DECORATIVE CONCRETE
Decorative concrete combines the strength, durability, and affordability of concrete with the natural beauty of New Zealand’s spectacular riverbeds.

Please note: While we strive to provide an accurate representation of our decorative concrete range, aggregates are natural products, so some colour variations may occur. Placing, weather, and site conditions can also influence the final result. Using a high-quality sealer at regular intervals can help mitigate these variations. Holcim will not be responsible for rectifying natural variations in colour, texture, size, and shape that can occur from batch to batch.
