Choosing Integral Color Concrete For Durability

By Patty Goff


As everything changes, so too do trends in decor. Newer, fresher ideas make life more interesting and exciting, so these are welcome changes. For instance, flooring manufacturers and designers are giving consumers more options. Below, discover what integral color concrete can do in design, and how they can increase property value instantaneously.

Trends are great, but they do come and go. On the other hand, there is classic and timeless design. For this to occur, it has to offer not only beauty, but also of durability. This is especially true in ground covering and flooring surfaces. Consider how concrete was always applied for durability, but never for its beauty, until now.

As such, it is considered cold, boring, and sometimes even unattractive. Maybe so, until someone did consider it could be rendered attractive through a process that integrates color into it. That tone could be any one that the designer decides to use. From there, it is coated with a protective sealer to ensure durability and longevity.

The whole industry has been completely moved by this innovative design and technology. It is making its way into industrial and office buildings, but also in residential homes. Colored concrete has now become an exciting surface in counter tops. Many homes and restaurants will have their counters in bathrooms and floors done in this way. What's wonderful is that it's all custom.

In a custom application, there are no two surfaces the same. All are unique. All have variations in their designs, colors, and overall appearances. Perhaps it is this that makes it so sought after by homeowners, and buyers alike. What's more is that one can finish it in a high gloss or matte finish, according to his or her tastes.

While all this is great, integral color works with coloring the concrete while it is in the mixing stage. Therefore, the shade goes right through, the top right through to the bottom. This is true whether it is cast in place or precast. The customer ends up with a product that is meant to last, without its integrity being affected, no matter what its size or thickness.

Simplicity of maintenance is another benefit to that attracts many customers. It can easily be accessorized to warm up the area, although the choice of tone already adds warmth to the surface. So, it looks great on its own, or dressed to the maximum, wherever it is applied.

It can be used in home interiors, building interiors and exteriors just the same. In a residential setting, and in-ground pool can be completed being surrounded by a lovely shade that ties in the overall look of the space. This is what creates seamless and timeless design. What's more is that it can also be made to mimic popular types of stone, or even hardwood. Concrete cannot be compared, when beautifully colored, to any other flooring option, thanks to its cost-effectiveness, and easy maintenance. It's probably why so many town halls, new condo buildings, and attractive office buildings use it so much.
