Decorative concrete overlays are a cementitious resurfacing product. They are applied in two applications and are resistant to salts, water-borne chlorides, and scalling from freeze-thaw conditions. Overlays are used in interior and exterior resurfacing of concrete, concrete block and masonry. Overlays can be stamped with texture, stained for color, and sealed for weather and stain resistance.
