Q. What are decorative concrete coatings?
Decorative concrete coating is a polymer-modified cement. It is a concrete like product that has polymers and proprietary additives added that enable this product to be overlaid or spread over concrete. The additives, give the decorative concrete the ability to withstand high humidity and dampness, UV radiation, and freeze/thaw cycles without deteriorating. The product will mechanically bond and chemically bond with concrete. This assures that the product, once applied, will not delaminate. This product can be textured or smoothed to resemble almost any product like: Ashler slate, Flagstone, and Tile in any color imaginable.

Q. Where have decorative concrete flooring systems been installed?
These flooring systems have been installed in: casinos, shopping malls, offices, hotel lobbies, retail stores, residential homes, and anywhere in place of conventional tile, terrazzo, quarry, etc. This product does exceptionally well in high wear areas.

Q. I have a concrete surface that has started to shale can this be corrected?
In many cases the answer is YES, if there are no structural issues that need to be corrected.
 
Q. Is indoor concrete flooring difficult to maintain?
No, this flooring is no more difficult for the homeowner to maintain than a hardwood floor. It can be cleaned with any floor-cleaning product like Mop & Glo.
 
 
Q. How resistant are decorative surfaces to stains and spills like oil or grease?
Once the surface is sealed, depending upon the type of sealant used, the surface can be impervious to many chemicals including: salt, petrochemicals, and UV radiation. This makes decorative concrete flooring an excellent choice for driveways and garage floors.
 

Q. If I happen to damage a decorative surface how difficult is it fix?
Repairing decorative surfaces is easy; the only difficult part is matching the color. Damaging a decorative concrete overlay surface is tough because it can withstand 5,000 pounds per square inch of compressive strength. In many cases, the surface damage will be to the sealer and not to the polymer concrete.
 
 
Q. How long does it take to install a decorative concrete floor?
The typical installation is 2 to 4 days. The floor is safe for heavy traffic by day 5 after the sealer has been applied.
