There are different types of concrete mix products available on the market. Our concrete resurfacer that contains epoxy resin, on the other hand, is put in a very thin layer, unlike most normal concrete mixes. Concrete resurfacer is often made up of a mix of regular cement, polymer modifiers, fine sands, and other specific binding agents.

The epoxy coating is sprayed on top of the existing concrete in a thin layer. Typically, the layer is around  1/2 inches thick. Before using the resurfaced area, we recommend waiting at least 24 hours.

Furthermore, the concrete resurfacing is exceptionally durable, with a compressive strength of 4,500 pounds per square inch. This is really more durable than the concrete slab itself. Concrete resurfacing, when placed correctly, may be highly robust and long-lasting with proper use and maintenance.

A thin cement-based overlay is blended with particular bonding agents for concrete resurfacing. This helps you fix the concrete slab without having to replace it.

A concrete resurfacing is more economical since the concrete slab is repaired and only a thin layer of fresh material is used. Charges may increase based on the amount of concrete repair required, the level of customization or alteration desired, and the width or length of the driveway. 

Nonetheless, it is less expensive than real stone, brick, or pavers. Before proceeding, it is strongly advised that you obtain a quote from a potential concrete contractor.

How To Resurface Concrete: Step By Step Guide

Concrete Surface Prep

Surface preparation includes removing any coatings or impurities from the concrete slab, as well as leveling and profiling it so the overlay may adhere to it. Surface preparation is the most important stage in ensuring a successful decorative concrete overlay on damaged concrete floors.

The diamond grinding procedure aids in the restoration of your floor’s smoothness. After the machine is turned on, we use a side-by-side swaying motion to smooth out the whole surface of your floor. Vacuum thoroughly to get rid of any leftover access residue. This is how we prepare your floor for concrete resurfacing.

Apply Moisture barrier Coat 

We apply a moisture barrier coat directly to the concrete surface because it prevents water or water vapor from entering the concrete surface from the outside. A moisture barrier stops water vapor from moving through the surface, protecting it against water damage that might occur if moisture is allowed to enter.

Choice of base coat 

Then in the next step, we apply the base coat as per the customer’s choice. We have various options for the base coat. We have pigmented poly aspartic(various solid colors and metallic colors for choice) or you can also choose various flakes or quartz designs. You can choose the design you love and we can proceed with the layering.

Applying Sealant and Curing

After the base coat is applied, a sealant is applied on the top, and then it is left to cure. Avoid using vehicles on the surface for at least 48-72 hours after applying. After it has properly cured, you get yourself a beautiful resurfaced concrete floor.
