Restoration and proper preparation of the concrete are important steps to consider before beginning a concrete coating project. Failing to assess and address the substrate's condition and environment can lead to unsightly issues.

Issues include:

• Alkali/Efflorescence (White Spots)

• Mortar/Control Joint Erosion

• Peeling Paint, Bags, Sags

• Water Runoff/Staining

See examples of substrates showing visual evidence of these problems, and the steps to follow to ensure a successful coating application.
