At Colonial Floor Care, we offer innovative services in addition to expert terrazzo restoration and concrete polishing.

One of our exciting innovations is micro topping, also known as concrete overlay. This process allows homeowners to transform an unsightly concrete floor into a dazzling, color filled work of art. Similar to our acid staining procedure which offers the addition of beautiful color options for concrete floors, micro topping creates a colorful, homogenous look to add to your home design.

What is micro topping? or concrete overlay? The Concrete Network describes it as follows:

Although cement based overlays have been around for decades, many of today’s systems blend polymer resins with cement, sand and other additives to improve performance, wear resistance and aesthetic qualities. Polymer-modified overlays can be applied in layers as thin as a credit card or up to several inches thick without delamination or failure. They adhere well to existing concrete and resist damage from salt, chemicals UV exposure, freeze-thaw conditions, and abrasion.

While most types of polymer-modified overlays offer similar performance benefits, each system has its own unique characteristics. Overlay manufacturers use different types of polymer resins, often blending them to produce proprietary products with distinct physical attributes. Many of today’s decorative overlays use acrylics or acrylic blends because these resins provide excellent bond strength and UV resistance.
