Abstract:
Thanks to today’s advances in latex technology, and years of field-testing, numerous proven cementitious overlay systems are available, enabling us to successfully place concrete overlay systems varying in thickness from a grain of sand to several inches. These overlay systems, if properly placed, offer significant improvement in salt and chemical resistance. So, not only can we make old concrete sidewalks look as if they were freshly placed, but we can transform Main Street into the inviting look of cobblestone, brick, or even old wooden planks without dramatically changing the street elevation or removing the existing concrete. .
