Colour Seal Application

Applying Colour Sealer to fresh concrete

Before & After Colour Seal Application
Colour seal application

After many months of rain and a slight reprieve, we’ve been able to get out and finish many of our jobs that required the finishing touch of colour sealer. 

This one project we finished resulted in an amazing finish that TCB Concrete is known for. 

Check out the difference between the before and after results. 

There are many benefits to colour sealing a concrete project

  1. ensures concrete longevity
  2. aesthetically appealing
  3. addition of grit can offer non slip surfaces for safety purposes

We suggest colour seal application after concrete pour, however we do regularly offer clients with existing homes a full pressure wash & colour reseal which can help with the overall appearance & tidiness of the home and increase sales value if listing on the Property market.

Booking is easy. Simply send us the address of the property, along with some photos and and approximate square metres and a colour preference and we’ll text back your quote and our availability.

We’ve completed another rural project last week that the owner was delighted with. 

Our attention to detail and carrying out the project to the job specs has always been critical to the functioning of our business. 

It’s the little details that make the difference. We work with councils in rural areas to ensure the job is done correctly. 

We undertake all excavation, council liaison where needed, setting up and formwork to pouring and finishing and removing all formwork for a seamless, finished job.

Trowel Finish

Trowel finish is the most common and popular finish of concrete used for all major types of applications. After the concrete is poured and levelled off, a trowel is used to smooth and fine-level the surface of concrete, leaving a smooth surface (no patterns).

Broom Finish

Broom finished concrete delivere a  rough textured finished created by dragging a broom on the trowelled surface of the concrete while the concrete is still fresh. This is a great non-slip option

Stamped concrete

Stamped Impression

Stamped concrete finish is obtained by pressing the required patterns on the freshly levelled concrete.

This type of concrete finish after completion of their construction looks similar to stones such as slates or flagstones, brick, tile, timber flooring & more. The possibilities are endless with stamped concrete and paired with varying colour options can really add to the aesthetic of your home. 

Stencil concrete
Stencil Finish

Stencil Finish

Stencil finish is obtained by laying a stencil pattern on the freshly levelled concrete and then a layer of pigment colour applied over the top. When set, the stencil is removed to reveal an impressed pattern. 

 

Hand Cove Finish (Swirl pattern)

Hand Cove Finish

Swirl finish is one of the most exceptional types of concrete finish that is generated by smearing the concrete surface in a uniformly overlapping circular pattern.

Swirl Finish

It provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the concrete surface which is favoured for outdoor applications such as driveways, paths & walkways, because it’s an ideal non slip finish.

We have a a range of colour hardeners, release agents, oxides and pigments for grey and off-white concrete surfaces. If you want to achieve a full depth of colour for your concrete surfaces, we have UV-resistant oxides that can be added to concrete, mortar and render mix.
