Block...
When adding onto an existing structure, it's virtually
impossible to match material colors. Even if the contractor
requests material from the original manufacturer, the
runs will have different appearances. Also surface weathering
and environmental affects, such as pollution, add to the
complexity of making an addition blend with the original
structure.
Nawkaw Corporation was the first in North America to offer
masonry staining as a service. The color treatment technology
and proprietary product line adds color and texture to
brick, block, stone, EIFS, precast and tilt-up concrete.
Masonry stains can last for 25 years or more depending
on which product is used. Look for a stain with a solid
warranty available and extensive field and laboratory testing. Ask
for references to be sure you're working with a reputable
company. There are two key factors when it comes to masonry
staining. The first is having the right product. The second
is hiring a company with qualified professional applicators.
When an addition was added to this concrete block building,
Nawkaw was contracted to match the preexisting color,
texture, and decorative accents for the new block. Nawkaw's
proprietary products were used with astonishing results.
The original color was blended on-site and professionally
applied by crews who are trained to duplicate the color
ranges and surface textures of the existing masonry. |
