These products give new life to structurally sound, worn existing concrete surfaces that are unlevel, old, or too damaged to function in its current state. They are often used to add integral color, dye, polish, or as simple as the need for a sound surface to install alternate floor coverings on. They can be left seamless or used as a canvas for decorative sawcut. The combination allows the cement based products to be installed in thin applications, restoring slab surfaces to a 'like new' condition and eliminating the need to completely tear out and replace the entire concrete slabs.
