Davis Colors add color to the design of sidewalks, driveways, patios, streets, parking lots and other concrete pavements. They can be combined with patterns and textures to create a wide range of finishes.

Integral colors are economical to use because they are mixed into the concrete and require little additional labor to finish. Because integral colors extend throughout the slab, the color shows through even if the slab chips or is exposed. Davis Colors are made with pure, concentrated pigments especially treated for mixing into concrete. They are lightfast, alkali-resistant, weather resistant, and formulated to give long-lasting appeal to concrete.

In general, integrally colored concrete pavement is produced the same way as high-quality uncolored pavement. This document suggests specification provisions which pertain to colored concrete paving. INCORPORATE INFORMATION FROM THIS GUIDE SPECIFICATION INTO A COMPLETE MASTER SPECIFICATION FOR CONCRETE PAVING. Then edit to meet project requirements. Prepare specification in accordance with ACI recommendations and other applicable industry guidelines. Show locations and details of each type of colored concrete pavement drawings.
