Colored Concrete: Where Strength Meets Style
Concrete doesn’t have to be grey and dull. With today’s architectural demands leaning toward aesthetics as much as functionality, Colored Concrete is emerging as a popular choice for builders and designers who want more from their surfaces beauty, durability, and performance in one.
What is Colored Concrete?
Colored concrete is conventional concrete that has been enhanced with pigments or mineral oxides to give it a uniform, long-lasting color. These pigments are blended into the concrete mix before placement, ensuring the color runs through the entire depth of the concrete, not just the surface.
The result is a vibrant, fade-resistant finish that retains the structural strength of regular concrete.
How is Colored Concrete Made?
There are three common methods of producing colored concrete:
Integral Coloring: Pigments are added directly into the concrete mix at the batching plant. This creates consistent color throughout the slab.
Dry-Shake Hardener: Applied to the surface during finishing for a denser top layer with color.
Stains or Dyes: Applied after placement, these provide decorative finishes but are more surface-based and may require sealing.
At Gopal RMC, we use integral color technology to ensure uniform distribution and long-term color stability across every batch.
