Surface Coatings

Castle Colours offers a wide range of stains that can be applied in various ways:-

Powdered Stain

Castle Colours bespoke blended products are intimately mixed to provide the customer with a consistent and controlled reaction.  Dependant upon the customers own inventiveness, the product can be used neat or mixed with other aggregates on site.  If atmospheric conditions and/or temperature stability are an issue, Castle Colours can supply pre-calcined stains to help to reduce variation of final product colour.

Sand Stain Mix

Castle Colours are market leaders in the supply of premixed sands and stains. In today's climate of reduced manpower, many manufacturers have neither the time nor facilities to mix on site.  Combine this with stringent health and safety legislation, it is clear to see why many brick and tile manufacturers now require products delivered to site " quality controlled" and ready for use. Castle Colours can provide this facility and are also able to offer bonded sand stain mixes if preferred by the customer.

 

Liquid Stains
 
These products can either be supplied as high density slurries for further dilution by the end user or  supplied as  pre-diluted controlled suspensions  ready for immediate use.  Liquid colours provide a most economical method of colouring products.

Castle Colours works closely with manufacturers of spray plant and equipment in order to ensure the customer is provided with the most suitable and effective solution for their needs.
 
Liquid stains can be combined with other materials and methods to provide the customer with unique effects. They are currently being used to mimic the effect of "kiln flashing" thereby dispensing with the troublesome process of intermittent reduction firing whilst simultaneously reducing noxious kiln emissions.
 
Special Aggregates
 
In addition to our extensive range of stains Castle Colours sources and produces a portfolio of special aggregates. This product group includes our unique Antique Spot that has been designed to reproduce the glass-like iron specking seen on the bricks of a bygone era.   This product is available in several grades and can be combined with any of our other products to create distinctive finished effects.    
 
All of the above products are packaged in various forms.  Castle Colours can meet most customers specifications
