Adding Color to Concrete Overlays

The color options for overlays are limitless. You can buy mixes that are pretinted like paint or you can add the pigment of your choice during mixing to produce custom hues. Once the overlay is applied, experienced installers can achieve more elaborate color effects, such as antiquing or marbleizing, by accenting the base color with layers of topically applied color. Some of the options include:

• Dry-shake color hardeners
• colored liquid or powdered release agents (typically used with stampable overlays)
• Dyes
• Integral color packs (like these from Concrete Solutions or Skimstone)
• Chemical or acrylic-based stains
• Tinted sealers

For more pizzazz, you can even seed overlays with decorative aggregates, color chips, or recycled glass (images provided by Studio HK).
