NAWTONE has its roots in the architectural ceramics industry. Different clinker brick firings often need to be treated to achieve uniformity of colour without affecting the excellent properties of the brick. From its origins as a corrective agent, NAWTONE has developed into a decorative repair, restoration and complete colour change system.
And since it works so well on absorbent clinker brick, why not on concrete surfaces?
The result: Nawtone Stain NWRT-91!
Nawtone is a colour system for vertical or inclined concrete surfaces and hence especially suitable for smartening up facing and structural concrete. You can mix or water dilute 20 different colours, enabling the creation of almost any colour or shade. At the same time, the use of light-dark effects amplifies and accentuates the play of light and shadow.Nawtone is not just suitable for concrete surfaces, it can also be used on all absorbent mineral substrates such as clinker brick, normal brick, mortar, stucco and stone.
