How to resurface cracked concrete with BRICKFORM Overlay

[@leadersuccess3761]

This is the right way of filling cracked concrete slabs ☺

[@donireland6218]

What kind of tape would you use for the joint lines? I have to imagine that it should be rather thin. And can you offer any tips as to how the "rocks" & "bricks" are textured?

[@SolomonColors]

The Brick border was textured using a hand trowel just like the rest of the driveway surface. The joint lines are not filled in. The color for the joint lines comes from the first coat of SM Professional grade.

[@donireland6218]

I really like the way you used the existing cracks as part of the design instead of trying to just surface over top of them.

[@patkashtock]

Thanks for posting this. It looks like something I should be able to do. I have looked at so many ways to deal with old concrete. Buying stencils and/or rollers is cost prohibitive. Never thought of just using masking tape. What a great idea! And that I can afford ;)

[@cousmaster]

you must have a lot of time and skill on your side

[@marklev8689]

How do you know where the tape is to remove after you cover it with the overlay?

[@KyleTaylorLucas]

Good, except why didn't you show installation of the epoxy?

[@SolomonColors]

We don't manufacture the epoxy. Depending on which epoxy you use, installation steps may vary.

[@anabarbero502]

@@SolomonColors what epoxy should I use?

[@RobertLofrano]

@@SolomonColors Thanks for telling , so detailed except for one piece of information

[@tonylackey2034]

I am curious as how you stained individual patterns, also how does it hold up with cars driving on this. Otherwise I am very impressed.

[@Antzzz_Manzzz]

A work of art 👍🏼

[@jkfhjfh3456]

Wonderful job!

[@SolomonColors]

Brickform Overlays will last just as long as the concrete surface that the overlay was applied. The cracks from the original concrete surface will eventually show up in the overlay. this is why we designed the pattern to incorporate the cracks.

[@desperado77760]

will this surface be more resistant to oil leaks from cars? and How much would a job like this cost per square foot?

[@blakxican899]

SolomonColors how many sqft per bag?

[@SolomonColors]

For a base coat, one 60 lb. bag should cover between 150 and 300 square feet. Texture coats should run at between 150 and 200 square feet. All of this depends on concrete porosity, conditions, and application technique.

What kind of tape did you use? And what kind of paint did you use...thank you

[@mk8530]

How long does this last? is it going to add to the list of maintenance items every year or 2? I have found that stain, and other sealants tend to need very regular maintenance.

[@Chicagocubbiegirl]

My first ? was what does this look like in 5 years.

[@Shakashack2022]

Hello. What is the best way (safe for kids & pets) to prevent seasonal moss from building on the concrete other than power washing. It takes a toll on the aggregate popping out. Thank you! Great video & awesome prep work.

[@SolomonColors]

We recommend keeping concrete sealed to prevent moss, mold, and mildew.

[@Shakashack2022]

@@SolomonColors Thank you. How often should concrete be sealed... every 3-5 years? Lastly, what sealant do you use?

[@SolomonColors]

@@Shakashack2022 Sealer lifespan depends on traffic and weather conditions. Most decorative concrete sealers will last about 2 to 3 years in normal residential conditions. We manufacture Brickform sealers, most of which can prevent moss growth.

[@djjavierZ]

On your brick border how was texture created? The joint lines are also filled in??

sir I have a floor of about 3000 feet and thousands of holes a quarter deep and three inches in diameter what cement can I use to cover the holes and that it does not dry too quickly to be able to work. Thank you el piso es interior

[@bbi1965]

That is awesome! About how much were the home owners charged?

[@DashDrones]

Awesome job, please can you upload a video of the driveway 6 years later to see how it looks now?

[@katharinejohnson5328]

How were the individual stones colored?. What was the process? Was the stain sponged on?

[@SolomonColors]

For an application like this, you would want to use a water based stain. You can brush, sponge, or spray the stain. Just make sure you do so carefully and mask the area.

[@katharinejohnson5328]

Ok I was confused b/c wouldn't you do the color before taking up the tape? In your video you showed the coloring after taking up the tape.

[@wjordanjr74]

Nice work

[@jimnicosia5934]

what kind of grinding tool did you use to remove the excess epoxy?

[@llc1976]

Very nice!

[@markahad6583]

hi, can this process work on a newly poured concrete that's joined to an existing patterned driveway to make it look uniform?

[@SolomonColors]

It can! Make sure to wait at least 28 days for the new concrete to fully cure before placing the new overlay material. You won't be able to guarantee an exact color match between the old and new pattern work, but you can get close if you use the same materials and application methods. Have your contractor make a sample to make sure before work starts.

[@edc.8082]

Can this process be used for refinishing an in-ground tiled/concrete pool deck in Florida? The old deck is a textured tile (12/12 inch) laid over cement. It has some cracks and this random stone pattern looks like it might work. Also the driveway in the front of the house has several stress cracks too. Thinking that this might take care of both issues vs replacement of slabs and tile. Thanks!

[@SolomonColors]

We recommend removing the tiles and properly cleaning the concrete before adding a micro-topping. Take a look at our surface preparation videos on KZbin for more information.

[@thebowelmovement3028]

Some kid wrote THIER name in fresh concrete sidewalk, w a finger, I want to fill finger groove and thin set a area coat to finish,can u show me how

[@snowballis2cute]

Is this product availiable in Florida?

[@mariscal4732]

As far as surface prep, do you not need to grind the concrete? E etch is good enough? The stuff I use needs at least a csp of 2. What rating is the e etch? Thanks

[@SolomonColors]

To consistently get a CSP 2, grinding or shotblasting may be required. E-Etch is a mild cleaner/degreaser and etcher. E-etch will only enhance an existing profile like the one on this old driveway unless multiple applications are used which can become cost prohibitive. As with any surface preparation, the slab and the product requirements will need to be reviewed to determine what method(s) will be required to properly profile and clean the slab. Check out www.icri.org and consider purchasing their manual on selecting surface preparation methods as this is an excellent resource.

[@scottpratson7766]

how much is job like that per square foot?

[@GS1181]

What is the name of the stick you have attached to the rubbing stone? Thanks

[@SolomonColors]

There's nothing special about it. You can use any extension pole like would be used for a paint roller, window cleaner, or broom.

[@GS1181]

+SolomonColors ok maybe I didn't word my question correctly, what's the name of the attachment that goes on the rubbing stone/brick so you can put the stick on it? I'm in Australia and want to buy one. Thanks heaps.

[@SolomonColors]

The tool may have different names depending on manufacturer and region, but some call it a rub brick mop. Visit your local concrete or masonry supply store and they should be able to provide you one.

[@vetosinaloa7731]

That's impressive good work buddy

[@jgsawka]

Will this finish last in northern cold weather Canadian climates?

[@SolomonColors]

When properly applied over an appropriately prepared surface, Brickform SM Professional Grade will be as durable as the underlying concrete. Reference the product cut sheet on www.brickform.com

[@bradduerson5132]

Kudos - Great option! I would really like to do this, but what about the expansion joints? How can the expansion joints do their job and without affecting the outward appearance?

[@SolomonColors]

Maintain control joints with any resurfacing project-in other words, do not fill them. If you do fill them, they will need to be re-cut so they can do their job.

[@KickButtMarketing]

@@SolomonColors Why wouldn't you simply fill them with a quality expansion joint sealer- like Sika Self Leveling for example?

[@kctyphoon]

so what was the cost of this particular job?

[@desperado77760]

How much would a job like this cost per square foot?

[@SolomonColors]

As a manufacturer, we don't provide pricing information. The cost of decorative concrete can vary widely based on region and the skill required for the project. Check with a contractor in your area or go to concretenetwork.com for general price guidelines.

[@pauloliveri9621]

It came out beautiful. However, why didn't you show the epoxy being put in? Also, I bet it would've been cheaper to pour new concrete.

[@SolomonColors]

We don't offer an epoxy product for that application, so we didn't want to provide information that might conflict with the application techniques suggested for your preferred epoxy. Generally speaking, repair is cheaper than replacing. Beyond cost, however, resurfacing has the benefit of being low impact - no need to excavate, haul out, or tear up the yard with Bobcats and ready mix trucks.

[@minnieminds2950]

Neat! How long will this last? What keeps it from cracking and blowing away when driven over by a heavy vehicle every day? It seems very thin to stand up to much abuse. If it works it's a wonderful idea and I bet almost anyone can do this given enough time. Great product!

[@davidpulaski5628]

I find it compelling that there is no response as regards to the longevity of this repair. Will those cracks reappear ?????

[@samsngdevice5103]

I DO THIS PROFESSIONALLY and have a way better application. First, go to harbor freight and buy a 4 inch handheld tile saw for $40. Link: www.harborfreight.com/4-in-handheld-dry-cut-tile-saw-62296.html Next go to www.ediamondtools.com/products/crack-chaser-blades and buy a 4" x 1/2 non threaded blade. Set the deck height to cut a perfect 1 inch deep grove and straighten out the cracks. For filler, forget expensive $100 gallon epoxy, instead use tile grout rated for immersion (swimming pools and showers). Ardex FL is the ultimate and using color charts you can match old, new, even colored concrete. Next, fill the cracks with grout, wait 30 mins, then sponge smooth. This eliminated regrinding you have to do with epoxy. 5 gallons of epoxy filler costs $500 5 gallons of grout costs $39.00 and doesn't have to be reground after cure. When you use grout for crack filler you are doing the exact same thing when you grout a ceramic tile. It will be stronger and adhere better to cement than any other crack filler in the world. Regarding cleaning, instead of a straight wand that cleans only 2 inch wide and requires a ton of arm movement, a spinner head that cleans 12 inch wide works WAY BETTER. Amazon has them for $59 and your partner can use a leaf blower to push the dirty water away. www.amazon.com/SIMPSON-80165-Universal-Scrubber-Pressure/dp/B07H5BJ3VR/ref=asc_df_B07H5BJ3VR/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312134668019&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3947361312397405302&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9019691&hvtargid=pla-635693761422&psc=1 For chemical, pre spray with heavy duty floor wax stripper and bleach mixed 1-1from the home center. . Apply heavy saturation with a 2 gallon pump up sprayer, wait 30 mins then power wash with spinner. Demo video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJybXmRoqbWjmMk Also regarding thin skin coats of any kind, they're usually only good for 3-5 years, stained finishes are are ideal for sidewalks and patios but require power washing followed by expensive sealers ($100 gallon with 300 sq ft coverage every 2 years and are slightly slippery, rated for foot traffic BUT NOT CAR TRAFFIC. salt from tires will strip and damage the finish. Very high maintenance costs. Good luck redoing that driveway every few years. Talk about red tape...

[@lpgjg]

This is exactly what I need to-do around my pool and they sell your product in Montreal...this is really good. But I have a few questions. 1 - Was the first coat applied with a squeegee? 2 - How sure is it I will see the crack repairs through the first coat? This is very important. If I lose sight of the cracks, I’m @#$#. 3 - Looks like you’re using typical masking tape (paper). How long - exactly - do I wait to remove the tape and what is the chance of it tearing and I lose the joint under the cement coat? Really need you replies as I want to do this for sure....pls help.

[@SolomonColors]

1-Squeegee or trowel 2-As long as you V-groove the crack once it has been repaired, the differential curing will show a darker material where the crack is located. 3. Our Design Tapes are fiber reinforced and will not disintegrate shed fiber hairs or tare when it's time to pull the tape after the Micro-Topping is dry. Check out our video on design tape at Design Tape for Decorative Concrete Overlays

[@lpgjg]

SolomonColors Thanks for clarifying about the fiber reinforced tape, it will obviously be much stronger than standard masking tape. Just one more clarification, when you say remove when the micro Topping is dry, do you mean the next day or like hours later in the same day when you can walk on it lightly? Still not convinced I will see the crack repairs after the first coat so I am considering just doing the one final coat after the crack repairs. Since I will stain everything in the end, I’m not too concerned about the grout line colors at this stage. Tks again

[@SolomonColors]

lpgjg You can remove the design tape the next day or once dry.
