Overlays
Polymer cement overlay is a combination of cement, various aggregates and proprietary hybrid polymer resins. The purpose of adding polymer resin to cement and aggregate is to greatly increase the performance characteristics and versatility of conventional cement and concrete materials.
Unlike conventional cement and concrete mixes, polymer cement overlay applied as thin as a single grain of sand or up to several inches thick without fear of delamination typical product failure. In addition, polymer cement overlays are much more resistant to damage from salt, petrochemicals, UV, harsh weather conditions and traffic wearing.
Concrete overlays were introduced over twenty years ago, intended for use as a thin surface restoration material for concrete substrates. With years of successful and permanent applications, concrete overlays were introduced into the architectural concrete and commercial flooring industry in the early 80's where it' use has become the norm. To this day, concrete overlays are used for interior and exterior applications ranging from:
Concrete Resurfacing
Designed to restore and protect damaged, pitted, flaking concrete and
colored or stained to the look of a new concrete surface. This
application can even be broom finished if desired.
Re-grading
Offers the ability to effectively repair and level concrete surfaces
that have settled and become unsafe trip hazards. Re-grading from
several inches thick down to a feathered edge is possible.
Stamped Overlays
Similar to conventional stamped concrete, but only ¼" to ½" thick
applied over existing concrete. The finished look is that of truly
authentic tile, brick, slate, flagstone, wood plank and more.
Stained Overlays
Quickly becoming the commercial flooring industries most demanded and
specified finish. A thin layer of polymer cement is applied over
existing concrete and chemically stained with a single or multiple
translucent colors for a natural looking, elegant and durable flooring
system.
Splatter or Knockdown
The standard for commercial and residential pool deck finishes.
Concrete overlay 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.
