What to consider when choosing a resurfacing
system
When deciding which resurfacing system to
choose, here are a few simple questions you need
to ask in order to find a system that will best
serve your needs.
What is the condition
of the existing surface?
If the concrete has a lot of cracks or gouges or
if the surface is not level then it would be
best if you selected a higher-build material,
such as a self-leveling. A stampable overlay,
which is applied at a 1/4-inch or greater
thickness, would also be good.
If the concrete contains too much moisture then
you should use a permeable overlay system, which
will allow the moisture vapor to escape.

Coating concrete
Before concrete is coated it has to be clean, dry, and free of any dirt, oil, paint,
or any surface defects such as cracks, chips, or spalling. The thick elastic film
of elastomeric coatings permit moisture within the concrete to escape thus prevents
patches, or blistering. These coatings are available in several different textures
as well as a wide variety of colors. Concrete block surfacers are used to enhance
the surface of the concrete by providing a stable, uniform foundation. Another
popular concrete coating is oil-modified urethane, which is easy to handle and has
an excellent leveling characteristic. Concrete coatings help to improve the longevity and strength of the concrete, while
making it an investment that will outlast many other flooring options.
