Decorative Concrete Overlays
Decorative concrete overlays are a great option for a homeowner to consider. Extreme temperature swings and heavy snow and ice conditions beat-up concrete surfaces in cold freeze/thaw climates over the course of time – in large part due to the harsh extreme temperature swings that take their toll on them. Tradition has been to tear them out and redo them again with new concrete. Removing and replacing concrete is a pretty invasive procedure – not to mention the costs that are associated with tear-out and replacement. Concrete resurfacing is a great option for the homeowner to consider.
Concrete Design Systems has an alternative approach to this “Traditional” method of replacing old worn-out concrete. We have this saying here at CDS that goes like this; “Don’t Replace It – Resurface It!”. So that’s what we try to promote to the public as an ‘Option’, as opposed to going to the trouble of removing and replacing it. If Concrete Design Systems could show you that you could Resurface your concrete for half the cost of tearing it out and replacing it, would that get your attention? I know that I would be interested to know more if I thought that I could save 50% to accomplish the same thing.
The beauty in the concrete resurfacing process is that it has been tried and proven now in this extreme climate for 40 years! So the proof is the performance over the test of time. Some of the great benefits are that the ‘Overlayment’ resurfacing product does not create an elevation variance that causes transitional concerns such as walking from your driveway to your garage, sidewalk, patio, or steps does not reflect any shift in height that would cause any ‘trip hazards’. More advantages still are that the surface texture is comparable to new broom-finished concrete, making it “non-slip” when wet or with snow covering the surface. And yet another perk to having your concrete resurfaced is that the polymeric additive in the product gives the finish resilience to the ‘Freeze-Thaw’ cycles. Meaning that removing snow is made much easier and the freezing of moisture is not so prone to attaching itself to the newly applied resurfacer.
There’s more. There are colors and designs that can be done as well. This means that if your concrete has been colored and stamped with a pattern in it, Concrete Design Systems’ resurfacer and overlay can be made to match! Yes…that translates into the options for a complete overhaul and remodeling of your existing concrete that can be customized and designed just to fit your taste! It’s pretty impressive how this process can look very authentic to the real thing. The resurfacer can be made to look like Rock, Stone, Brick, Pavers, or anything else you want to be created. It’s a very versatile product and provides a great new look to your hardscape in your yard.
