Exterior-Interior Hardscapes / Decorative Polymer Concrete Overlays
Originally engineered and designed as surface restoration solution to structurally sound, yet surface deteriorated concrete. But over the
last 20 years they have evolved into much more useful, as well as aesthetically pleasing applications that homeowners, business owners, designers and architects demand.
Transform your existing concrete into beautiful finishes that are not only very appealing but actually stronger and more resistant to salt, freeze/thaw and even traffic wear.
When to Use a Polymer Overlay
Polymer Concrete Overlays are an alternative to breaking out and replacing an existing concrete slab, which can be expensive, messy, disruptive, and time-consuming. With an overlay, you can give worn, lackluster concrete a decorative makeover or restore it to like-new condition in as little as a day and at a fraction of the cost.
Polymer cement overlays consist of a proprietary blend of portland cements,20 various aggregates and proprietary hybrid
polymer resins. Unlike conventional cement and concrete mixes, polymer cement overlays can be applied as thin as a single grain of sand
or up to several inches thick without fear of delamination or typical product failure.
Polymer-modified overlays are ideal for:
- Adding pattern, texture, and color to exterior concrete slabs, including patios, pool decks, driveways, and sidewalks. Using special techniques and tools, we can precisely replicate the look and feel of natural stone, brick, tile, or slate.
- Resurfacing interior floors, including those previously covered with linoleum tile or carpeting (after removal of all residual mastic). With the use of stains or dyes, it's possible to create colorful graphic designs, logos, or stenciled patterns.
- Smoothing and leveling uneven or spalled concrete surfaces.
- Restoring surfaces quickly with minimal downtime. Polymer overlays cure fast and some systems can support foot traffic within a few hours.
These finishes include, but are not limited to, the look and feel of authentic stone, slate, tile, brick, marble, wood and granite and can be customized to match or enhance any design or theme you can imagine. Unlimited amounts of colors, textures patterns and DEIGNS.
?Skim Coat/Broom Finish Concrete Resurfacing ?Designed to restore and protect damaged, pitted, flaking and stained concrete back to the look of a new concrete surface. This application can even be “broom finished?if desired.
?Concrete Regrading & Leveling ?Offers the ability to effectively repair and level concrete surfaces that have settled and become unsafe trip hazards. Regrading from several inches thick down to a feathered edge is possible.
?Thin Stamped Overlays ?Similar to conventional stamped concrete, but only 1/4" to 1/2?thick applied over existing concrete or wood substrate of any condition and at a fraction of hassle, cost and application time. The finished look is that of truly authentic tile, brick, slate, stone, wood plank and more.
?Thin Stained Overlays ?Quickly becoming the commercial flooring industries most demanded and specified finish. A thin layer of polymer cement is applied over existing concrete or wood substrates and chemically stained with single or multiple translucent colors for a natural looking, elegant and durable flooring system. Optional patterns are often installed with cove type strips, similar to those used in terrazzo flooring.
?Splatter Textures, Knockdowns & Slate Trowel Finishes ?The standard for commercial and residential pool decks, patio's, sidewalks driveways and more. Polymer cement is applied to the existing concrete substrate in a moderately textured finish (average of 1/8?thickness) in various patterns. Often times, the texture is knocked down with a trowel to slightly modify the appearance and feel of the finished application.
