Concrete Resurfacing Systems We Use in Burnaby Concrete

The Graniflex System

Also known as Graniflex Flakes or Quartz Broadcast System, is a concrete coating system that offers various decorative options for enhancing the appearance of existing concrete floors. It is a polymer-modified overlay that adheres well to existing concrete and resists damage from salt, chemicals, UV exposure, freeze-thaw conditions, and abrasion. The system can be applied in layers as thin as a credit card or up to several inches thick, providing flexibility in terms of the desired finish. It is suitable for both interior and exterior applications and can be used to restore and protect damaged, pitted, flaking, and stained concrete surfaces.

Decorative Concrete Overlays

On the other hand, are thin color concrete cement-based products that go over existing concrete for repair or decorative reasons. They can be applied as thin as a feather finish up to 3/4″ depending on the desired finish. Decorative overlays can be used to upgrade pool decks, patios, and storefront entryways, and they come in various options such as white or gray cement, self-bonding or dual component, and different textures. The choice of which type to use depends on factors such as the condition of the existing concrete, the desired look, and the ease of application.

Why We Use Concrete Overlay?

Resurfacing your porch and steps with concrete overlays offers several benefits. Concrete overlays can transform an old, worn-out porch into a fresh, attractive space that enhances the overall appearance of your home. They can also improve the safety of your porch and steps by addressing issues such as cracks, uneven surfaces, and slippery conditions.

One of the main advantages of using concrete overlays is their durability. They are resistant to wear and tear, making them a long-lasting solution for your porch and steps. They can also be customized to match the style and color of your home, allowing you to create a cohesive look that complements your property.

Concrete overlays can be applied to both new and existing porches and steps. For example, if your porch is in good condition but lacks curb appeal, a decorative overlay can be used to add color, patterns, or textures that make it more visually appealing. On the other hand, if your porch is in need of repair, an unbonded reinforced concrete overlay can be installed to restore the structural integrity of the surface.

In addition to enhancing the appearance and durability of your porch and steps, concrete overlays are also cost-effective. They are generally less expensive than tearing out and replacing the entire surface, making them a more economical choice for homeowners.

To ensure the best results when resurfacing your porch and steps with concrete overlays, it is essential to properly prepare the surface. This may involve repairing cracks, cleaning the surface, and ensuring the existing concrete is in good condition. It is also important to choose a reputable contractor with experience in concrete overlays to ensure the job is done correctly.
