Improved Curb Appeal by resurfaci
ng your Driveway
Your driveway is your home’s first impression to the neighborhood and an often neglected project on the remodeling list due to the effort and expense of removing and replacing the concrete or asphalt.
Concrete Driveways are likely something you use every day but you don’t notice until there’s a problem. If expansion joints or control joints aren’t constructed properly or if the ground isn’t compacted properly before concrete pouring, the concrete will eventually fail. When a concrete driveway isn’t kept covered and moist while curing, it can dry out and easily crack. Small cracks grow into large ones, especially in cold weather with freeze/thaw cycles.
A most cost-effective way than replacing a driveway is to repair and strengthen by resurfacing concrete flooring.
Some of these overlays are Portland cement-based and modified with high-performance polymers for high bond strength. They can be placed over the surface of existing concrete to produce a new wear layer, as well as tofill in small surface defects such as spalls, gouges, and cracks. We commonly use them to restore existing concrete surfaces, including sidewalks, patios, plazas, courtyards, walkways, driveways, parking garages, pool decks and most vertical concrete surfaces. Once applied these overlays can be broom textured before it sets for a reduced-slip surface.
• Suitable for residential and commerical flooring
• Use for interior and exterior floors and walls, freeze/thaw resistant
• Resurface worn and spalled concrete surfaces to provide a“new concrete” finish
• Easy to apply and hardens quickly
• Compressive strength (ASTM C109/mod – Air cure only) – 4000-8000 psi at 28 days
We recommend that all concrete be resealed every three to five years, depending on the exact materials used forthe original work. Our experts are more than happy to advise you on the exact time scale for your particular installation.
Alternative Surfaces installs a wide range of decorative concrete surfaces suitable for driveways, parking decks, pool decks, patios and virtually any exterior space.
