QUESTIONS
WHAT IS A DECORATIVE CONCRETE OVERLAY?
A Decorative Concrete Overlay is a polymer modified cementitious material which contains proprietary additives that enable the product to be thinly applied over existing concrete surfaces. The additives give the overlay the ability to withstand high humidity, UV radiation and freeze/thaw cycles without deteriorating.The product will mechanically and chemically bond with the concrete assuring that the overlay will not delaminate.A decorative concrete overlay can be applied in many different textures in a wide array of colors. It can also be applied overtop of painted or previously coated or textured surfaces including tile and chattahochee.
HOW THICK IS IT?
Depending on what system is being used anywhere from 3/32" to 3/8"inch thick.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DO A JOB?
An average job will take 2 days. Larger, more complex jobs may take longer. Clean foot traffic is usually allowed on the same day.
WHAT ABOUT THE CRACKS IN MY EXISTING CONCRETE SLAB?
Many cracks are repairable as long as the basic structure of the concrete is sound.Cracks are ground out with a cup grinder to produce a "V".A two-part concrete grout with mesh is then introduced into the crack and will re-bond the crack, though we do everything possible to treat and do eliminate 90% of them we cannot guarantee that our crack repairs will completely hide the crack,but cracks that do reflect through are usually a fraction of the width and much less noticeable than before. If the cracks are extream, we can use them in part of the design or pattern.
WHAT TYPE OF WARRANTY DO YOU OFFER?
