How do you make concrete look so good?
At Wert Design we use a variety of stains and
polymer based resurfacing materials to create
stunning flooring systems for new or old
concrete.That's right, we can resurface old,
pitted, stained, ugly concrete and turn it into a
functional part of your home or business that
looks as good as it performs.
Will these products peel up like paint?
No! We do NOT paint concrete and advise you
never to do so. There are many reasons that
paint will not adhere to concrete and even the
lightest foot traffic (or even none at all) will
cause paint to peel or flake off. When
properly installed, our systems actually become
permanent part of the existing concrete. In
fact, we're so sure that our systems are the best
in the world that we guarantee they will not
de-laminate. Read our extensive warranty for
all the details.
How long will my new concrete surface last?
With a minimal amount of maintenance, your new
concrete floor will last longer than any other
flooring options on the market. Our staining
and resurfacing systems will wear just like
concrete because they are concrete. You can
drive a semi over our floors with no
worries!! Now that's durable!!
What's the difference between regular concrete
and your resurfacing products? There are two main
differences that should be noted when comparing
ordinary concrete and our resurfacing systems. Our
products are actually engineered to be stronger
than the grey stuff that comes on the mixing
trucks to most job sites and they are more
receptive to tinting and staining.
Why would I add a resurfacing product to my new concrete slab?
While a new concrete slab is an excellen candidate
for acid staining to create a beautiful,durable
floor, adding our resurfacing products will add
other options to your flooring choices.With our
engineered products we can achieve brighter, more
vibrant colors when acid staining and allows the
use of other types of stains, tints,textures,
custom logos and graphics, and other decorative
effects that just aren't possible with a standard
concrete slab.
Will the color fade on my new concrete floor?
No. With proper maintenance and a UV inhibiting
sealer your new floor will last a lifetime.
Color fade occurs when the U.V. resistant sealer
is worn and exposes the stained or colored
concrete to harmful U.V. rays. CSS has
higher performance characteristics than standard
acrylic sealers, including: salt resistance, U.V.
resistance, water resistance, freeze/thaw
resistance, petrochemical resistance, and wear
resistance.
Can a concrete floor be applied over a standard plywood subfloor?
Yes! These systems can be applied over a
wood sub-floor. This procedure includes
adding felt paper, lath, and creating a concrete
base over which a floor may be added. To
reduce the chance of flex, we recommend spacing
floor joists at 12" centers with two layers
of 3/4" sub-floor running in perpendicular
directions.
Can these systems be used on walls?
Yes! AMC can install a number of
different textures and colors to a concrete wall.
Imagine never painting your basement walls!
These products also look great on exterior
foundation walls at a fraction of the cost of
stone.
Are concrete floors slippery?
Any sealed surface can be slippery when
wet. Wert can help you with making your new
floor more slip resistant. We offer a wide variety
of textured floors that are great in wet areas
like pool decks, driveways, and patios. A
number of slip resistant additives can also be
mixed into the sealer and applied to any
floor.
