As the mixture dries, your new floor surface gets stronger and can withstand heavy loads. It is also easy to maintain and of course, cost-effective.

Our general process of concrete resurfacing
Stamped concrete might appear simple to install. But trying to install it all by yourself might actually be a goof up. We are here to help you resurface your floors and has expertise par excellence to guide you with all aspects of concrete resurfacing. We undertake all major resurfacing works including driveway resurfacing, pool deck resurfacing, concrete overlay, and patio resurfacing. The process we follow is well-planned paying attention to even the smallest of details. We use the best concrete designs and techniques and finish off the job fast, while keeping the concrete overlay cost to the minimum.
While doing a concrete stamping on your floor we follow these steps.
Lay the concrete on the floor. This is done carefully and also ensuring that the blocks are not less than four inches in thickness.
Now we go about with applying the color. For best results a little patience is required. We wait for a while and allow the concrete to reach the correct stage of plasticity. When it has reached the right stage there will be no bleed water on the surface. This is the green signal to start the process. For applying the color, we start from the middle portion of the slab and work towards the edge. This way, the color hardener doesn’t build up on the edges. Proper care is taken while applying the color by throwing it from the waist level or even a bit lower.
This can reduce wastage of material drifting into the air. After the first coating of color hardens, resting period is given for about a few minutes to let it absorb water from the concrete. After this a second layer is applied following the same steps to get a complete coverage. This way of coating the concrete surface is called broadcast covering. We can also add the color in the called as integral coloring.
Next step is to apply the release agent. Release agent serves two purposes. They give a wonderful contrast color and also act as a bond breaker. Then a brush is dipped into the pail of release agent to coat it evenly. It is then held below the waist and flicked with the wrist so that the surface gets coated with a light and uniform layer of release agent. If it is a liquid release agent, a pump-type sprayer can be used to apply a uniform coating.
Before beginning the stamping, the concrete is tested to see whether it has come to the right plasticity. It should hold the weight of workers and support the defined imprint. Stamping, if started late, it will require more effort and cannot produce much texture. If the concrete is ready, we proceed with pre texturing along the edges. This will help to get the required texture and also the full color for your stamped concrete designs.
Once the concrete is ready, we proceed with stamping. For best results, stamping should be done in the same sequence that the concrete has been placed. Most manufacturers provide stamp sets labeled with numbers or letters. We usually stick on to the sequence recommended by the manufacturer. Placing the first row should be done carefully ensuring that it is a straight line because this will decide the alignment of the remaining. We make use of a string line for the purpose.
For irregular stamp patterns, we check the alignment with the help of the edge form. While stamping each row should be done thoroughly before starting on to the next, the process requires a minimum of 3 people for the same to be executed with precision.
It is possible that cement paste might have become displaced and come up between the joints while stamping, and might leave your floor with an untidy look. We use a hand chisel or roller and carry out some detailing on the surface to deal with the same. This can remove displaced cement and fix up the surface flaws.
After a few days we clean the surface by removing the release agent residue. After cleaning we give time for the surface to dry up completely and then apply the curing compound according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Now we cut control joints which are necessary to prevent any random cracking. This can be done while the concrete is setting, using a groove. You can also put the joints after the concrete sets using a saw with an abrasive blade. This gives the best concrete refinishing for the flooring.
To finish off the process of concrete floor resurfacing, we do a surface cleaning after a few weeks and apply a coat of sealer. The sealer is distributed uniformly using a roller. The final result is a beautiful and an appealing flooring with guarantee of quality from us.
