In case, the concrete is heaving or has several cracks or is spalling or resting on unstable soil, then an overlay cannot fix the problem. On the other hand, if the concrete is just discolored or has minor stains and cracks, then an overlay will be ideal to cover-up the surface imperfections, giving the concrete a complete face-lift.
Q. When buying, what should I insist for the overlay to withstand the conditions it gets exposed to?
A. Make sure to tell the overlay installer or manufacturer to confirm that the material you plan to use will work for you; is it a floor surface in a high-traffic area OR subject to chemical, grease, and oil spills. Be sure that it’s tough enough to withstand all the conditions it will confront.
A. In general, yes. However, it is important to assess the quality and type of screed on which the new flooring is supposed to be glued.

A. YES, if its blends are strong and made out of high-quality ingredients. In such an eventuality, the overlay would also look much better and last longer.
A. The main reason for using a concrete overlay is to restore and beautify existing concrete. To get the look you want, you need to determine the type of color, pattern, and texture you want for your rejuvenated surface.
