If you have ever been dealt the unfortunate hand of having poor concrete work done, or buying a property that already had pre-existing concrete that was in poor condition, you know how bad it can make a home or office look. Unfortunately, little can be done to fix ugly concrete. Whether it is poor application, bad substance, or abuse, there hasn’t been any way of fixing the concrete. You could patch holes, which would stand out more than the original defects, or you could tear out the concrete and start new.

The good news is that now there is a way to make any concrete surface look better than ever! Start by cleaning the concrete surface with K7 Degreaser & J3 Deactivating Power. Then, patch any large wholes with a quick drying all purpose patch. Once the patch dries you are ready to Super Sealer. The Super Sealer will fill the pores of the concrete and create an unbeatable bond to the concrete surface. Super sealer also fills some of the smaller imperfections in the surface.

Polyvinyl Acetate Flakes are then put down into the Super Sealer. (If desired, a Granitex color glaze can be put down over the Super Sealer.) Once the Super Sealer has dried, the flatblade is used to remove any extra Flakes, and a coat of Granitex clear glaze is added over the flakes.

You can make anything look as fancy or as plain as you want. For this particular front step, we used a vinyl decal showing the message “Welcome”, and masked around the risers, to apply a coat of chocolate brown Granitex glaze. Once the brown glaze dried, we applied another coat of clear over the whole job.

It can be very easy to make any disaster, look like a million bucks!
