Concrete Flooring OverlaysOverlays are becoming an increasingly popular choice for architects, designers, and homeowners. If your concrete is worn and aged, it can be topped with a fresh, level canvas that can be decoratively styled to match any decor. Overlays can be as thick as several inches, or paper thin. And they can be used both indoors and outdoors. "These self-leveling overlays are flowable, polymer-modified cementitious toppings that have the huge advantage of setting within a matter of hours," says Bruce Hackett of Concrete Decor magazine.
He says self-leveling overlays offer a number of significant benefits over alternative floor coverings. Through staining, sawcutting, dying and grouting, overlays can accommodate an almost limitless range of designs, global maps, for instance, or dolphins swimming through waves that would be either impossible or cost-prohibitive with other materials. And, provided they are properly and regularly maintained, self-leveling overlayments will also last indefinitely, which offers a clear advantage over carpet, tile, vinyl and other more traditional floor coverings that must be periodically replaced. Additionally, overlays are considerably less expensive than pricier alternatives such as granite, terrazzo or marble.
