Concrete Additives
Concrete Additives
The additives category lists two products for use alongside our coping stone installations: a Colour Matched Concrete Dye and a Coping Resin Colour Enhance & Seal (1 litre). Both are intended for use on or around precast concrete copings — the dye for mortar and jointing, the resin for sealing and enhancing the finished stone surface.
Buying Guide
Colour Matched Concrete Dye
This dye is formulated to match the pigment loading used in specific coping stone colours, making it straightforward to specify a bedding mortar or pointing mix that reads as part of the same finish rather than a contrasting colour. It is an integral pigment for addition to wet mixes — not a surface treatment. Order alongside or at the same time as your coping stones to ensure colour consistency.
Coping Resin Colour Enhance & Seal
A 1-litre bottle of coping resin designed to enhance the surface colour of precast concrete copings and apply a protective seal. The resin brings out the depth of pigmented concrete, giving a richer, more consistent appearance, and provides a surface seal that helps repel surface water and reduce staining in the early life of the installation. It is a surface-applied product, not an admixture.
When to use each product
Use the dye in the mortar before the stone is laid; use the resin after laying and once the mortar has cured. The two products are complementary — the dye unifies the joint colour with the stone, and the resin then enhances and protects the stone surface itself. Neither is a structural product and neither replaces correct specification of the mortar bedding mix.
