Concrete Overlays

"concrete overlays are not only a solution for surface problems,
but can be used to achieve any look you can imagine"

Concrete overlays can provide a solution for several problems with your home's concrete surfaces. If there are areas where the surface has scaled and chipped away, then try mixing up some overlay topping and smoothing it over the damaged spots. Perhaps you have a floor with minor humps and valleys that need to be leveled. There are specially designed products that can be poured onto the floor to fill in the low spots with little or no spreading by hand.

Or maybe you would like to turn your dull concrete into a decorative surface without having to pay to rip it out and replace with new.

Most concrete overlays are polymer modified which means they contain polymer resins along with cement and aggregates. The polymer resins increase the strength, performance, and durability of overlays. They can be applied as thin as 1/16 inch up to several inches.

Overlays have become more common as the products have improved. They can be used to make a surface look new again, level uneven surfaces, and for splatter and knockdown finishes.

The problem with overlays is that, for the most part, these are not do-it-yourself projects. Unless you're doing minor floor repairs that will eventually be covered with some other flooring, I don't recommend trying this yourself. Not only does it require some experience, but you probably won't have access to most of the tools needed.

The types of concrete overlays include:
