Concrete overlays take plain, old concrete slabs from drab to fab. 

What is a Concrete Overlay?

Is a cement-based polymer product that is overlayed on existing concrete. Concrete overlays can give almost any concrete surface, indoors or out, a complete face-lift and at a much lower cost than removal and replacement. An overlay can cover over imperfections and transform existing concrete into a unique custom floor. Today the biggest challenge is deciding on which decorative finish you would like as there are multiple options available for achieving any look imaginable.

Benefits

Advantages over all flooring products:

  • Unlimited colors
  • Unlimited patterns
  • Unlimited designs
  • Unlimited textures

Advantages over tile:

  • Harder and stronger than conventional tile. So strong that you can drive a forklift on our flooring systems.
  • Even if you choose to have grout lines, ours do not stain and discolor like that with tile.
  • Typical installations are installed much faster than tile.

Advantages over wood flooring:

  • Much harder than wood flooring.
  • Much higher level of scratch resistance.
  • Is not damaged by water or food spills.

Advantages over VCT:

  • Other than price, everything about our flooring systems are better and we can even offer cost competitive alternatives to VCT.

Advantages over carpeting:
