Our concrete coating is a mixture of two different grades of powdered marble, white Portland cement, a latex polymer, and pure liquid pigment for color. The polymer is what allows us to apply the material so thin and bond permanently with the top layer of concrete.
We mainly apply our concrete coatings using hand trowels. The top layer we add texture with the trowel and add color quartz to give the surface a multiple color look. Our coating can also be sprayed using a hopper gun for vertical surfaces or areas that need extreme non-skid texture.
Concrete coatings average between $7 and $10 per square foot. The price depends on the amount of square feet we are coating. If there is going to be a patterned applied and the amount of prep work are also factors that determine pricing.
Depending on the size of the project, one week is usually suitable to complete a job. It is a layer system that each layer needs to dry before applying the next.
Our coating has the same coefficient of expansion and contraction of the concrete, meaning it will freeze and thaw with the concrete underneath. The coating is bonded permantely to the concrete regardless of weather.
We apply coatings nearly year around. We avoid freezing temperatures.
Interior coatings can be mopped and vacuumed like any hard surface flooring. The only cleaning products to avoid are solvent based. Exterior coatings are usually hosed off or pressure washed with up to 3000psi of water pressure. Sometimes a soft bristle brush is required for stubborn stains.
Cracks are coated with our concrete coating which binds the concrete back together. Any further movement in the underlying crack can create a hairline crack in the coating. The only solution for reoccurring cracks is foundational support.
Yes, concrete overlay and polymer modified cement are synonymous with concrete coatings.
No, stamping is leaving a decorative impression in wet concrete. Coating concrete is resurfacing existing concrete while making it decorative at the same time.
After the second coat has dried, we can apply filament tape in a variety of different patterns including tile, herringbone, and ashlar slate. Once the top coat is dry, we pull the tape up to reveal the pattern.
We use a variety of acrylic, epoxy, and polyaspartic sealers to seal our coatings.
