Concrete Overlays, Chemical Staining & Concrete Countertops
Apr 15th
Concrete Overlayments –
This is a thin layer of polymer modified cement based material that is applied directly to your existing concrete. This material can be hand troweled smooth, broomed or done in many other light textured finishes. The material can also be stamped to give you a natural stone finish or the effect of tile, bricks, slate, flagstone and more. Once the desired texture is achieved, the material is chemically stained to add color and then sealed to lock in lasting beauty. This process is a cost effective way to improve your concrete without the hassle of tearing out and repouring it.
Chemical Staining –
If your concrete is in good shape, fairly uniform in color and just needs a little something extra to make it look sensational, staining is a good option. Stains are applied directly to your concrete and are translucent in appearance; they can be single or multicolored. Once stained a clear sealer is applied to keep the colors vibrate.
