Hey, I appreciate it! I’m looking to make a sloped concrete overlay. I need a 1-inch slope for a 5-foot wide walkway. Any tips on how to achieve that slope and mix Quikrete so it’s just right-not too wet or too dry?
If you pouring it on dirt you can screed you slope out first or build a frame to the slope you want. Directions will be on back of back, just make sure you don’t use too much water. The less water the better.
Polished concrete is way more expensive and not necessary! And it will take a shit tone of time to get it polished when you could have the same results burning the concrete then sealing it !
Steel troweling the concrete and sealing is a totally different aesthetic in terms of light reflectivity/gloss/clarity than polished concrete. There are situations where each are better suited, but in general I would disagree that pc is not necessary, takes a shit tone of time, and is the same result. It can be expensive, and should be if done well.
Any particular brand of microcement you prefer to use? How does it hold up as a regularly trafficked interior floor? Any need to add mesh in between layers? Thanks
I would honestly broadcast it, that will give you better coverage and it will be more uniform. If you don’t want to broadcast it then you need to roll it on.
Hey man, I’m on the demo side of the industry. We scrape and grind floors down to concrete so installers or finishers can come in. I was wanting to seal the concrete in my home. My sister has an old dog that’s been peeing all over the house. I’m just ready to tear everything out. I was hoping to grind and seal it for a matte finish and easy maintenance until the dog passes. I’m not to privy on the products to use though. Any suggestions?
