Resurfacing Concrete Flooring
For close to 30 years we have proudly been installing the X-Bond concrete floor overlay to projects throughout Australia in residential, commercial, retail, hospitality and educational spaces. So it’s safe to say, we know a thing or two when it comes to concrete resurfacing!
Why a microcement overlay may be perfect for resurfacing your concrete floor…
Open up Instagram or Pinterest and you’re almost guaranteed to see a photo in your feed that features some type of concrete aesthetic. Whether it’s on the floors, walls or joinery, concrete is a modern yet timeless material to use. With microcement overlays, it’s easier than ever to achieve that concrete texture everyone loves, and it’s more achievable than you think.
A concrete overlay is perfect for clients who:
are unable or don’t want to pour a new slab of concrete
don’t like the look of their existing concrete floor
want to replace old tiles or timber flooring
want to save time and costs involved with removing their existing floor
If you answered yes to any of the above, then you’re in the right place!
At Alternative Surfaces we’ve used X-Bond for concrete resurfacing on residential and commercial flooring.
How is microcement applied onto concrete?
The X-Bond concrete overlay flooring system is applied directly over an existing substrate. It is installed using a hand trowel by our team of experienced professionals. The cement based mix is applied at approximately 3mm thick over an existing concrete slab, over existing tiles (yep, ugly old tiles be gone!) and over compressed sheeting.
What’s the difference between concrete and a concrete overlay?
Great question! A concrete overlay is a thin coating that’s hand applied over a concrete slab or other surface. It is not as thick as concrete and while it isn’t as strong, it’s still very durable. It has the added benefit of being more flexible than rigid concrete, and therefore less prone to cracking. Concrete overlays are also usually warmer under foot, and provide more design options in terms of colour and texture.
Can a concrete overlay be applied over in-slab heating?
Our concrete overlay system, X-Bond, can be applied over in-slab heating. First a thin screed would need to be applied directly over the heating, and then the X-Bond would be hand trowelled on top.
What colours and finishes are available?
Within our X-Bond range there are four different texture finishes and 10 standard colours available. Click the button below to find out more.
