Troubleshooting

Off-white or greyish final colour

This is typically due to the use of non-white sand or aggregates. Ensure all sand and aggregates used are white. Also, check for contamination in mixing equipment.

Inconsistent colour in the mix

Ensure consistent measurement of cement, water, sand, and aggregate. Incomplete mixing can lead to colour variations. Perform trial mixes to perfect ratios before large-scale application.

Cracking or weakness in the final product

Verify that the mix ratios are correct according to recommended guidelines or trial mix results. Ensure proper curing of the concrete or mortar after application.
