Micro toppings and skim coats are innovative techniques in decorative concrete that offer a world of possibilities for your floors and countertops. They are thin, customizable overlays applied to existing surfaces, creating a fresh canvas for design and creativity.
What are Micro Toppings and Skim Coats
Micro toppings or skim coats are types of overlays with a much finer sand mix. Give existing concrete floors a face lift. Or, use micro toppings in conjunction with other concrete finishes to give a smooth look and feel. After resurfacing with concrete overlay, some clients have the surface skim coated to create a smooth finish. The results are absolutely beautiful when combined with a concrete acid stain or dye and finished off with a high gloss urethane concrete sealer. Sometimes after removing tile or wood floors, clients are left with a very rough concrete surface. Resurfacing the concrete with an overlay is the best option, and applying a skim coat afterwards will give the best results when applying color and sealer.
Microtoppings and skim coats offer remarkable versatility, making them suitable for an array of surfaces, from concrete floors to countertops and walls. Their adaptability allows for the complete transformation of virtually any space. Beyond aesthetics, these overlays contribute to the durability of your surfaces, offering a protective layer that resists wear and tear. This resilience ensures that your surfaces remain in pristine condition while requiring minimal maintenance. Furthermore, microtoppings and skim coats provide unparalleled design freedom, enabling you to bid farewell to plain, monotonous concrete. You can explore a wide spectrum of colors, textures, and patterns to align with your unique style and creative vision, thus breathing life into your spaces.
