Types of Concrete Resurfacing: Discover the Options For Your Home

Is your home’s outdoor area or driveway feeling a bit lacklustre? It might be time to explore the dynamic world of concrete resurfacing, a game-changer in enhancing the longevity, functionality, and beauty of concrete areas around your property. Spray Your Concrete specialises in two primary types of concrete resurfacing: covercrete and concrete sealing—each designed to infuse life into your concrete surfaces with a touch of customisation.

Whether you want to revamp your driveway, patio, or any other concrete space, understanding the benefits and options available through these resurfacing methods can transform your property’s appeal. Join us as we unfold the myriad possibilities within covercrete and concrete sealing to help you make an informed decision for your home.

Covercrete Resurfacing

Covercrete resurfacing is, by far, our most popular type of concrete resurfacing option, transforming old, dull concrete into fresh new spaces. Covercrete is what most consider as “concrete resurfacing” – the broader term used to describe the process of laying a thin layer of a hard-wearing, decorative coating over existing concrete surfaces. The benefits? Increased durability, aesthetic enhancement, and added protection against wear and tear. Whether it’s your driveway, patio, or pool surrounds, covercrete breathes new life into tired surfaces, ensuring they stand the test of time while looking their best.

Covercrete Resurfacing Textures

Our covercrete concrete resurfacing service offers two resurfacing textures: splatter texture and orange peel texture.

• Splatter Texture: This texture choice is ideal for those high-traffic outdoor areas where slip resistance is paramount. The application involves spraying concrete coating in a scattered fashion to achieve a rough, textured surface that’s not only visually appealing but also functional. The splatter texture’s distinct advantage lies in its ability to provide excellent traction, reducing the risk of slips and falls around pool decks, walkways, and more.
• Orange Peel Texture: Named for its resemblance to the skin of an orange, this technique yields a finer, dimpled texture that offers a perfect balance between safety and comfort. Applied similarly through spraying, but adjusted to achieve smaller droplets, the orange peel texture delivers slip resistance with a softer underfoot feel. It’s the go-to option for areas where you seek the assurance of stability without compromising on comfort.

Covercrete Resurfacing Customisation Options

Our covercrete concrete resurfacing service also offers various customisation options, including heaps of colours and stencil designs.

• Colour Options: With a palette of 21 colours from the Dulux Avista range, our covercrete resurfacing service ensures you’ll find the perfect colour to match your home style and preference. From warm heritage tones suited for classic and vintage homes to cool modern greys for contemporary aesthetics and even dramatic dark shades for a bold statement, the flexibility in colour choice is vast. You can opt for a single-colour design or combine 2-3 colours to recreate the look of stone, exposed aggregate, or even intricate paving patterns.
• Decorative Stencils: To further personalise your space, we offer a variety of decorative stencils that add exceptional design elements to any concrete surface. Our collection ranges from the elegance of antique tile and the intricacy of ashlar slate to the classic charm of English cobble and the sophisticated pattern of regal tile. These stencils are applied before the texturing process, allowing for seamless integration of pattern and colour that enhances the overall aesthetic. Read our “Guide to Stencil Concrete Patterns“ and “Guide to Decorative Concrete” to explore the options.

Concrete Sealing

If covercrete isn’t quite the right fit for your concrete surface, our concrete sealing is another type of concrete resurfacing that can give your space a new lease on life. This method preserves the integrity of the concrete while elevating its appearance and functionality. Ideal for both new and existing concrete installations, it involves applying a protective coating over the surface to enhance its durability, reduce staining, and add sheen.

Sealing Colour Options

We use top-quality Dulux Avista tints and seals, offering 18 different tints for concrete sealing, including options from the popular Colorbond® range. These diverse colour options ensure you’ll find the perfect match to complement or accentuate your home’s exterior. From the understated elegance of Bluestone, French Grey, and Charcoal to vibrant choices like Brick Red and Sandy Beige, our Dulux Avista Sealer Tints cater to every style and preference.

The selection even extends to four distinct Colorbond® shades, including Monument®, Paperbark®, Woodland Grey®, and Shale Grey™, allowing for effortless coordination with other elements of your property’s architecture. Whether you are aiming for a subtle enhancement or a bold transformation, our sealing colour options provide the flexibility to achieve your desired outcome, making your driveway and outdoor spaces more durable and visually appealing.
