Decorative Concrete
Contractors in Irvine, CA

We get a lot of questions about the types of decorative concrete that's available. Here's a quick breakdown:

Acid-Stained Concrete - In this process, we'll take an acid-based stain and apply it to any concrete that has already cured. Following these steps, we have the ability to create just about any kind of finish that you can imagine. Since the possibilities are virtually endless, experimenting with samples is important. When applied and then topped with a high-quality sealer, you'll be looking at a beautiful and durable finished floor.

Stamped Overlays  - This is a very fun service to perform. With stamped concrete, we combine a stamp pattern and apply it to a color to achieve a unique look for your concrete. We do have standard stamps, but if you're looking for a different pattern, we can create one. It's normal to want to switch up the look of your home every few years, so if down the line you decide to do so and you need a new color for your stamped concrete, just give us a call. We can change the color of your stamped concrete, and repair any damage that we see at the same time.

Concrete Overlays - Typically used for patios and driveways, the process of applying concrete overlays is often a bit more complicated than people expect. We will mix sand, polymers, and cement together to create a special materials that works wonders for covering up old, cracked, or settling concrete (It can also be used to cover old countertops, wood, or vinyl floors...this stuff is awesome.) TruForm Concrete Specialists Irvine can stamp these overlays with a certain pattern, and color them with dyes, acid stains, or simply apply them with an integral color. But wait...there's more! They can be finished with products such as broom finish or hard polish, or even add rock to the mix and grind and polish it into a terrazzo finish after it's fully cured.

Micro Toppings (Overlays) - Maybe your existing floor has cracks, marks, or other types of damage. A micro topping overlay is perfect for covering those up. These cannot be stamped to create patterns because they're much thinner than other overlays, but stencils are still an option if you're looking for a design. Micro toppings do have their advantages, though--their thinness allows them to be layered to create different textures. When color is added, it will respond in different ways depending on how the layering has been performed.

Polished Concrete - The process of grinding and polishing rock has essentially been around since ancient times. Why is it still around today? Because everyone is still interested in affordable, low-maintenance durable surfaces for their homes and commercial spaces. If you're looking for an economical flooring option, this is definitely one to consider.

Epoxy FInishes - Epoxy finishes have been growing in popularity during the last decade or so. In this process, the concrete floor is first polished, then the epoxy coating is applied. The result is a durable, shiny, long-lasting finish that people are growing to love more and more.

Colored Concrete  - We love colored concrete because so many people are under the impression that concrete only comes in the standard grey. We love showing people what we can do with the experience, skills, and technology that we have. Ask us about what kind of decorative concrete colors are available@
