Concrete Overlay by Cape Design Flooring
Transform existing concrete surfaces with decorative overlays — no demolition, no disruption.
Concrete Overlay allows you to completely reinvent an existing concrete floor without the cost and disruption of removal. We apply a thin decorative micro-topping or stamp overlay directly over the prepared substrate, opening a world of design possibilities: wood-look planks, stone patterns, geometric designs, or a clean monolithic finish — at a fraction of the replacement cost.

Concrete Overlay — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a concrete overlay?
A thin, polymer-modified cement layer applied over existing concrete to give it a new decorative surface without breaking out the old slab.
How thick is a concrete overlay?
Typically just a few millimetres for micro-toppings, and thicker for stamped or textured overlays.
Can an overlay fix cracked concrete?
Structural cracks must be repaired first. Once repaired, an overlay hides cosmetic damage and gives a uniform new finish.
Is a concrete overlay cheaper than replacing concrete?
In most cases, yes. You avoid demolition, removal and new concrete, and the job is quicker.
