Colour
One of the reasons we love concrete is the rich hues, tonal variation that can be achieved by making subtle changes to the input materials. With a range of custom, premium and standard colours, we have an option that enables architects and end-users to bring a design vision to life.
Created without the use of oxides, our premium range of colours are naturally derived from their source materials. Pairing sands sourced from across the South Island with different aggregate mixes enables us to curate a range of four architecturally inspired colours. Named directly after the source locations, this natural process not only creates products with enduring colour, warmth and tonal variation, but produces an authentic expression of an area’s geology – creating a direct link between the natural landscape and the built environment.

STANDARD
For those applications where cost-consciousness is front of mind, we also produce a range of five standard colours that are achieved with the addition of an oxide. In this process, colour fastness is front of mind. We use the highest quality oxides, and tailor our base sand and aggregate profiles to bring out the best of the oxide colour. This creates a deep colour that won’t fade or change over time.

Custom
While our range of premium and standard colours has grown out of today’s architectural demand, for orders over 150m2 we offer complete colour customisation. It’s a part of the job we love, working with architects and end users to make a truly one-off product to meet their brief.
