WHITE CEMENT CONCRETE AND
COLORED CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION
Owners and developers
seeking dynamic
architectural results demand the benefits
that only white or colored concrete
can deliver. Informed designers rely
on careful selection of materials and
attention to mixing and placement
details to achieve eye-catching
architectural and decorative finishes.
Because of its versatility, concrete
offers endless design possibilities. A
wide variety of decorative looks are
achieved by using colored aggregates
and pigments, and by varying surface
finishes, treatments, and textures.
Combining white cement with pigments
and colored aggregates expands the
number of colors available to discerning
customers. Colors are cleaner and more
intense because pigments and specialty
aggregates don’t have to overcome the
grayish paste of common concrete.
