The Benefits of Choosing a Concrete Overlay
Longevity
One benefit of concrete overlays is that they extend the life of your existing concrete by protecting it from UV rays, water damage, and chemical spills. These overlays protect concrete by sealing your driveway with an acrylic polymer that forms a bond with the concrete when it dries. This sealant provides protection from the elements and accidental spills. It also can add a shiny, polished look to your asphalt.
Appearance
Concrete overlays provide an improved appearance to both new and deteriorating surfaces with their decorative possibilities. Because we offer so many different overlay colors and patterns, you can easily breathe new life into an old surface. This enhances curbs, driveways, pool decks, sidewalks, or any number of other types of outdoor areas with just one coat of acrylic finish paint over the top of the overlay!
Easy to Clean
Concrete overlays are very low-maintenance and easy to clean. They do not require any special maintenance or upkeep, just the same routine cleaning that you would expect of your driveway or walkway, such as sweeping and pressure washing with soap and water once every few months. Stamped Concrete Raleigh even offers a sealant that can be sprayed on your driveway, extending the protection of your overlay.
Durability
Concrete overlays provide durability. They are more durable than bare concrete, and they hold up over time. Overlays can last anywhere from 8-20 years, depending on the style you choose. A standard overlay is a great option for those who want something very durable. If you want to go the extra mile, then consider adding aggregate, color hardener, or a protective sealant that will keep your stamped concrete looking fresh and new for longer.

Concrete Overlay Application Areas
Pool Decks
Concrete is the material of choice for pool decks because it is porous, which allows water to pass through. This prevents standing water on top of your pool deck, enabling it to dry faster after heavy rain or after being wet from swimmers’ splashing.
- Bring character to your pool deck.
- Long-lasting UV protection
- Designed to meet your needs
Driveways
Driveways usually receive more foot traffic than other types of concrete work. This makes stamped overlays an excellent choice for driveways because it gives drivers that all-important traction in wet conditions.
- Provides long-lasting protection from UV rays, water damage, and chemical spills
- Driveways receive more foot traffic, making stamped overlays an excellent choice.
- More cost-effective than repairing or replacing
Commercial Settings
Concrete overlays are excellent for commercial settings. The durability of the material makes it a great choice for businesses and offices that want to maintain a polished appearance. These types of sites usually see moderate foot traffic, but not enough to warrant high-traffic floorings such as carpet or tile.
- Satisfy strict cleanliness standards
- Easily maintain a polished appearance.
- Get the best of both worlds - durability and beauty
