Cement is a popular material used in many construction projects. However, over time it can become damaged from wear and tear or extreme weather conditions. When this happens, it may be necessary to repair or resurface the cement surface. This guide will explain the process of Cement repair and resurfacing as well as tips on how to maintain it in the future.
Repairing Cement
An important step when repairing cement is to assess the damage. If there are any large cracks or holes, they should be filled before any resurfacing takes place. This can be done with a repair mortar that matches the existing color of the cement surface. Once that is done, you should apply a sealer to help protect from further damage and fill in any minor cracks.
Resurfacing Cement
Resurfacing involves adding a new layer of material over an existing one in order to give it a fresh look and feel. For cement surfaces this usually involves applying an acrylic polymer coating which acts like paint but has greater durability than traditional paint products due to its waterproof properties. It also helps protect against UV rays which can cause fading on exposed surfaces over time.
