Spraycrete

Spraycrete, also known as covercrete, is a type of concrete overlay that is sprayed onto existing surfaces to improve their appearance and durability. It is commonly used for resurfacing driveways, patios, pool decks, and other concrete surfaces. The application process involves spraying a mixture of cement, sand, and other additives onto the surface, which is then textured and finished to achieve the desired look.

The benefits of using spraycrete/covercrete include:

• Enhanced appearance: It can transform old, worn-out concrete into a fresh, attractive surface.
• Increased durability: It provides a strong, long-lasting surface that can withstand heavy foot and vehicle traffic.
• Slip resistance: Textured finishes can improve safety by reducing the risk of slips and falls.
• Versatility: It can be applied in various colours, patterns, and textures to match the desired aesthetic.
• Cost-effective: It is often more affordable than removing and replacing existing concrete.

Spraycrete/covercrete can last for many years, typically ranging from 10 to 15 years or more. Its longevity can depend on the level of maintenance and use it receives.

Yes, spraycrete/covercrete can be applied over damaged concrete, but it is important to address any significant structural issues before application. Minor cracks and surface imperfections can be repaired as part of the preparation process. However, if the concrete has severe damage, such as deep cracks or structural instability, it may need to be repaired or replaced before applying the overlay.
