What is the GRO-KOTE™ Concrete Finish System?
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
- GRO-KOTE™ Concrete Overlay is a balanced concrete, sand and polymer mix to apply over existing old concrete to create stamped concrete effects.
|
|
 |
|
- GRO-KOTE™ Concrete Premix is a balanced concrete, sand and polymer mix to apply over existing old concrete to create textured and patterned effects.

|
How thick are GRO-KOTE™ Concrete Finishes applied? |
|
|
|
|
| They are usually applied 1/8" to 1/4" thick but may be applied thicker when applied in layers. Also, a mesh of alkali-resistant fiberglass may be applied for support when applying the material thicker or for patching cracks. |
|
|
| Is the deck finished after this material is dried? |
|
| No. The GRO-KOTE™ Concrete Finish is then coated with a color finish using GRO-LAC®'s Acrylic Deck Finishes and then a top coat is applied of GRO-LAC® Acrylic Solvent Base Clear or GRO-LAC® Acrylic Water Base Clear. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| How many colors and patterns can be achieved with this system? |
|
| Many different template patterns and texture finishes can be achieved. GRO-LAC® Acrylic Deck Finishes come in twelve standard colors and a custom color deck is available for choosing custom tinting of up to 1,200 different color specifications. |

|
| What other decorative finishes can be achieved with GRO-KOTE™ Concrete Finishes? |
|
| A variety of stamped patterns can be applied using the GRO-KOTE™ Concrete Overlay system. This system is applied the same way as the GRO-KOTE™ Concrete Premix but is stamped to create rock patterns. The GRO-KOTE™ Concrete Overlay is then stained to the desired color with GRO-LAC® Acrylic Stain. After the stain has dried, a one or two coat application of GRO-LAC® Acrylic Solvent Base Clear is applied as a top coat. |

How long does it take to complete a job? |
|
| With good weather, this process normally takes five to eight days depending on the initial preparation required on the old concrete surface. |
|
What is the step-by-step application method for
GRO-KOTE™ Concrete Finishes? |
|
First the old concrete surface is high-pressure washed and allowed
to dry. Then the old concrete cracks or imperfect surface definitions are repaired. After the repair is dry, a thin squeegee coat of
GRO-KOTE™ Concrete Premix is applied for leveling and to make a good bond coat for the next step. Then a stencil is applied to the bond coat and a coat of GRO-KOTE™ Concrete Premix is applied with a trowel or spray texture gun. After that coat dries, a coat of GRO-LAC® Acrylic Deck Finish is applied with the customer color specification. Once that coat is dry, a coat of GRO-LAC® Acrylic Solvent Base Clear or GRO-LAC® Acrylic Water Base Clear is applied as a top coat and the deck is complete. |
|
| How long before the deck can be walked on? |
|
| The deck may be walked on after the top coat has been dry for 24 hours minimum. |
|
|
When can the surface have furniture set on it? |
|
| Normal waiting time before placing furniture on GRO-KOTE™ Concrete Finish surfaces is 48 hours. However, the surface should be checked for complete hardness before setting furniture on it. If the surface is a little soft, wait an additional 24 hours. |
|
| If the finish becomes scratched, can it be touched up or repaired? |
|
|
Yes. GRO-KOTE™ Concrete Finishes are fully repairable should any accidents occur damaging the surface. |
|
| Can the finish be washed when dirt gets on it? |
|
| Yes. The surfaces of GRO-KOTE™ Concrete Finishes may be washed or cleaned periodically. Do not use abrasive cleansers. Use general purpose cleaners with a soft deck brush. |
|
|
Are GRO-KOTE™ Concrete Finishes nonskid? |
|
|
| No. To make GRO-KOTE™ Concrete Finish surfaces nonskid, very fine sand would need to be added to the top coat. |
