Concrete Resurfacing and Decorative Concrete Overlays

Why Use Concrete Resurfacing? If your existing concrete is worn and aged, it can be resurfaced with a concrete overlay or coating. Concrete overlays have improved strength, adhesion and flexibility over conventional concrete. Decorative concrete can be used both indoors and outdoors and is ideal for commercial and residential applications. Decorative Concrete Overlay is . . . Stronger than regular concrete Cooler than normal pool decking Stain resistant UV fade resistant.

What are Concrete Overlays? Custom Concrete can apply decorative concrete overlays to your existing surfaces including countertops, backsplashes, bbq's, fire pits, fireplaces, fountains, swimming pool decks, garages, patios, floors, walls and much more. Concrete overlays are a thin cement overlay that replicates natural stone colors and textures. Achieve the same look and feel with many patterns including; flagstone, marble, slate, brick, tile, natural stone, Terrazzo, Saltillo tile and more. Unlimited color options, matte or glossy finishes, and smooth, textured or non-slip surfaces are available.

Types of Overlays Grout-less overlay These decorative overlays are applied by a trowel or squeegee in very thin layers. They can go on silky smooth and taken down to a feather edge. Or you can apply several coats to create a textured broomed or troweled finish.

Masked overlays Although stamps or stencils are available for standard patterns, another way of creating a pattern is with nylon fiber tape. Stamps and stencils use a set pattern that is repeated over and over. Using Nylon fiber tape to hand mask off the pattern assures that every shape and each design is unique and custom. Any pattern or design such as natural stone, brick, slate, flagstone or wood planking is possible. Once the pattern has been laid out, a concrete overlay is applied and left to dry. Once the overlay has dried, the tape is then pulled off of the surface revealing the grout pattern.

Lace The base coat is smooth, but the topcoat of the lace pattern is a textured surface, which is initially sprayed on from a hand-held hopper. But, they can also be applied as a splatter coat to create a textured, slip-resistant surface or "knocked down" with a trowel to create a smoother finish. These overlays are usually used for resurfacing swimming pool decking. It is cooler than most natural surfaces and also offers the added bonus of providing safe skid resistance.

Epoxy floor coatings can be used for the garage, showroom, office, hangar, laundry room, basement, shop, and kennel.
