Home » Decorative Concrete

Prior to being resinous flooring contractors we specialized in the different forms of decorative concrete. With our background in concrete we are able to serve customer with options in many different categories. We can use decorative concrete products and techniques to transform your bare concrete into an attractive and appealing surface in any environment.

 

Stamped Concrete

For new concrete pours or 2” cap toppings we pour and stamp your new concrete to look like stone, brick, tile, wood planks, or solid surface. Using integral color, colored release, decorative stamps, and sealers we provide a patterned and sealed decorative surface. The different patterns and colors allow customers to customize a design that fits their individual wants. If you are interested in upgrading your plain concrete to stamped, contact us so we can help you get your desired look installed.

Stamped Overlay

For concrete that is sound and doesn’t need replacing we can offer a stamped look without the cost of replacing the concrete by using concrete polymer overlays. The overlay is integral colored like concrete and secondary colors are added to stamped surface to resemble ideal pattern. The concrete will be prepped, cleaned, and then coated with the overlay bond coat. Once the bond coat has been applied the overlay material will be mixed on site and applied with gauge rakes. After the material has been laid out with gauge rake it is spiked rolled to release entrapped air and allowed to self-level and left to slightly harden for stamping process. Once the material has reached proper hardness liquid release is applied to the decorative stamping mats and the surface is stamped leaving the desired impressions into the surface. After the material has cured it is cleaned, secondary color added for antique look and sealed. If you are wanting to spruce up your old bare concrete surface call us to see your options.

Texture Spray

For concrete that is sound and doesn’t need replacing but needs a facelift or more decorative finish we can provide texture spray solutions. Commonly used for pool decks, outdoor entrances, walk ways, and patios. Texture spray consist of concrete polymers and integral colors along with clear or colored sealers to provide a new surface to your concrete. The concrete is prepped & cleaned, a bond coat is applied, then the spray material is mixed onsite and sprayed with a texture sprayer. The texture spray can be applied using different methods. One method is spray and knock down with solid color stain to provide a stucco like finish. It can also be installed using stencils to provide a look of stone, brick, or tile look. When installed with a stencil a base spray is applied and allowed to dry, once dry the stencil is set in place and a colored secondary spray is applied. Once the second spray is dried the stencil is removed leaving behind the desired pattern with the base coat appearing as grout lines. After being cleaned it is sealed with clear sealers highlighting the pattern and colors. Let us help you finalize a design and plan to enhance your concrete.

Stained & Sealed

Concrete Staining is one of the most economical solutions for achieving a decorative finish on a concrete surface. Once the surface has been cleaned and any contaminants or debris have been removed the surface can be stained. This may be a simple cleaning of new concrete or require grinding or mastic removal of old previously covered or sealed surface. With a wide variety of color choices a customer can pick one or a combination of color to incorporate in their new finish, as well as including simple designs, stencils, logos, or intricate borders and patterns. Once the surface is ready a special sprayer is used to apply the acetone or acid dye which penetrates deep into the surface providing rich vibrant color. The unique look of stain is how the concrete reacts and absorbs the color differently throughout the surface providing a mottled design. For outdoor applications the use of acid stains is used due to the UV stability. Acetone dyes are used for covered or indoor areas. After the acetone has evaporated or Acid Dried and it is neutralized the floor is sealed to lock in, protect, and enhance the color. Sealer options include solvent or water based Acrylic sealers or penetrating lithium silicate concrete sealers each having different benefits and gloss levels. Sealers can also be upgraded to resinous products as described in the epoxy/urethane page. Another option for staining is to use a solid color concrete sealer which seals the surface while turning it a solid color.
