Bannan Construction using Peter Fell Oxide have done a brilliant job on this Grey Lynn Project.
Exterior walls are PeterFell 698. At the request of the owner the concrete wall has been made to look aged/rustic and as though it’s been there for decades.
First cast concrete wall is over 9m tall and was poured in one continuous pour! Impressive! What a success story!!
You’re ready to add coloured concrete to your space.
We’ve prepared this handy step-by-step design tool to make the whole process easy for you. So click on the space you’re creating, and let’s get started.

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.

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.

Almost done.
You’ve chosen a colour, a texture, a pattern, and protection for your space. Fill out the form below and we’ll send you actual concrete samples of the colours you’ve chosen. If you like, we’ll also email this report to you, or your architect, your contractor, builder, or interior designer. It’ll help give them an indication of what you want to achieve in your space. We recommend you meet with them and discuss the details using this as a starting point.
