Coloured Concrete

Heidelberg Materials Colourcrete

Heidelberg Materials range of coloured concrete can add a whole new dimension to your project, available from all of our static and mobile production plants. It can be used wherever conventional concrete is specified and can be colour-matched to blend with the surrounding area or help your project stand out from the crowd. 

The coloured concrete range of high quality ready mix concretes is available nationally in a range of standard colours – or can be produced in a bespoke mix to your exact requirements for a more decorative concrete feel. Coloured concrete provides a permanent, cost-effective alternative to decorative surface coatings and brings colour and texture to a wide range of structures – from footpaths, flooring and facades to skate parks, shopping centres and sea defences.
