IS POLYMER CONCRETE OVERLAY DURABLE?
Labyrinth Enterprises has developed a technique to install a labyrinth pattern onto the surface of an existing concrete surface (either new or pre-existing) by using polymer concrete. We feel it is vastly superior to stains or paints, as it is much more thick, opaque, and controllable. Until we developed our proprietary technique, a decorative concrete contractor would have suggested using stain. Now there’s an alternative.
