Resurfacing products overcoat existing surfaces with a 2mm - 5mm spray on, slip reducing, cementitious compound, ideal for either indoor or outdoor renovation work, or as a new application. The surface is applied by troweling down the base coat which serves to smooth and prime the surface (as well as form the grout colour). The pattern (grout lines) is achieved by masking the area with special concrete stencil over which the top coat is sprayed. This forms the main portion of the surface and colour. It may be finished in any number of ways from rough to rustic or smooth. Finally, two coats of a acrylic sealer are applied to protect the finish and lock in the beauty for years to come.
