Shake-On Color

Shake-On colored concrete is achieved through the topical application of color and hardening agents after the concrete has been poured, but before it has hardened. Unlike integral colors, shake-on hardeners color only the top 1/8 or 3/16 of the slab. Shake-on colored hardeners densify the concrete and increase its durability, making this an ideal choice for high-traffic walkways.
