Concrete Surfacing & Pigments
An increasingly popular application for concrete surfacing and pigments involves interior concrete countertops and decorative amenities. To create the beautiful colors, a pigment is applied at the time the concrete is placed. A rich and pure pigment may also be added in the concrete batch from the start. Integral pigments are widely used for concrete countertops, caps and other applications where other forms of coloring techniques would be less successful. Pricing is usually per pound of material and varies for each color. A special design mix such as White Portland cement may be necessary to achieve certain colors and can have a significant impact on the pricing of the overall project, so colors must be chosen judiciously.
