FAQ About Century Stone Concrete Coatings

What’s the difference between Century Stone coatings and other overlays?

Overall, CenturyStone stands out as a superior coating solution when compared to other overlays due to its combination of advantages, such as:

Faster Curing Time: CenturyStone boasts a significantly faster curing time compared to other overlay options, allowing for quicker project completion and less disruption.
Unmatched Durability: Engineered with superior materials and advanced technology, CenturyStone exhibits exceptional durability, ensuring a long-lasting and resilient surface that can withstand heavy foot traffic and harsh weather conditions.
Quartz Aggregate Advantage: The incorporation of quartz aggregates in the CenturyStone formula enhances its resistance to abrasion and UV rays, preserving its appearance and structural integrity over time.
Fade-Resistant: Unlike some overlays that may fade or discolor due to sun exposure, CenturyStone is designed to resist fading, maintaining its vibrant color and aesthetic appeal for years to come.
Rapid Use: Thanks to its fast-curing properties, CenturyStone surfaces can be walked on just one day after application, minimizing downtime and inconvenience.

Are concrete coatings worth it?

Absolutely. Concrete coatings offer a multitude of benefits that make them a valuable investment for both residential and commercial properties. By creating a protective layer over the existing concrete, these coatings significantly extend the lifespan of the surface. This is achieved by shielding the concrete from the damaging effects of weather, foot traffic, and chemical exposure.

Furthermore, concrete coatings dramatically enhance the aesthetic appeal of the surface. They are available in a wide array of colors, textures, and finishes, allowing for customization to suit any design preference.

They also offer superior resistance to stains, chemicals, and impact. This makes them ideal for high-traffic areas and spaces prone to spills or chemical exposure, such as garages, workshops, and industrial settings.

How long do concrete coatings last?

CenturyStone Concrete Coatings are renowned for their durability and longevity. With proper installation and maintenance, these coatings can last for several decades, maintaining their aesthetic appeal and structural integrity throughout their lifespan.

This extended lifespan is due in part to their robust composition and resistance to wear and tear. Despite their thin profile (often just 1/8″ thick), they exhibit remarkable resilience, effectively mimicking the appearance of natural materials like stone, tile, or brick while surpassing them in terms of durability.

Can Century Stone be applied indoors?

Absolutely. CenturyStone coatings can be applied indoors. They are a versatile solution suitable for a wide range of interior applications. The seamless and durable nature of CenturyStone makes it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas such as kitchens, where it can withstand spills and heavy foot traffic.

In showrooms, the aesthetic appeal of CenturyStone can enhance the overall presentation and create a lasting impression.

For commercial floors, the resilience and low-maintenance requirements of CenturyStone make it a practical and cost-effective option.

CenturyStone’s adaptability to both indoor and outdoor environments showcases its versatility and makes it a go-to solution for various resurfacing needs.

Is Century Stone slippery when wet?

No. CenturyStone is designed with safety in mind, even in wet conditions. During the final sealing process, an aluminum iron oxide aggregate is integrated into the sealer. This creates a textured surface that provides enhanced traction and slip resistance, making it ideal for areas that are frequently wet, such as pool decks, patios, or walkways.

Does Century Stone require ongoing maintenance?

CenturyStone is designed to be incredibly durable and low-maintenance. Unlike other surfaces that may require regular resealing or resurfacing, CenturyStone’s two-part sealer system offers long-lasting protection. This means that once applied, you can enjoy the beauty and functionality of your CenturyStone surface without the need for frequent reapplication.

Day-to-day upkeep is also a breeze. The smooth and non-porous surface of CenturyStone is resistant to dirt, stains, and grime, making it easy to clean with simple household items like water and mild soap. No harsh chemicals or specialized cleaning products are needed to keep your CenturyStone surface looking its best.

Can Century Stone fix uneven or cracked concrete?

Absolutely, Century Stone can effectively address both uneven and cracked concrete surfaces. As part of the preparation process, existing cracks are widened and then filled to create a smooth base. For areas that are uneven or have low spots that could pose a tripping hazard, the application of a thicker aggregate layer can be used to level the surface before the Century Stone overlay is applied. This comprehensive approach ensures that the final result is not only visually appealing but also safe and durable.

How customizable is Century Stone?

CenturyStone offers a vast array of customization options to transform your space. The possibilities are virtually limitless when it comes to textures, colors, and patterns. Whether you desire the timeless elegance of natural stone, a modern and sleek concrete finish, or a unique and artistic design, CenturyStone can bring your vision to life.

Our skilled craftsmen can create a variety of textures, from smooth and polished to rough and textured, to mimic the look and feel of various natural stones like slate, flagstone, or cobblestone. We offer an extensive palette of colors to choose from, allowing you to match your existing decor or create a bold new look. Additionally, we can incorporate custom patterns and designs, including borders, accents, and medallions, to add a personal touch to your space.
