Residential > Integral Color with Sandstone Finish

This application allows us to expose the fine aggregate of the concrete for a different decorative finish. Some of the advantages of this application are: skid resistant, presents uniform finish on surface, a less costly alternative to stamped concrete but still decorative instead of just plain gray concrete.

The process is simple:

1. The concrete has integral color added before it arrives
2. The colored concrete is then poured in place and finished
3. A retarder is then applied and allow to dry
4. The retarder is then power washed off.
5. Once this is accomplished, the fine aggregate of the concrete is exposed.
6. This surface is then sealed to lock in the beautiful, decorative finish.

There are a multitude of colors available for this process. Please click here to review the colors that are available.
