What about colour in our slab floor? What colours can our concrete be and when is the colour added?
Color can be added to your mix at the time of pouring, this needs to be discussed with your concrete supplier. Ask your supplier for there color range and we recommend that you double the strength to allow for some fading. -

Can a concrete floor be damaged and subsequently repaired?
A concrete floor though very hard and durable is not completely invincible. A floor can be damaged, for example, should someone hit the floor with a chisel. Sometimes, particularly if a slab was poured incorrectly with too wet a mix, a piece of aggregate (small stone) may become dislodged from the finished surface after a certain amount of time.
