texture to the concrete surface.

Bush Hammer

Method of texturing existing concrete where a non-slip surface is required.

Fair-faced concrete

Simple clean flat surface.

Textured or Decorative

A great way to add interest to walls and precast panels.

Exposed Aggregate

Aggregate prominent both aesthetically and texturally

Choose your patterns.

Here’s where you can choose the style of cuts you want in your concrete to avoid the risk of cracking.

Construction Cuts are essential in controlling concrete cracking. Talk to your contractor about where the construction cuts will be positioned.

Add Decorative Cuts to add even more visual interest to your coloured concrete flooring.

Concrete cuts.

Construction cuts only

This technique is required for concrete floors to control the cracking so it occurs at the cuts.

Decorative cuts

Square pattern cuts applied in addition to construction cuts for aesthetic purposes.

Not Applicable

Generally, no cuts are needed in concrete walls, however please be aware however that for cast in-situ walls, you’ll need to include expansive joints to allow for movement. We recommend that you discuss this with your engineer.

Choose your protection.

Your coloured concrete is laid. Now it’s time to protect it from staining and marking.

Sealing or polishing the concrete surface makes it easy to clean, maintain and prolongs the life of your concrete. The sealer you choose has an impact on the final look and feel, it also provides the finishing touch to your space.

The use of different sealers will impact on the final colour, as you’ll see from the swatches we supply.
