Step 1 – Preparation
Preparation is key. We pressure wash the concrete with a 3,500 PSI pressure washer.Grind to remove paint or other adhesive on the floor. Our objective is not simply to clean the concrete but to also remove any loose concrete that simple rinsing will not achieve. It is not uncommon for it to take 4-5 hours to pressure wash a 100 SQM driveway.
Step 2 – Mask Up
Before we start spraying we mask everything around it. Our masking will ensure every thing is well protected from over spray. We take your property very seriously. For us its not uncommon to take 3-5 hours to mask up some jobs.
Step 3 – Spray On
Depending on your choice of colour. Our special resurfacing cement is mixed with water and the choice of your colour oxide/tint. Once mixed its put in a hopper gun and being sprayed onto the floor. Once the first coat is dried a second is applied for textured antislip look.
Step 4 – Sealer
This is where the magic happens. We only use the highest quality commercial grade clear sealer which will last for a very long time.
Decorative Concrete Systems are hand crafted on site by trained applicators using a variety of techniques and artisan craftsmanship. They are not pre-manufactured flooring systems and therefore every system installation is unique and will present its own set of installation variables. Similar in effect to natural stone products, the final outcome of these systems are designed to and may give an assortment of colors, swirls, mottling effects, blemishes, and occasional hairline cracks, natural to and desired when choosing these types of hand crafted systems. Although we will patch cracks however it will not be guaranteed. Decorative Concrete Systems create custom translucent color effects, and are not designed to, and will not hide surface discoloration, blemishes, impressions, cracks, markings or other construction variables.
Decorative Concrete Surfaces are striking in appearance and add to the artistic features of modern sculptures, floors, walls and accessories. The final installed product will use the same colors, finishes, materials, and application methods used in the approved sample provided. Variables that occur during installation are due to each unique working environment. (I.e.: lighting, temperature, airflow, humidity, and existing floor condition.) The end user should understand and accept the look and variables expected when choosing this type of system, and have taken the time to educate themselves on the artistic and unique impression that these systems portray. The total system design must be considered to ensure safe, long lasting, trouble free performance. It is the end users’ responsibility to determine the suitability of these systems for their particular application and their own use.
