Cretecova Concrete Resurfacing

Cretecova concrete resurfacing is FAST

The whole Cretecova concrete resurfacing process takes 2 days in most instances (up to about 150SqM). Day 1 – Floor is prepared ready for application, an initial skim coat of Cretecova is applied, this creates a high strength chemical and mechanical bond to the whole surface of the substrate. When dried sufficiently a finish layer is applied with the desired effect.

The following day we can scribe a tile pattern into the Cretecova surface, usually greater than 600mm tiles, square or rectangular. The “grout lines” (no actual grout or associated problems) can be 1, 4, 6 or 10mm wide. After this we colour wash the floor to provide a multi-toned effect, this colour also becomes the “grout” colour. (There is no grout to go mouldy and fall out). After this 2 coats of sealer are applied and the following day the area ready for use.

Cretecova resurfacing Effects can be :-

Slate – a layered effect similar to natural slate. Customers can choose colouring of this. Heavier texture can be applied to external applications.

• • Marbled – This is a very popular effect and can be in any colour choice. Minimal texture with mottled colour finish.
  • Stone – Natural colours and tones make these floors warm and inviting.
  • Terracotta Tiles – Or any tile for that matter. We can reasonably reproduce almost any tile you would bring us.

Features of Cretecova concrete resurfacing

• There is no grout to go mouldy.
• The texture and colour are natural and continuous across the floor. They don’t just finish at the edge of each tile. Each “tile” is unique, being hand crafted in place.
• The process only adds 2-3mm to the surface, thereby not interfering with door clearances etc. Carpet can also overlap the edge without any noticeable variation.
• The surface is sealed for lasting results and easy cleaning. Advise on choice of sealer (Matt, Semi-gloss or high gloss).
• Polish can be applied for a higher gloss and easier cleaning in retail or high foot traffic situations.
• Cretecova concrete resurfacing is up to 3 times as hard as concrete.
• Fast application, quick return to use (2 days in most cases, longer for vehicle traffic).
• Tile effect (if you want it) can be any size you desire.
• Need Slip resistance?  For external concrete resurfacing areas we incorporate a slip reduction additive into the sealer we use over the concrete resurfacing.  This is a fine grit that allows easy cleaning.
• Looks fantastic. You will be the envy of your friends, and they will think you paid a lot more for it than you did. Many of the above mentioned surfaces can be in excess of $200/SqM laid, our finished floors are much less than half this. Contact us to discover how much you can save.
