Sprayed Concrete: Why Use It for Your Patio?
Sprayed Concrete is an ideal decorative coating for both floors and walls. Easy to apply using a spray gun or manually with a trowel, it's an ultra-durable material that gives your outdoor spaces a contemporary touch. With its polished concrete finish, this spray-on technique can be used on both old surfaces in need of renovation and new ones. It's especially effective for pool surrounds, patios, and terraces.
What is Ready-to-Use Sprayed Concrete?
Harmony Spray Mortar is a bi-component mortar made from resin, cement, additives, and special aggregates designed for creating decorative concrete surfaces, like stamped concrete. It comes as a fine powder to be mixed with resin and applied with a Sharpshooter spray gun.
Easy to clean and maintain, spray mortar is primarily applied with a spray gun and offers several advantages:
- It sprays in thin layers.
- It has a fine-grained texture, similar to polished concrete.
- It is quick to apply with mechanical assistance.
- It adheres well to various surfaces.
When troweled with a smoothing tool, Sprayed Concrete will have a polished concrete appearance, showcasing a wide range of color shades. After both layers of Sprayed concrete have dried completely, apply Harmony Enviro Varnish to protect the surface and give it a glossy finish.
How to Apply Sprayed Concrete
To add a unique look to your surfaces, Harmony Béton offers a wide selection of colors for Sprayed Concrete.
