Underlayments.
Underlayments are specialized, thin-layer toppings engineered to correct irregularities and create a smooth, level surface over existing concrete substrates. Applied prior to the installation of floor coverings such as carpet, tile, vinyl, and hardwood, underlayments establish a uniform, stable base that enhances the appearance and performance of the final flooring system. These precision-formulated materials address imperfections, improve surface integrity, and ensure optimal adhesion for subsequent finishes, contributing to a professional and long-lasting result.
In addition to leveling, underlayments can provide moisture mitigation, increased sound absorption, and enhanced thermal properties, making them an essential component of high-quality flooring installations. By creating a consistent foundation, they reduce the risk of premature wear or damage to the finished floor and support superior performance in both residential and commercial environments. A well-installed underlayment ensures a flawless final appearance while extending the lifespan of the entire flooring system.

Overlays.
Concrete overlays are advanced resurfacing systems engineered to rejuvenate and transform existing floors by covering worn or unattractive concrete with a fresh, smooth, and seamless surface. These overlays provide an aesthetically appealing finish that can replicate the look of polished concrete, stone, or other decorative designs, offering a cost-effective alternative to full floor replacement. By bonding directly to the existing substrate, overlays create a durable, long-lasting surface that enhances both the appearance and functionality of the floor.
In addition to improving visual appeal, concrete overlays can correct minor imperfections, restore structural integrity, and increase resistance to stains, abrasions, and chemicals. Available in a wide variety of colors, textures, and patterns, overlays offer extensive design flexibility to achieve custom looks tailored to the specific needs of commercial, industrial, or residential spaces. Properly installed, concrete overlays provide a high-performance flooring solution that revitalizes existing surfaces while extending the life and value of the underlying concrete.
