COLOR
TAKTL’s expressive colors come from integral, UV stable pigments, all tested and engineered for Ultra High Performance Concrete. Whether standard or custom, TAKTL Architectural UHPC panel colors can be formulated to harmonize with a subtly warm limestone, a cool precast gray, or a bright terracotta.
Standard Color
TAKTL Standard colors celebrate the mineral qualities of the raw ingredients in Ultra High Performance Concrete. Our standard colors were developed through years of formulation research and collaborative feedback from architects and designers. The standard palette is intentional in its range – it is intended to provide versatile complements to materials that often occur in architecture and nature. Color stability, colorfastness, integral pigments, and the highest quality raw materials are the basis for all of TAKTL’s standard formulations.
Color and Mediablast Finish
This process reveals a slightly different surface texture and perceived color. Mediablast can be used on its own or combined with a cast finish in order to introduce intentional color variation across a facade while using the same base color formula. The chart above illustrates this effect across the standard color palette.
Custom colors are formulated in the TAKTL materials lab, where art and science meet. Our lab specialists collaborate with project teams in an iterative sampling process beginning with a color reference. Customization can start with a variation on one of TAKTL’s standards, a reference to an adjacent building’s aesthetic, or a departure into the bold and unique color territory.
