During construction of this new school build, the in situ concrete finish did not meet the architect's design expectations for colour consistency andappearance.
ECOTONE was engaged to deliver a more seamless, natural looking finish, applying a colour matching coating onsite to correct the inconsistencies across the concrete surface. The coating was chosen for its ability to enhance the concrete's appearance while maintaining durability and breathability, chemically bonding with the surface rather than sitting on top ofit.
The result is a refined, cohesive finish that met the architect's original design vision, resolving the colour inconsistency without the need for replacement orrework.

“This was one of those projects where attention to detail really paid off. We worked closely with the site team and adjusted on the fly to get the colour just right. It’s always satisfying to take on a surface that needs improvement and bring it to life with a finish that feels intentional andwell-resolved.”

FAQs
ECOTONE provides architectural finishes, colour matching solutions, and protective coatings including emulsion stains, sealants, primers, and waterproof and weatherproof systems designed to enhance, restore, and protect building surfaces with long lasting, low VOCperformance.
Standard paint is a surface-level decorative layer. ECOTONE coatings are multi-layered systems that penetrate and bond with the substrate, delivering deeper texture, stronger adhesion, and long-term durability. Designed for harsh conditions, they offer advanced protection and can last up to 25 years when properlyapplied.
ECOTONE coating systems are specified for application by approved applicators trained in our products and processes, ensuring consistent quality and eligibility for the 25-yearwarranty. Many projects are delivered as custom building finishes, with ECOTONE working directly with architects, builders, and precast partners to achieve the design intent. For new projects or pricing, contact your local ECOTONE office or submit a ProjectEnquiry.
ECOTONE coatings are compatible with a wide range of building materials such as concrete, brick, block, mortar, fibre cement andplasterboard. Each substrate needs the right preparation and, where required, a suitable primer. Technical data sheets and other resources are available to help select the correct ECOTONE products for yourproject.
Sustainability at ECOTONE is driven by how surfaces are designed, applied and maintained over time. Our coating systems reduce material use, extend building life and minimise environmental impact across the builtenvironment.
