BRICKFORM Decorative Concrete Solutions

As one of the oldest and most trusted manufacturers of decorative concrete products in the world, BRICKFORM? has been defining the market in architectural concrete coloring and texture stamping products for 30 years. In that time, decorative concrete has become one of the most popular methods for creating colorful indoor and outdoor hardscapes and surfaces. One reason for decorative concrete's growing popularity is the cost. Decorative concrete costs approximately one-third less than many natural

materials, and can be used to revitalize old, worn concrete surfaces. BRICKFORM's finely engineered products allow decorative concrete professionals to install creative and unique concrete, matched perfectly to their customers' desires. BRICKFORM is committed to providing the most innovative and useful coloring systems on the market.

All BRICKFORM textures have been designed to strict standards to ensure that every pattern is square and tight fitting, reducing pattern lines and unsightly ridges. BRICKFORM is dedicated to the precise and unsurpassed consistency of each and every texturing tool.

BRICKFORM Color Hardener(TM) is a colorant and surface hardener designed to work with texturing tools to produce clear, sharp impressions in new concrete flatwork and floors. Color Hardener is a dry, shake-applied hardener made from the finest pigments and aggregates available. Color Hardener is engineered specifically to color cast-in-place concrete, while hardening the concrete's surface. The hardened surface is resistant to weathering, wear and normal abrasion.

BRICKFORM Antique Release(TM) is a powdered, colored bond-breaker used to keep texturing tools from adhering to the surface of freshly imprinted concrete. At the same time, it can be used to add color, shading and highlighting to the design. When applied to the concrete and the texturing tool prior totexturing, a portion of the Antique Release becomes imbedded into the concrete leaving behind an "antiqued" appearance. A variety of color effects is possible by using a release color that either matches or contrasts with the underlying concrete. Color Hardener and Antique Release are available in 40 standard colors plus black and white. In addition, custom colors are available upon request.
