ARCHITECTURAL DECORATIVE CONCRETE IS DEFINED AS ANY CONCRETE THAT IS
INTENDED TO SERVE AS AN AESTHETIC ENHANCEMENT OF THE OVERALL DESIGN OF A STRUCTURE OR SPACE.

With awareness and appreciation of the diverse uses for concrete continuing to increase worldwide, concrete remains the ideal solution for new construction and renovation in commercial and residential developments, museums, educational facilities, parks, public areas, retail, restaurant and hospitality projects, streetscapes, theme parks, green spaces and so much more. Concrete provides advantages for colourful, healthy, sustainable, LEED-compliant and cost-effective construction to meet today’s design and construction challenges. Sika offers a complete line of engineered decorative concrete colouring, texturing, refurbishment and performance systems from the two industry-leading brands: Butterfield Color, the contractor’s choice; and Scofield, the most specified brand of architectural concrete colour. Together, these highly reputable brands bridge the gap between functionality and aesthetics, allowing architects, specifiers, contractors and homeowners to achieve both performance goals and design intent. We’re changing the way the world looks at concrete.

SIKA INTEGRAL COLOURS are added to the concrete mix at the batch plant or at the jobsite. When the concrete is poured, it is consistently coloured all the way through the mix. Integral colour is typically the most cost effective way to add colour to concrete, and it can be used alone or in conjunction with other concrete colouring and finishing techniques to create a variety of appearances.

Sika’s Integral Colors are a precise blend of non-fading, synthetic iron oxides which produce uniform, permanent, streak-free colours in all types of architectural concrete. This includes cast-in-place, precast, and dry-cast concrete floor slabs, walls, steps, sidewalks, curbs, columns, arches, blocks, pavers, and other decorative objects. All Sika Integral Color conforms to ASTM Standard C 979 (Standard Specification for Pigments for Integrally Colored Concrete). Sika Integral Colors can also be used to help mitigate the Urban Heat Island Effect through the use of special reflective pigments.

A key component of Sika Integral color is our colour-matched concrete curing compound. Used during concrete placement, it reduces surface cracks and colour variations that can be caused by uneven drying and efflorescence that commonly occurs in warm, windy, or dry environments.
