CONCRETE OVERLAYS

Concrete Overlays

Concrete is such a versatile material. Decorative Finish has taken advantage of that versatility and now there are several solutions available to restore concrete slabs and enhance it to a whole new level. Sounds expensive? You would be surprised how cost-effective concrete overlays are when it comes to updating aesthetics and repairing concrete damage. Aside from being affordable, resurfacing also consumes less time than having to remove and replace a concrete slab completely. Although they look super luxurious and eye-catching, resurfaced concrete is actually easier to clean and maintain.

Top Options for Decorative Concrete Resurfacing Projects
As detailed earlier, concrete overlays offer a lot of benefits. But before you dive in, you must choose the right type of overlay to use on your concrete surfaces. Although each one is different in aesthetics, materials, and methods used, these are all reliable and long-lasting.
  • Stamped Concrete Overlay – This overlay is ideal for concrete patios, pool decks, driveways, and other outdoor surfaces. The stamping process involves the use of stamp mats which transfers a pattern on the wet but firm overlay. You have the choice to maintain the natural gray color of concrete or to have the stamped surface stained for a more decorative effect. Featured patterns are slate, flagstone, travertine, brick, cobblestone, and more.
  • Spray Knockdown Texture – Although popularly used on pool decks, it can be used on almost any concrete surface that needs more grip or traction. The acrylic concrete coating is loaded into a hopper gun and then sprayed on the old slab. Remember how stucco looks? It is quite similar but with a more subtle texture, created as the splattered material is knocked down with a trowel. This coating is also known for staying cool to the feet even after being exposed to tremendous sunlight for hours.
  • Epoxy Flooring – This is a two-part coating that is often used on garage floors. It yields a seamless floor that is highly resistant to most types of damage. This is, however, more recommended for indoor concrete floors because it could discolor when exposed to UV rays. If you love the look of granite or terrazzo, the addition of multi-colored paint chips can yield the same effects with an epoxy floor coating.
  • Polyurea Polyaspartic – This is a fast-drying material often used in industrial and commercial settings. In residential properties, it can be used on garage or basement floors, and other floors that could use a damage-resistant floor coating. Unlike epoxy, though, it can be used on both indoor and outdoor concrete surfaces.
