Cost-Effective

A cost-effective alternative to painted industrial floors that reduces construction costs and build programme time compared to decorative surface coatings.

Why Artevia™ Colour

Artevia™ Colour is an aesthetically desirable ready-mixed concrete that allows you to create contrast with other materials or surroundings. By eliminating the necessity for costly decorative surface coatings, it reduces overall construction cost and build time. The permanent, through-colouring is a key feature, ensuring that any surface damage will not detract from the visual appearance, unlike surface-applied coatings.
