Plain grey concrete does the job, but if you're building or renovating in Coomera, coloured concrete is an easy way to add character to your driveway, patio or pathways without blowing the budget.
Colour can be integrated directly into the concrete mix, or applied as a surface finish once poured, depending on the look and durability you're after. Integrated colour tends to last the lifetime of the slab, since the pigment runs through the entire mix rather than sitting on the surface.
Driveways, alfresco areas, pool surrounds and garden paths are all great candidates for coloured concrete. It's also an effective way to visually separate different zones in your outdoor space, such as a driveway from a footpath, without needing different materials.
A quality seal applied after installation helps protect the colour from fading in the sun and makes the surface easier to clean. Resealing every few years keeps coloured concrete looking sharp for the long term.
