The Great Cover Up!

Concrete slabs, the practical but ugly solution for a building base, can now be given a very beautiful but relatively inexpensive face lift.

The acrylic-based Paving Paint – Ultra Pave – can be applied on both interior and exterior slabs and comes in 65 beautiful colours.

The slab pictured was given the ultimate makeover by applying a subtle stamped pattern to add interest and texture to the surface.

The paving paint can be applied using either a brush, roller or spray gun depending on the area to be covered and the finish required.  It is touch dry in only 30 minutes, ready for a second coat after two hours and can be walked on in just six hours.

Designed for both interior and exterior application, Ultra Pave can be used on concrete slabs, masonry walls, driveways, and concrete pavers and dries to an extremely hard wearing, slip-resistant, colour-fast satin finish.

The palette of 65 colours lends itself to any number of contemporary designs using one or more colours – bold borders, geometric patterns or stamped and stencilled patterns.

AUltra Pave, by White Knight Paints, is available nationally from paint specialists and hardware stores.  

For those who have a concrete slab that requires preparation, White Knight also manufacturers a non-toxic, citrus based Concrete Etcher that has none of the associated hazardous drawbacks of traditional etchers.  It has no toxic fumes, no risk of burns to the skin or clothes, no polluting of the waterways and none of the handling, safety and storage issues associated with acid-based etchers.

Concrete Etcher is available from the same outlets as Ultra Pave..
