 Concrete decor |
| Add style and durability to your existing concrete!
Our systems achieve a look, texture and color of any type of stone or
look you desire. We have a wide variety of colors and designs to
choose from. In addition, we can custom produce any color you wish
for a minimal charge. Designs can include logos and specific decorative
patterns tailored to your look and style. |

How is it applied? |
| Our products can be applied over any porous material both vertical
and horizontal. When applied on horizontal surface materials that are subject to
traffic, that surface must be concrete, stone, slate, brick, or pool deck.
In the case of wood, it must be covered with backer board first.
We chemically or mechanically prepare existing concrete to remove dirt, loose
aggregate and open up pores. A base coat is applied to fix any imperfeons in
the original concrete (or similar surface). A design is then laid over it and a
second textured layer is applied. A final non-porous clear coat is put over the
system that protects and maintains the finish, making it very easy to maintain.
When the surface dries, the original surface and the product bond forms one
integrated surface that is stronger and longer lasting. In hours it can be
walked on. In seven days a car can drive on it. It is thoroughly rigid and
hardened after 28 days. |

How long does it last? |
| The Artistic Concrete system should not show wear providing the
sealer is replaced as wear occurs. Under most conditions, we estimate
this should not occur any sooner than 3 years under normal conditions.
As long as the sealer is in good condition and undamaged, any wear will be
absorbed by this protective coating.
If the concrete is properly maintained, the concrete system will virtually
last a lifetime. |

|
Does it take special cleaners? |
| No. Once the skim coat is troweled on and the colored
decorative coat is applied, the surface is sealed with sealer.
This sealer is non-porous and UV protective. Usually, normal washing
with a hose is all that is needed. Mold, mildew, motor oil, etc. can
be hosed off, while regular laundry or dishwashing detergent can be used
to remove tough or repetitive stains. Beautiful, durable and easy to maintain!
