Abstract:
Concrete enhanced with color and texture—once considered a niche-market product confined to use in the residential, hotel, and hospitality sectors—is now widely used in building and renovating major public transit, municipal and commercial projects. Colored and textured architectural concrete can also mimic brick, tile, slate, granite, limestone, or even wood, thus providing long-term value at a lower cost than these traditional building materials typically offer. . .
