Concrete Overlay
concrete overlay:
What exactly is a concrete overlay, and what do they look like?
A concrete overlay goes over existing concrete surfaces to repair or enhance the look of boring grey concrete. The application varies greatly depending on the kind of texture that you want. A concrete overlay can be sprayed down, troweled down, stamped, or even squeegee down for a glass smooth finish. Patterns are achieved by using different sizes of strapping tape, or stencils. With stencils and strapping tape you can get your concrete overlay to look like cobble stone, brick, flagstone. or any size of tile you could image plus many other patterns. Typically the thickness of a concrete overlay can vary depending on what type you choose. A concrete overlay can be anywhere from 1/16th of an in to ½ of an in.
