Concrete Overlays

StrongWear installs professional cementitious concrete overlay systems for commercial and industrial properties throughout Dallas–Fort Worth and across Texas.

When existing concrete is heavily patched, worn, damaged, or unable to achieve the desired appearance through traditional polishing alone, an overlay can create a new, uniform surface over the existing concrete. Depending on the project requirements, overlays can be installed and finished as polished, decorative, or protective concrete surfaces.

When Is a Concrete Overlay a Good Option?

Systems & Options

What We Install

Polished Concrete Overlays

Polishable cementitious overlays provide a new surface that can be mechanically ground, densified, honed, and polished much like conventional concrete — the look of new polished concrete without replacing the slab. Ideal when the existing slab has extensive repairs, discoloration, inconsistent aggregate exposure, or other conditions that make conventional polishing unsuitable.

Overlay or Polish Existing Concrete?

Not every slab needs an overlay. When the existing concrete is structurally and visually suitable, traditional concrete polishing may be the most efficient solution. When existing conditions prevent the desired appearance or performance, an overlay gives us the ability to create a new finish over the existing slab. StrongWear evaluates the floor and helps determine which approach makes the most sense.

Our Process

Step by Step

01

Surface Preparation

The existing concrete is mechanically prepared using professional diamond grinding equipment to create the proper surface profile.
02

Repairs & Preparation

Cracks, joints, damaged areas, and other conditions are addressed as required for the selected overlay system.
03

Overlay Installation

The cementitious overlay system is professionally mixed, placed, and finished to create the new surface.
04

Grinding & Polishing

For polished overlay systems, progressive diamond tooling is used to achieve the specified appearance and sheen.

05

Final Protection

The finished surface receives the appropriate densifier, guard, sealer, or protective treatment based on the system and intended use.
