Hand-Troweled Exterior Concrete Overlay

Cement, sand and polymer come together to make a coating that is skid-resistant, UV-stable, and economical.

These overlays may be integrally colored (oxide pigments in wet cement), stained, or colored with a solid color acrylic topcoat.

Hand-Troweled Interior Concrete Overlay

The look of concrete and the stain resistance of epoxy+urethane for remodeling projects. Our process has been improved over 1000s of floors in the last 15 years to be truly world class. Diamond-polished overlays have real problems, so we no longer install them. Contact us for details regarding what can be done, what we now, and why we do that.

Overlays

These overlays are about 0.4” thick. Texture Skins are urethane mats with the texture of solid rock. We press them into the material before it hardens. Patterns can be saw-cut into the overlay creating something that is novel, familiar, and most of all honest. These overlays are not trying to look like anything other than good decorative concrete work.

Pattern Stamped Concrete Overlays

These overlays are about 0.4” thick. Pattern stamps are urethane mats with the texture of wood planks, cobblestone, etc. We press them into the material before it hardens. These overlays when the durability of concrete is needed with the look of something else. For instance, real wood planks for a lakeside living area would be a lot maintenance

ReFresco

We developed this technique in 2015 to basically paint exterior masonry surfaces with a layer that could be acid stained or otherwise expected to never fade or peel. Contact us for cool case-studies of how we used this process to solve problems.
