What is Color Hardener?
Color hardener is most often used on imprinted concrete: a color hardener (base color) is trowelled into the surface and then a release agent is added before stamping to provide highlight and keep the stamps from sticking. Both of these colors are chosen from the Bomanite Color Hardener/Release Agent Chart, but because the colors can be mixed in different ratios the color choices number in the thousands.
Color hardener may also be used on non-imprinted or standard concrete to give it color. Blues and other more dramatic colors are possible with color hardeners that aren't possible with integral colors. A special finish called a shake-on finish is achieved using color hardeners and results in a more variegated color in the concrete.
Please note: Our minimum job size is 700 square feet for flat work and 1000 square feet for floors.

What is Integral Color?
Integral color is mixed into the concrete when it is batched.
Integrally colored concrete can be used indoors or outdoors.
Custom finishing techniques are most often used with integral color: Broom Finish, Swirl Finish, and finishes like Sandscape Texture™.
