What Is an Overlay?
www.DecorativeConcreteOrlando.com(407)-423-3342
A concrete overlay is very simple – it’s a thin layer of material applied to the surface of your existing concrete. The actual thickness will depend on the condition of your existing cement.

Damage like chips and cracks will need a thicker application in order to repair
and hide them. Once installed, this overlay can be stamped, colored and
shaped to add visual interest and better aesthetics.

In essence, stamped concrete overlays let you get away from boring, bland
concrete and create something beautiful and unique.

As mentioned, stamped concrete overlays offer you a tremendous range of options when it comes to achieving the look and
feel that you want. Here are a few of your choices.

Texture: Overlays can be textured in almost any way that you might want. For instance, you can texture it like wood, like cobbles or
like natural stone. It can be smooth and glossy or it can be nonslip and ideal for use around a pool. It can be colored with a staining process,
as well.

Patterns: Perhaps the greatest diversity in terms of options available can be found in the area of patterns for stamped concrete
overlays. You’ll find that any type of pattern you might want can be applied. Do you like
the look of natural brick? Perhaps you prefer natural stone.

Maybe you want a herringbone pattern. You might decide that you prefer the grain pattern of wood, or that slate is the ideal
choice for your needs. Patterning is simple, easy and effective. When combined with the right texture and color choices, the
results can be amazing.

The trick to getting stamped concrete overlays that look great and stand the
test of time is to work with a reputable, experienced contractor.

While there are DIY kits on the market, and more contractors than you can shake a stick at, it’s important that you understand the need for professional skill with stamped concrete and staining. Whether you’re
looking for a new driveway, new interior floors or a new patio, the right contractor
can help.www.DecorativeConcreteOrlando.com

You can add spice and life with different combinations of staining and
patterning/stamping techniques.

Both offer an incredible range of possibilities, and they can be used in
conjunction to help you achieve exactly the look and feel that you want. In
terms of colors, concrete can be stained almost any color you might
want.www.DecorativeConcreteOrlando.com

This allows you to match the exterior colors of your home, or go for a
contrasting color scheme if you want. Stamping is exactly what it sounds like,
and allows you to embed designs within the concrete itself.

Design possibilities run the gamut from things like fleur-de-lis to patterning that allows you to make decorative
concrete mimic other materials (stone, brick, cobbles and even wood are
popular options).

New Pour or Resurface?
www.DecorativeConcreteOrlando.com(407)-423-3342
You have two choices when it comes to decorating concrete. You can choose to
have a new cement surface poured, which will require that any existing concrete be demolished and removed first, or you can
go with a resurfacing job.

Obviously, resurfacing is going to be the most affordable option, and is
usually the better choice for homeowners.
