Polymer cement overlays consist of a proprietary blend of portland cements, various aggregates and proprietary hybrid polymer resins.

The purpose of adding a hybrid polymer resin to the cement and aggregate is to greatly increase the performance characteristics and versatility of conventional cements, mortars and concrete materials.

Unlike conventional cement and concrete mixes, polymer cement overlays can be applied as thin as a single grain of sand or up to several cm  thick without fear of delamination or typical product failure. In addition, polymer cement overlays are much more resistant to damage from salt, petrochemicals, UV, harsh weather conditions and traffic wearing.

Polymer cement overlays were introduced over twenty years ago, intended for use as a thin surface restoration material for concrete substrates.

With years of successful and permanent applications, polymer cement overlays were introduced into to architectural concrete and commercial flooring industry in the early 80’s where it’s use has become an industry norm.

To this day, polymer cement overlays are used for interior and exterior applications ranging from:

Decorative Concrete Resurfacing:

These applications are the traditional decorative resurfacing designs and textures. Splatter textures applied with an air powered dry wall type hopper gun or slate trowel down finishes create authentic looking slate textures and patterns onto the concrete substrate. Typical applications are commonly applied to commercial and residential pool decks, driveways, patios, public and private sidewalks and more giving the property added beauty, slip resistance and greatly increased durability.

Interior (Residential & Commercial) Custom Seamless Flooring Systems:

These applications include (but are not limited to) variations of the Architectural  Decorative Concrete Resurfacing applications described above.

Commercial grade sealer systems may be required to ensure high traffic wear ability. These applications are widely used in  shopping malls, offices, hotel lobbies, retail stores, medical offices, residential floors and anywhere in place of any other flooring material.

These surfaces can be  integrally coloured and/or stained with the application of ULTRA-STONE™ Antiquing Stain, a safe, non-hazardous and easy to use antiquing type stain used for creating high and low color variations and highlights to concrete overlays.
