The Covercrete Resurfacing Process

Achieving a quality Covercrete finish begins with proper surface preparation and the selection of a suitable resurfacing system. Each stage plays an important role in creating a consistent, decorative surface designed for the intended application.

01

Surface Assessment 

The existing concrete is assessed for cracks, damage, previous coatings and surface conditions that may affect the resurfacing process. This helps determine the appropriate preparation and treatment requirements.

Concrete Preparation

The concrete is cleaned and mechanically prepared where required to remove unsuitable surface materials and create a suitable foundation for the new coating. Cracks and surface imperfections may also require treatment before application.

Regular Cleaning

Remove leaves, dirt and loose debris regularly. Wash the surface using suitable cleaning products and methods recommended for the specific coating system.

02

Manage Spills Promptly

Clean spills as soon as practical to help minimise staining. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods that could damage the decorative finish.

02

Prevent Surface Damage 

Avoid dragging heavy furniture, sharp objects or equipment across the coating. Use suitable protective measures where necessary.

03

Periodic Inspection & Resealing

Check the surface for signs of wear, coating damage or deterioration. Depending on the system and exposure conditions, periodic resealing may be recommended.

Keep Your Covercrete Looking It's Best 

Maintenance requirements vary depending on the resurfacing system, exposure to weather and level of use. Heat Shield Group can provide guidance on appropriate cleaning and ongoing care for your finished surface.

Important Information & Disclaimer

Covercrete resurfacing is subject to the condition and suitability of the existing concrete substrate. Surface preparation, repairs, coating systems, colours, textures and finishes may vary depending on the individual project and intended application.

The durability, appearance and performance of a finished surface depend on factors including substrate condition, environmental exposure, traffic, maintenance and the selected coating system. Not all existing concrete surfaces are suitable for resurfacing, and results cannot be guaranteed to be identical across all applications.
