Spray Knockdown Finish Concrete Resurfacing Process
While other coatings are poured and spread with a roller brush, this system calls for a hopper gun. This concrete resurfacing solution is not only for concrete pool decks but also for patios, driveways, and other concrete surfaces. The installation process of a knockdown texture on concrete on pool decks, although fast and easy, requires the expertise, experience, and equipment of a professional concrete contractor.
- Step 1: The installer first performs a thorough assessment of the concrete surface that requires pool deck resurfacing. Damage should be fixable and manageable. If not, a concrete replacement would be a better solution.
- Step 2: After repairs are done, if such were necessary, the concrete surface is washed with water and mild detergent. This is to make sure that the surface does not have anything on it that could keep the coating from adhering properly.
- Step 3: The right amount of Knockdown Texture is mixed properly, making sure that it has enough proportions of water and coating to ensure proper drying and hardening.
- Step 4: The mixed coating is gravity-fed into the hopper gun, ready for spraying.
- Step 5: Once the concrete surface temperature is checked, should be something between 60 to 70 degrees F, the coating is sprayed on it.
- Step 6: The material is knocked down with a trowel, just enough to acquire a knockdown texture on the surface.
- Step 7: After the knock-down finish is done and completed, staining can be done if desired. A layer of concrete sealer is then applied to protect the coating and extend its lifespan.
