The biggest advantage of using polished concrete overlays is that you can select colours that suit your interior design. Our decorative concrete overlays are the perfect floor to complement your property and add that ‘wow’ factor to your space.
What Is a Concrete Overlay
A polished concrete overlay or veneer is a cement-based, polymer-modified, self-smoothing compound that can be installed in spaces over a structurally sound substrate. Project Concrete has perfected the art of hand-crafted overlay systems, with over 15 years industry experience.
To create your polished concrete overlay system, Project Concrete will hand-mix the cement with your desired colour on-site, then carefully trowel the material onto the existing floor or substrate. This application technique not only reduces waste but allows for a truly unique finish.
Selecting A Concrete Floor Overlay System
Project Concrete has an extensive range of concrete overlay floor & wall finishes to suit all domestic and commercial projects. Learn more about our stunning overlay options.
Microcement
We use Mapei’s Ultratop system to deliver sleek, seamless micro-cement floors ideal for modern residential and commercial spaces. Applied by hand in ultra-thin layers, this high-performance cementitious coating creates a continuous surface with a contemporary, tactile finish.
With a choice of smooth or textured effects, Mapei micro-cement floors offer excellent abrasion resistance and are well-suited to high-traffic environments. Thanks to its minimal build-up, Ultratop can be applied over existing concrete substrates, making it a smart option for renovations and design-led projects where height is a consideration.
Burnished Concrete Floors
Our burnished concrete floors offer a polished, refined look with long-lasting performance. Using Mapei’s specialist floor systems, we achieve a natural, low-maintenance finish that enhances the raw beauty of concrete without the use of exposed aggregates.
This nil-exposure floor is ideal for clients seeking a clean, understated aesthetic. Burnished floors are finished with penetrating sealers to provide surface protection and sheen. This is a popular choice for residential interiors, showrooms, and creative studios where durability and design go hand in hand.
Terrazzo
We’re proud to be the first flooring installers in Western Australia to partner with Concrete Collaborative, a leading producer of innovative, design-forward terrazzo materials.
Terrazzo is a timeless flooring solution made by embedding decorative aggregates such as marble, granite, or recycled glass into a cement or concrete base. Once cured, the surface is ground back and polished to reveal the unique texture and colour within the mix. The result is a smooth, highly durable floor with real visual impact.
At ProjectCONCRETE, we specialise in the installation of terrazzo floors that are as practical as they are beautiful—suited to both residential and commercial settings.
Palladiana
Palladiana is a striking variation of terrazzo, characterised by larger, irregular stone pieces that are hand-placed into the concrete base. The fragments which are often offcuts of marble, create a mosaic-like floor that is bold, organic, and truly one of a kind.
In collaboration with Concrete Collaborative, we are proud to bring this artisan flooring technique to Western Australia. Each Palladiana floor is laid with care and attention to the natural characteristics of the stone, then polished smooth for a seamless finish. Durable, low-maintenance and visually impactful, Palladiana offers a bespoke look for high-end spaces that want to stand out.
Benefits of Polished Concrete Overlays
Polished concrete overlays are steadily rising in popularity for both residential and commercial projects, and it’s easy to see why. We’re going to take a close look to discover the numerous benefits associated with choosing polished concrete for flooring in homes, offices, stores, warehouses, and even for an outdoor living space or patio.
Perfect for Problem Floors
Perfect for Problem Floors
If you have an existing concrete slab for your floor, it probably has some scratches, cracks, spalling, thin spots, or pits that need fixing. One option for repairing a cracked concrete surface is a re-polish, but the technique doesn’t always result in a perfectly smooth surface since flaws can still show through after the final polishing.
By installing a polished concrete overlay, you can eliminate those worn spots from heavy traffic, cracks, fractures, and other flaws—without having to shell out cash for an expensive replacement. If your existing slab does have numerous cracks or imperfections, we’ll use a sandblaster to grind down and reprofile the floor in situ. The reprofiling also helps eliminate dangerous elevation problems.
After we’ve removed every crack and only structurally sound substrate remains, we’ll start the seeding and overlay process. By the time we finish the last dyes and coatings, we will have transformed your drab concrete slab floor to a gorgeous, high-gloss finish.
Endless Customization and Design Options
Endless Customization and Design Options
One of the best reasons to install a polished concrete overlay system is the huge range of customisation options. You have a virtually endless combination of design elements, textures, colours, and patterns to choose from, all of which will elevate the look of your space.
If you’re doing some home renovation, we have a vast selection of decorative concrete overlays and aggregate to seamlessly match your interior space and décor. It may sound cliché, but the only limit is your imagination! The team at Project Concrete has the skills and knowledge to incorporate any design scheme you want using our decorative concrete overlays.
Unique Design and Aggregates to Transform Your Floor
Unique Design and Aggregates to Transform Your Floor
One popular request from many of our customers is to use coloured or exposed aggregate, which can turn a plain polished concrete overlay into a work of art. When we seed the aggregate, it forms a thin surface layer of rich colour that will never fade or grow dull. The polished concrete floors we create at Project Concrete form the perfect surface for additional design elements, such as chips of coloured glass or aggregate, even stamps or stencils—the options are endless.
Fast Turnaround Time
Fast Turnaround Time
Another great benefit to choosing a concrete overlay system is the fast turnaround time. Once we have a flat and level surface to work on, we’ll start the preparation stage for your new polished overlay. After that, you can expect the installation to take around 24 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the project. In fact, installing a real concrete overlay is the perfect choice for renovation and construction projects on a tight schedule.
Before we handle the installation, you’ll have to choose which concrete overlay system you want for your commercial or residential flooring project. Here at Project Concrete, we’re proud to offer ULTRATOP, one of the most beautiful and durable concrete overlays available. We offer 3 different finishing options:
Natural Effect – with a matte-finish overlay.
Polished Effect – with a high-gloss, high-shine surface.
Terrazzo Effect – which uses colour aggregate to create an amazing finish.
Durable and Stain Resistant
Durable and Stain Resistant
Another reason why polished concrete overlays are so cost-effective is due to the inherent strength of concrete. As a cement-based product, concrete is already incredibly strong and durable. However, the addition of sand substrate within the cement mixture forms an extremely dense material with properties ideal for flooring material. Our concrete overlay systems are also virtually maintenance-free due to their high resistance to extreme temperatures, stains, wet weather, mould and mildew, dirt, and daily wear and tear. Our team also uses an anti-fracture membrane and expansion joints to ensure that your concrete overlay system will remain resistant to damage such as cracks, worn spots, or fractures. Since the surface of your concrete overlay system will have a high-polish finish, your floor will only require a minimum amount of maintenance to keep it in excellent condition.
Available Colour Options
First, you’ll choose from a wide variety of base colours, then decide whether to add an aggregate finish. We have a range of colours and stone mixes to suit every property and style, so sit back and let the expert designers at Project Concrete help you find the perfect aggregate and mix for your needs.
Below you’ll see some of the base colour options available, and there are many more to choose from. In regards to aggregates, we can source small and large stone mixes from many of the largest stone aggregate suppliers in Australia. We can provide any decorative overlay effect you desire.
Naturally, we’d be happy to help you find the right mix. Give us a call or fill out our contact form to get started.
