Decorative Concrete - Industry Talk

Talk of the Trade

“Preparing concrete surfaces for coatings, overlays, stains or repair materials is a time-consuming task that many contractors perform begrudgingly or are tempted to overlook altogether. But if you've ever skipped this essential first step in the process, you undoubtedly learned the hard way how critical it is to the success of the job.”

~ Anne Balogh, Senior Editor of Concrete Expressions magazine

"Lack of surface preparation causes 90% or more of overlay failures. The surface needs sufficient 'bite' for the overlay to bond, otherwise delaminating failure can result.”

~ Technical expert Chris Sullivan of Sullivan's Corner

“Concrete is flexible. What else can be mixed, molded, cleaned, colored, coated, textured, stamped, stained, stenciled, and personalized?”

~Contributor to Concrete Thought a blog created to keep contractors on the same slab!

"Decorative concrete is one of the hottest building trends today. The more understanding that a contractor has about what consumers are spending big money on, the more successful they will be."

 ~Jim Peterson, CEO of the Concrete Network
