Overlays
Polymer cement overlay is a combination of cement, various
aggregates and proprietary hybrid polymer resins. The purpose
of adding polymer resins to the cement and aggregate is to
greatly increase the performance characteristics and versatility
of conventional cement and concrete materials.
Unlike
conventional cement and concrete mixes, polymer cement overlays
can be applied as thin as a single grain of sand or up to
several inches thick without fear of delamination or typical
product failure. In addition, polymer cement overlays are
much more resistant to damage from salt, petrochemicals, UV,
harsh weather conditions and traffic wearing.
Polymer
cement overlays were introduced over twenty years ago, intended
for use as a thin surface restoration material for concrete
substrates. With years of successful and permanent applications,
polymer cement overlays were introduced into to architectural
concrete and commercial flooring industry in the early 80s
where its use has become an industry norm. To this day,
polymer cement overlays are used for interior and exterior
applications ranging from:
Concrete
Resurfacing
Designed to restore and protect damaged, pitted, flaking and
stained concrete back to the look of a new concrete surface.
This application can even be "broom finished" if
desired.
Regrading
Offers to ability to effectively repair and level concrete
surfaces that have settled and become unsafe trip hazards.
Regrading from several inches thick down to a feathered edge
is possible.
Stamped
overlays
Similar to conventional stamped concrete, but only ¼"
to ½" thick applied over existing concrete or
wood substrate of any condition and at a fraction of hassle,
cost and application time. The finished look is that of truly
authentic tile, brick, slate, stone, wood plank and more.
Stained
overlays
Quickly becoming the commercial flooring industries most demanded
and specified finish. A thin layer of polymer cement is applied
over existing concrete or wood substrates and chemically stained
with single or multiple translucent colors for a natural looking,
elegant and durable flooring system. Optional patterns are
often installed with cove type strips, similar to those used
in terrazzo flooring.
Splatter
or knockdown
The standard for commercial and residential pool deck finishes.
Polymer cement is applied to the existing concrete substrate
in a moderately textured finish (average of 1/8" thickness)
in various patterns. Often times, the texture is knocked down
with a trowel to slightly modify the appearance and feel of
the finished application.
