Flatiron Curbing & Border's Color Card

Please note that these are digital reproductions and are just for ideas; please finalize your selection from our printed color chart.

Base color sample: The base-color of cement determines color range. Like all natural materials, variation is normal in concrete. These are simulations of concrete made with reference Type II gray cement, light tan sand and water to achieve 4" slump. Actual job-site results may differ.

The base-color of cement determines color range. Like all natural materials, variation is normal in concrete. These are simulations of concrete made with reference Type II gray.

We use Davis Colors, the standard for concrete colors. We have selected the top 12 colors which will turn out the best for your curbing project. Different cements, sand, rock, mixing and jobsite conditions could alter the finished color. Flatiron Curbing is consistent and uniform in our methods however, there can be a slight variation which is normal.

It takes approximately 30 days for all the water to evaporate out of the curb and to show the final consistent color. Until then, the curb may look blotchy due to moisture and dew levels in the air *

Please note: Water must be kept away from curb for at least 48 hours (72 hours if better) in order to allow curb to cure properly. Premature exposure to water will permanently discolor your curb. If exposed to water prior to initial 72 hour curing stage your curb will appear blotchy and you risk the appearance of efflorescence on your curb. This discoloration is permanent and is not covered under warranty.

Remember to keep sprinklers and drip emitters off 2 days prior to installation and at least 2 days after installation (3 days is better) to allow the concrete to cure naturally and dry to a consistent color. If your curbing gets wet or is in contact with high levels of moisture prior to curing you will get very dark and/or very light areas throughout the project.
