Polymer Overlay

A Polymer Cement Overlay is a polymer modified cementitious mix that is used to repair and beautify existing, deteriorated concrete surfaces.  Unlike other types of concrete repair systems that often create a worse looking repair than the original problem, Polymer Cement Overlays beautify the concrete while providing an extremely durable repair.

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 80’s where it’s use has become an industry norm. To this day, polymer cement overlays are used for interior and exterior applications
Through the use of dyes, stains and integral colors the color palette is infinite for Polymer Cement Overlays.  This is a very versatile, cost effective system when compared to the costs associated with demolition, removal and replacement of concrete surfaces.

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.

On what types of projects can I use Polymer Cement Overlays?

Any existing concrete surface that is pitted, scaled or other wise aesthetically ugly .  Interior or exterior environments.  Horizontally or vertically.  The only requirement is that the existing concrete is structurally sound.

How do you apply Polymer Cement Overlays?

Every successful Polymer Cement Overlay begins with a properly prepared concrete substrate.  This means that at a minimum, the existing deteriorated concrete surface is degreased and acid etched.  If there are other coatings on the concrete such as carpet glue, tile grout, paint, etc., these need to be mechanically removed from the concrete surface.  This will ensure a tenacious mechanical/chemical bond of the Polymer Cement Overlay to the concrete substrate.
