Restoration and proper preparation of the concrete are important steps to consider before beginning a concrete coating project. Failing to assess and address the substrate's condition and environment can lead to unsightly issues.
Issues include:
Alkali/Efflorescence (White Spots)
Mortar/Control Joint Erosion
Peeling Paint, Bags, Sags
Water Runoff/Staining
See examples of substrates showing visual evidence of these problems, and the steps to follow to ensure a successful coating application.
