Every Oxide We Pour, Photographed on Concrete
Not a colour chip. A chip under a shop light is the least reliable way to choose, because concrete is a wet mineral mix that cures and lightens for weeks.

The Colour Range Is Being Photographed
Colour is the one decision nobody in Launceston should make from a screen. We are shooting the actual oxide samples, outdoors, wet and dry, on real slabs, rather than reproducing a supplier's colour chart that will not match what you get.
What This Page Will Show
Three Things Worth Waiting For
We would rather publish this properly than fill it with a supplier's catalogue that does not match what we can actually pour here.
Each One Shown Wet and Dry
A colour can read twice as deep wet. Seeing both is the difference between liking a colour and living with it.
The Same Colour Across Three Finishes
The same oxide reads darker honed than broomed, and different again under exposed aggregate. One colour, three photographs.
Ring us and we will bring the physical samples to the free measure. That is better than any photograph and it is what we would recommend even once this page exists.

Colour Range Questions We Get Asked
Can I choose a concrete colour from a photograph?
Not reliably. Oxide keeps curing and lightening for weeks after the pour, and a screen cannot show you that. We bring the physical samples to the free measure and lay them on concrete in daylight, which is the only comparison worth making.
Does the same colour look the same on every finish?
No. The same oxide reads darker honed than broomed, and different again under exposed aggregate, because the surface texture changes how much light comes back. Tell us the finish first and we will show you that colour on that finish.
Is coloured concrete more expensive in Launceston?
Coloured through the mix runs $75 to $150 per square metre against $60 to $120 for plain, so the oxide and the more careful pour are the difference. Colour painted on afterwards is cheaper again and does not last, which is why we do not offer it.
