Concrete paving is both aesthetically pleasing and functional, and coloured concrete can add a new level of beauty and design to your home. The best concrete contractors – like those at Burnaby Blacktop – can form concrete into different shapes, textures, and colours adding immeasurably beauty, function, and value to your home. Simply put, yes you can add colour to your concrete and this coloured concrete can transform a room, patio, or yard from plain to spectacular.

How can concrete contractors add colour to concrete?

There are two main ways to add colour pigment to concrete – surface colouring and integral colouring – each of which comes with its own set of pros and cons. Surface colouring is most commonly used for interior floors. Surface colouring has reduced surface porosity, increased abrasion resistance, and is more affordable than integral colouring.

Integral colouring, on the other hand, is a favourite for exterior projects. As the name would indicate, the colour is mixed in with the concrete. This allows for it to retain its colour better during deep cleans and intense weathering. While integral colouring does not increase surface density like surface colouring, the colours do hold up well outdoors.

Concrete paint is another coloured concrete option if you are hoping for a less permanent option or the ability to change colours more readily.
