Abstract:
Cementitious toppings are a valuable option for construction of decorative flatwork in renovation work as well as new construction. This article describes the correct use of three popular topping materials: imprinting grade, stenciling grade, and thin coating grade. These products can be used with a variety of texturing techniques to replicate the appearance of stone, tile, brick, and even wood.
