Site Conditions Affecting the Installation of Decorative Overlays

摘要

We have a contract to install a decorative concrete overlay.There's a fair amount of flexibility on the timing of the installation, so I want to make sure to install the overlay when it will have the highest chance of success. What should I consider? With a variety of overlay systems from which to choose, you will discover that many products have their own set of performance criteria-as well as specific recommendations as to the best conditions and procedures for application. Often these criteria will help you determine the best system for a particular project. Whatever system you choose, I can't stress enough the importance of reading the manufacturer's technical data sheets and specifications. This is where you'll find vital information about mix ratios and mixing times, the best temperatures for installation, surface preparation procedures, and much more.
