Why resurface your porch & steps with Concrete Overlays?
Concrete overlays (often referred to as Jewelstone) cover up repairs and imperfections in your existing concrete. With a variety of decorative options, almost any concrete surface can be given a complete face-lift at a lower cost than removal and replacement. Concrete overlays have been around for decades. The newest systems blend polymer resins with cement, sand, and other additives to improve performance, wear resistance, and aesthetic qualities. Polymer-modified overlays can be applied in layers as thin as a credit card or up to several inches thick without the risk of peeling or failure. They adhere well to existing concrete and resist damage from salt, chemicals, UV exposure, freeze-thaw conditions, and abrasion. While most types of polymer-modified overlays offer similar performance benefits, each system has its own unique characteristics. Overlay manufacturers use different types of polymer resins, often blending them to produce proprietary products with distinct physical attributes. Many of today’s decorative overlays use acrylics or acrylic blends because these resins provide excellent bond strength and UV resistance.
