What are concrete overlays and toppings, and what are they used for

Concrete overlays and toppings refer to a very thin layer of concrete applied on top of an existing concrete surface. It can be used both indoors and outdoors.

The primary purpose of using a concrete overlay or topping is to improve the look of the existing concrete surface. It can also be used to protect the surface from wear and tear and make it more slip-resistant.

There are many different types of concrete overlays and toppings available:

  • Stamped Concrete Overlays – This involves stamping a design or pattern into the wet concrete before it dries.
  • Stencilled Concrete Overlays – This overlay involves stencilling a design or pattern onto the wet concrete before it dries.
  • Coloured concrete – This involves adding pigment to the wet concrete before it dries, giving it a unique colour.
