Concrete Colours Okotoks

Over the centuries, concrete has evolved from being purely utilitarian to being a decorative element, adding beauty and esthetics to landscape design. When integral color is added, creative possibilities are limitless. Unlike paint, integral color will never be entirely uniform because the concrete itself is not uniform which makes no two concrete pads alike adding to the unique and beautiful characterises of a pad or walkway.

Factors that affect the appearance of concrete range from the mix design, finishing techniques, curing methods, color of the aggregates, sand, and cement, weather conditions and temperature, amount of water used and sealers. Professional concrete companies have learned how to manage these many variables transforming dull gray concrete into works of art. Concrete's strength, beauty and uniqueness make it one of the most popular building materials in the world.
