Choices for resurfacing old concrete

concrete resurfacing surrey

Concrete has been chosen for decades to create driveways, entryways, walkways, pool decks, floors and patios. It’s versatile, durable and long-lasting. Eventually it may begin to show the dreaded signs of wear such as cracking, crumbling or spalling, where water causes the surface to peel or flake. All is not lost, however. Before you think of replacing your worn concrete slabs - an expensive endeavour! - consider having them resurfaced.

There are many exciting ways to resurface concrete now and the whole process is quicker and cheaper than having new slabs poured. Resurfacing gives you the opportunity to renew and update your concrete to modern aesthetics with choices that weren’t available before. Advancements in concrete tools, concrete stains and dyes, textures, and patterns have made concrete the most versatile, durable and cost-effective material on the market.

Initially, your old concrete surface will be cleaned of dirt and loose material. Cracks and holes will be repaired and the surface primed for any of the following choices:

Stamping. Natural and beautiful textures such as granite, slate, stone, and brick are replicated with incredible realism. Stamped concrete has been a staple for hotels and resorts for years.

Exposed Aggregate. Exposes the true beauty of concrete by removing the top layer of the cement paste, revealing the natural stone beneath. This provides a slip-free pebbled look that can vary in colour and pattern. The most popular decorative aggregates are richly coloured natural stones varying in tone from light to dark, and in size from small to medium pebbles.

Overlays. Overlays add a thin layer of texture to an existing concrete floor or subfloor allowing the creation of a large variety of new textures, colours and designs. Overlays are quick to install, long-lasting and durable. They also improve skid-resistance and are recyclable.
