Coloured concrete I love though for some reason. our interior designer (who was very savvy with externals) suggested for us to select our stencil colour to closely match the roof colour which will be jasper Food for thought anyway, hope it works out well whatever you go with Blog - http://snakedr.blogspot.com/ Build Thread - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=12084&p=307406#p307406 Status - PCI 15/10.

I remember the guy saying the more cuts the less cracking that can occur. We had 2 cracks with the random pattern. They were not serious but apparently....expected I think the colour will look fantastic.

As he didn't give me brochures from either of these companies, but from 2 other competitors, I wonder whether he will be willing to use their product?
