Cementitious overlays are a blend of polymers, sand and cement offering unique performance benefits over regular concrete. Overlays can be applied thin; from a feather edge taper, up to several inches. Whereas concrete has a minimum thickness requirement typically an inch due to the large size of aggregate in the material. The blends of polymers and finer aggregates help give overlays a tenacious bond to existing surfaces making it the perfect choice to repair concrete surfaces. The overlays will not de-bond, crumble or break from heavy traffic in the way concrete would when it is used as a patching material. Cementitious overlays also resist mold/mildew, abrasions, and freeze/thaw cycles. This helps prevent further cracking and wearing of your pool decks, patios, and sidewalks.

There are several decorative benefits of cementitious overlays. We can apply various stains and sealers to the overlay or we can create a knockdown texture, troweled smooth or broom finish to enhance your decor. Another choice is color packs that can be added to the cementitious products producing an attractive colored finish.

When sealed, cementitious overlays are easy to clean and low maintenance. They resist stains, dirt and grease. Occasional sweeping, mopping, or hosing down is all that’s required to keep the newly restored surface looking fresh.
