Can I buy concrete from Ability?
Ability does not sell concrete - we manufacture pigments for concrete and other related construction products.
Does Ability have Concrete ‘stains’?
We recommend Ability’s Dy-On-Crete® Mark 2 or duro paint™ with it’s 20 year guarantee* (*conditions apply).
Do we have a suitable product for large cracks in driveways etc?
Yes, we recommend Ability’s duro paint™ as a flexible filler.
Do you have a product that will stop the white salt forming on the newly laid concrete? Does Ability have a product that will remove it?
This ‘white salt’ effect is known as efflorescence. Ability has a product which is unique in the market place called Efflorein® Mark 2 which when mixed with the concrete before it is poured eliminates this problem. Unfortunately after the concrete is set this streaking is very difficult to eradicate so we recommend an application of colour matched duro paint™ with it’s 20 year guarantee* (*conditions apply) as it has the durability and qualities required for a heavy duty areas such as concrete pavements - particularly driveways.
