Integral colored concrete process consists of mixing 1 of 64 liquid colors into the concrete while it's in the ready-mix truck. The process is a cost-efficient method that provides a decorative, warm look to the concrete, it adds about 30% to the price of plain concrete. Colored concrete pigments chemically bond to the concrete, and according to authorities in the industry, will not fade over time.

The colors are subtle and not as intense as the surface-applied color hardener process. The color however mixes all the way through the concrete which makes the final outcome subject to the mixture of the concrete: the variations of the type of stone, the amount of water and cement, etc., as well as the ambient temperature at the time of placement. These variations prevent the surface from providing a "painted-like" consistent look.

GBR concrete uses Solomon Colors, a world leader in concrete coloring products. GBR can provide many customer addresses that have used integral concrete for you to inspect.
