Concrete Floor Resurfacing: An Effective Solution for Enhancing Structural Integrity

Resurfacing concrete can provide a strong foundation for a variety of surfaces, including floors, patios, driveways, and walkways. This process involves the application of a new concrete layer over the existing concrete, which helps to fill in cracks and other damage that may have occurred over time.

Resurfaced concrete also helps to prevent water and other liquids from seeping into the home, thus protecting the foundation and other structural elements from water damage. Additionally, resurfacing provides a fresh, new look for the home, which can help to boost its curb appeal.

Our Process

This process is similar across applications: for commercial, industrial and residential concrete resurfacing.

1. Checking and Cleaning: We start by looking closely at the concrete to find any big problems, like large cracks or weak spots. These need fixing first. Then, we clean the area well, often using a pressure washer, to get rid of dirt and old coatings.
2. Fixing Cracks and Damage: Next, we take care of any cracks or holes, filling them in so the surface is smooth. This step is important to make sure the new layer goes on nicely.
3. Getting the Surface Ready: After fixing, we might roughen up the surface a bit. This helps the new layer stick better, especially on smooth or sealed concrete.
4. Priming: Sometimes, we use a primer to help the new layer bond with the old concrete. Whether we need to do this depends on the materials.
5. Mixing the New Layer: We follow the instructions to mix up the new concrete layer. It usually comes as a powder that we mix with water.
6. Applying the Mix: We put the mix on the prepared surface. How we do this can change depending on what look we’re going for. It can be smoothed, sprayed for texture, or stamped to look like brick or stone.
7. Adding Details: If we want to add colours or patterns, we do it while the mix is still wet. We have to work fast to make sure it looks right.
8. Letting It Dry: The new surface needs to dry and harden. This usually means waiting a day before walking on it and longer for heavy stuff or cars. Sometimes, we keep it moist depending on the material’s requirements, to help it dry evenly and get really strong.
9. Sealing: Finally, we can seal the surface to protect it from stains and weather, which keeps it looking good for longer.

Benefits of Concrete Resurfacing

Here are the key benefits of concrete resurfacing made simple:

• Saves Money: Concrete resurfacing is cheaper than removing and replacing old concrete. It gives a new look at a lower cost, saving you money.
• Looks Great: You can choose from many colours, patterns, and textures. This means you can make your space look nicer, like having expensive brick, stone, or wood, without spending a lot.
• Very Strong: The new surface is tough and can handle a lot of use, bad weather, and other challenges. This means your concrete will last longer.
• Easy to Take Care Of: This new surface is easy to clean and doesn’t need much work to keep looking good, saving you time and money down the line. Plus, it’s made to resist stains and fading.
• Quick to Install: Putting in a new surface takes less time than replacing the whole concrete. This means you get a new look faster without much hassle.
• Raises Home Value: A nicer and stronger surface can make your home worth more. It’s a smart choice that can make your property more attractive to buyers or renters.
• Safer: Fixing cracked or uneven concrete reduces the risk of trips and falls. So, it’s not just about looks; it’s also about making your place safer for everyone.
• Good for the Environment: Since you’re covering the old surface instead of throwing it away, you’re being kinder to the environment. It’s a smart way to update without adding to the landfill.

In short, concrete resurfacing is a budget-friendly, durable, and attractive way to upgrade your concrete areas, adding value and safety to your property while being eco-friendly.
