Concrete Color Pigment For Cement Based Materials

By Jaclyn Hurley


The use of cement based floors is increasingly popular lately. The main reason for this is the quality of these materials, as well as their lower price. They have very high durability and resilience, but they need to be appropriately stained to become attractive. Adding your favorite concrete color pigment in a mixture solves all problems related to finishing coating resilience and durability, improve the appearance and allows the use of different polishing techniques.

All cement based surfaces may be stamped or patterned, to achieve different effects. It is very easy to do it on site, and if you use color pigments, everything becomes much easier, with much better final results. The great advantage of using this staining technology is that the color is uniform, UV resistant and unchanged, on all areas. Decorative floors such as these can be easily used in interior decoration.

Integrally colored concretes and other cement based materials won't lose their color during the process of polishing. All surfaces may become perfectly glossy and attractive, just as they were made of natural marble, especially if you use lately very popular methods of acid staining. There are numerous techniques for achieving very appealing looks, and you just won't be able to recognize your floor in the end.

Of course, these powdered pigments are perfect for coloring other similar materials as well, for example stucco and plaster. A wide variety of available colors and shades makes possible to find whatever color you prefer. Premium pigments such as blue green are especially attractive, and just perfect for achieving marble-like surfaces. Combining appealing colors and different polishing techniques really gives very nice results.

Besides being highly resilient, resistant and durable, this material has another great advantage. The price is considerably lower, comparing to natural stone and similar materials. Preparation works are basically the same, but the process of pouring concrete on site is really quickly done. All stamping or patterning works take very little time, and results will absolutely surprise you.

Pouring pigmented concrete based materials on prepared surfaces takes very little time. The professionals you hire will make sure everything is running smoothly, and do whatever it takes in order to achieve your desired effects. After that, it takes some time until everything is perfectly dry, and, in this phase, some maintenance works are necessary.

Thanks to the fact that all surfaces can be polished until glossy and attractive, cement-based, pigmented materials are often used for flooring indoor and outdoor spaces, including banks, malls and private homes. All surfaces are really resilient, but even if some damage is done, it won't be very visible. Maintenance is easy and cost effective, and all surfaces are really durable, as well as attractive.

If you want to make sure everything will be done perfectly, find yourself a reliable constructor. You will probably find a reliable company online, but it is always good to ask your friends and relatives about their experiences. Have a good look at their previous projects, and make sure to hire really experienced and dependable contractors.
