PROCEDURE FOR SIMULATED COOLDECK
For Entry, walks, and Patios
1.
Rocks and grass are moved away from concrete allowing the color to
flow over the sides.
2.
The surface is checked for any grease, oil, and tar which will be
removed with a thinner (xyleen).
3.
All concrete is etched with muriatic acid which will remove dirt and grime.
This allows the opening of the pours of the concrete for a proper bond.
4.
All concrete is treated with ammonia; this neutralizes any acid left
behind.
5.
Fill cracks on top of the surface at no charge but concrete may shift so
we cannot guarantee the cracks.
6.
A coat of acrylic additive is rolled on to seal the concrete acting as a
primer.
7. We paper and tape the house, walls and windows
as needed.
8
After the primer is dry, we shoot the acrylic aggregate out of a hopper
and trowel it down to give the surface texture.
9.
After the surface is dry, we will clean up the area and caulk what is
needed.
10.
A two part polyurethane 700 color with UV absorbers is applied. Color
will be chosen ahead of time. Two part polyurethane will out last one
component acrylic by several years.
COOLDECK ON
DRIVEWAYS WILL NEED TO HAVE AN EXTRA COAT OF CLEAR DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF
TRAFFIC. There will be an extra charge and we will also need to come
back an extra day to apply the coat of clear Polyurethane.
If we need to make a
returnable trip to move items back on the coated surface there will be a
minimum charge of $75.00.
