Spray Textured Concrete Coatings
An easy way to give concrete floors, patios & pool decks a decorative, skid-resistant finish
Hopper Spray Gun
Time: 04:08
See how spray-on concrete toppings are applied using a hopper gun.
Versatile and easy to apply, spray-down concrete systems offer a wide array of finish options. Usually they are sprayed evenly onto concrete with an air-powered hopper gun, but they can also be applied as a splatter coat to create a textured, slip-resistant surface or "knocked down" with a trowel to create a smoother finish. They are very similar to microtoppings in that they are thin, but differ in that they usually contain more sand and provide a rougher, grittier finish.

Applications
These systems are often used for concrete pool decks and patios to give them a decorative slip-resistant finish. They also are a good option for high-traffic interior floors because of their durability, low cost, ease of application, and range of patterns and colors. A popular decorative technique is to use paper or adhesive stencils to produce designs such as borders and medallions, tile patterns, and embossed or inlaid motifs.

How to spray concrete texture
Spray-down toppings are usually applied by a hopper gun under pressure. The type of finish (knock-down, orange peel or smooth) depends on the spray pattern and method of spray application. If stencils are being used, a base coat of material is applied and then the stencils are adhered to the floor, followed by the application of a second color coat. Finally, a sealer is applied to protect the surface and enhance the color.
