Spray-on concrete is a conversion coating that provides the appearance of polished, coloured cement surface.
Spray-on concrete creates decorative effects as well as protecting porous substrates from water and stains. It increases the life expectancy of any surface it is applied to without changing the chemical composition or altering existing physical properties.
The polymers used in spray-on concrete are specifically designed to be flexible and crack resistant so they can expand, contract and move with a substrate while still providing a protective barrier against dirt, grime and oily substances. This allows for daily cleaning without loss of colour or lustre. No matter how much traffic an area gets there will never be any need to re-coat because the polymer will retain its original sheen.
Our product can also be applied to interior walls, creating a smooth surface or concrete resurfacing that is washable and without dust or grit. because our product interacts with the substrate it transforms any ordinary brick, concrete or stucco wall into a decorative work of art.
The process begins in much the same way as standard painting procedures in two methods. The spray-on concrete is in powder form and needs to be mixed in water for 30-45 minutes before being applied using paint application equipment. The product is then sprayed on in thin coats to give it a smooth, even surface, stamped concrete or concrete resurfacing. each layer must be allowed to dry completely before the next one can be applied.
It will cover up existing flaws that couldn't be fixed using traditional methods while creating an attractive, flawless finish that is resistant to most types of damage.
It's incredibly flexible and can adapt to any substrate without the worry of peeling or flaking. It also provides a barrier against stains and moisture penetration making it ideal for bathrooms, kitchens and other areas where water could otherwise cause damage. Once covered with the cement based polymer, porous substrates such as brick or concrete become waterproof and maintenance-free.No matter which method you use, the spray-on concrete powder is mixed with water and applied using a standard paint application gun. Each layer must be allowed to dry completely or else it will stick to itself and create lumps. Once applied, the product creates a strong bond with the substrate and cannot be removed without destroying it entirely. The finished surface can also receive a regular base coat of paint or other decorative elements such as wallpaper or vinyl decals, though the last step should always be an application of clear sealant to protect against spills and stains that usually penetrate porous substrates or even low permeability such as brick and concrete area. The polymer doesn't add any strength on its own but bonds tightly with binders added in previous layers so that they all take equal amounts of stress and the product itself never fails. Each application is designed to work with a certain number of layers so our product can be used on exterior walls as well as interior ones without requiring any additional steps or materials.
Spray-on concrete is a maintenance-free alternative to traditional paint and wallpaper, though any additional layers can be applied with regular decorating materials for decorative climbing walls, swimming pools and pool surrounds, patios and commercial projects with high compressive strength. Each layer typically dries within the hour so painting over it can occur as soon as 12 hours later. Because the application doesn't require special techniques or equipment, spray-on concrete is open to anyone with good DIY skills. It can be applied by individuals seeking an easy way to spruce up their homes without the cost of professional assistance or those seeking a permanent solution for unsealed surfaces that are difficult to maintain using more conventional methods. Spray-on concrete provides protection against most types of damage including stains, grime, humidity and general wear and tear. Because it adheres tightly to porous substrates, it creates a waterproof barrier that's resistant to mould, mildew and common household spills. The wet process of applying our product begins with standard painting procedures but continues atypically because after the first layer is applied, the next one must be allowed to dry before laying another coat on top. Each successive layer causes covered surfaces to become more adhesive and durable; eventually creating an impenetrable barrier that maintains its appearance for years with little or no maintenance required.
In most cases, homeowners add between five and fifteen layers of our product but the number needed depends on the type of substrate being covered, its porosity and overall condition. Our product is not designed for exterior use in areas that receive heavy foot traffic from animals or from individuals wearing shoes so it's important to know exactly what your intended application will require before beginning the dry process.
it very useful for homeowners who don't want to spend money on expensive upkeep services or renovations. Below are just two benefits.
Spray-on concrete doesn't generally need special equipment or techniques during the application or regular cleaning services afterwards. Because each layer dries within an hour, painting over it can occur within 12 hours afterwards which makes it easier to maintain than other surfaces.
