What Is an Overlay?

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.

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.

interesting embellishments. All of this and much more can be achieved easily.

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?

Page 22: Stamped concrete overlays

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.
