Decorative Concrete
Decorative concrete covers stamped, stained, dyed, polished, and overlaid surfaces that go beyond plain gray slabs.
Concrete itself and substrate conditions
Decorative concrete covers stamped, stained, dyed, polished, and overlaid surfaces that go beyond plain gray slabs.
Concrete dye is a penetrating color made with small pigments carried in acetone, alcohol, or water.
Concrete resurfacing is the process of applying a thin cementitious or polymer layer over worn or damaged concrete to restore the surface and give it a new look.
Stamped concrete is concrete that is pressed with patterned mats while it is still fresh to imitate stone, brick, tile, or wood, and is then colored and sealed.
Concrete crack repair is the process of fixing cracks in a slab so they do not spread or show through a new coating.
Floor flatness is a measure of how smooth and even a concrete slab is, often given as an FF number.
Microtopping is a thin cementitious overlay applied over existing concrete to create a smooth, decorative new wear surface without a full slab tear-out.
Joint filler is a semi-rigid epoxy or polyurea material used to fill saw cuts and control joints in a slab before a coating goes down, for a smooth, continuous surface.
Epoxy crack injection forces low-viscosity epoxy resin into a concrete crack under pressure to bond it back together and restore strength.
Freeze-thaw resistance is a concrete or coating’s ability to withstand repeated cycles of freezing and thawing without cracking, scaling, or losing adhesion.
