WHAT IS IT AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Concrete Resurfacing” or a “Concrete Overlay”, is a very durable, versatile and hard-wearing product used to resurface concrete for both interior and exterior applications. It is made up of high strength cement, selected sands and top quality polymer resins and is a permanent surface. Unlike other topical coatings which can flake and wear off in a short space of time.
There are many brands on the market under different labels, but they all do pretty much the same thing. At OSM Concrete we are experienced in most of the brands available.
With Concrete Resurfacing, the design possibilities are HUGE.
INCREDIBLY VERSATILE
As the products are applied as a liquid, we can manipulate them to mimic a lot of other traditional and higher-end finishes. Architects and designers are now turning their attention to concrete resurfacing as an alternative to surfaces such as segmental paving, natural stone, exposed aggregate, tiles, other decorative concrete finishes... even timber!
With an array of vivid colour options designed by the suppliers to match what is used with other product lines such as roofing, garage doors, aluminium and paint finishes, you can design your concrete to really blend with what you have already used on your project.
CAN CRACKS BE FIXED???
YES AND NO... IT'S A BIT COMPLICATED
Cracks in concrete can be caused by many reasons including:-
Lack of expansion joints installed at the time of placing
Ground settlement and movement from underneath the slab. This could be from numerous causes including:-
-
Tree roots
-
Broken pipes
-
Tremors from traffic
-
Drying shrinkage
-
Thermal expansion / contraction
-
Lack of reinforcement
-
Inadequate concrete strength
When concrete cracks structurally, it is essentially broken in two along the crack.
Once it has opened, there is no cost-effective or full-proof system that has been developed that can join and hold slabs together.
HUGE DESIGN OPTIONS
Resurfacing products can be coloured and manipulated when applied to create some amazing textures and designs.
They are used widely in commercial settings, theme parks and are a favourite of architects as the design possibilities really are endless.
If you have a special design or even a unique colour you need to be matched, we can create it for you and even colour matched to your needs.
If you can provide us with some photos of the area you wish to resurface, we can tell you what to expect from your new resurfaced concrete.
Sometimes it is a matter of replacing parts of the concrete that are heavily damaged, replacing these parts with new concrete and then resurfacing the old and the new.
