Wide range of colours Toptint Colour contains an integral colour pigment which is UV stable meaning that the colour will not degrade from natural sunlight. Also because we use a liquid pigment, the colour is evenly mixed throughout the concrete.

10 National Cycling Centre Toptint was chosen by the project s landscape architects for the pathways in Manchester s BMX velodrome, one of the leading training tracks for the 2012 Olympic cyclists. After many samples were viewed, Toptint Exposed was selected in a cream colour pigment along with an imported aggregate. Critical to this decision was Toptint s aesthetic qualities, along with its slip resistance and ability to stand up to the British winter.

12 The Hepworth, Wakefield When architects and concrete suppliers work closely together, the results can be as rewarding as they are inspiring. A perfect illustration of this is the Hepworth, where the bold and striking design by prize-winning architects David Chipperfield was brought to life with the use of a bespoke aubergine coloured concrete named Hepworth Brown, specially developed using Toptint/Topflow. The finished gallery with its signature trapezoidal blocks and distinctive finish is rightly considered by many as a work of art in its own right.
