How to choose color concrete
2018-08-06

In life, there is no lack of color. The color concrete decoration can satisfy people's pursuit of art. By taking appropriate measures, the surface of concrete can make its surface with decorative line, patterns, textures, texture and colors to meet the aesthetic requirements of people, meet the different requirements of various ornaments, and show the unique artistic effect of architectural decoration. There are many ways to get the decorative effect of ordinary concrete, including three aspects: line and texture, color, shape and pattern.

 

Line and texture

Concrete is a plastic forming material, which can almost be processed into arbitrary shape and size. When the wall and component are formed, the proper mold is used and a certain process method is used to make the concrete surface form a certain line or texture texture. This is the main means of decoration on the ordinary coagulation, which is called as clear water decorative concrete. If the steel formwork is used, the concrete surface can be formed with large lattice joints, and the texture texture can be formed through the formwork, the mold lining, the surface processing, or the exposed coarse aggregate. When the wall forms the line and the texture, there must be a certain degree of convex and concave, so that a part of the concrete will become a pure decorative concrete.

 

Color

When exposed aggregate is used to decorate concrete, its color varies with the depth of the surface peeling and the variety of cement, sand or slag. When the surface is flat, the color of cement and fine aggregate will play the main role, and the color of coarse aggregate increases with the deepening of the peeling degree. On the surface of concrete exposed to aggregate, the color of the concrete is more lively because of its combined effects of color and texture.

There are a variety of measures to change the color of clean concrete. The main measures are to add pigment to the surface of the concrete products as a layer of color decoration, or to paint a layer of suitable and durable coating on the surface of concrete. The effective measures to change the color of the decorating and coagulating of the exposed aggregate are the bright colored cement or aggregate. This method can not only get better color, but also have a good color, stable color and pollution, and have good durability. White cement, color cement or colored aggregate are most commonly used in building decoration projects.

 

Modeling and pattern

With the characteristics of plastic forming, the concrete products are made by the design of the plastic molding, or the concrete surface with geometric patterns and stereoscopic embossing, which is a concrete decoration method developed in recent years. Under the premise of satisfying the design function, the ordinary concrete products are designed into a certain shape, which is not only beautiful and durable, but also economical and practical.

The engineering practice has proved that in the formwork of concrete, the lining board of a certain pattern and pattern is arranged according to the design. After the concrete is hardened and dismantled to dismantle the template, the concrete surface can be made to form a three-dimensional decorative pattern. This is a simple and good decoration method for the construction.
