WHAT IS CONCRETE MICRO-TOPPING?
Concrete micro-topping is a thin, cement-based coating applied over existing concrete surfaces, such as floors, walls, and countertops.
This innovative material bonds seamlessly with the substrate, creating a smooth, uniform surface that can be customized to achieve a variety of colors, textures, and patterns.
Ideal for renovating old, worn-out floors or creating a minimalist, industrial look, micro-topping is the ultimate choice for a stylish, low-maintenance flooring option.

KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CONCRETE MICRO-TOPPINGS AND NORMAL CONCRETE
1. THICKNESS:
Micro-toppings: Applied in very thin layers, typically a maximum of 1/8 inch thick.
Normal Concrete: Poured in thicker slabs, usually several inches thick, for structural purposes.
2. COMPOSITION:
Micro-toppings: Made of a polymer-modified cement mix. The polymers give them added flexibility and enhance bonding to existing surfaces.
Normal Concrete: A basic mixture of cement, sand, gravel, and water.
3. PURPOSE:
Micro-toppings: Designed primarily for resurfacing and decorative enhancement of existing concrete. They don’t add structural strength.
Normal Concrete: Used for a wide variety of applications where structural integrity is needed: foundations, driveways, slabs, walls, etc.
4. APPEARANCE:
Micro-toppings: Offer a much wider range of colors, textures, and finishes, allowing for a more polished and customized look.
Normal Concrete: Traditionally a plain gray color, though it can be stained or dyed for some variation.
IN SUMMARY:
Micro-toppings are a thin, decorative overlay designed to revamp the look of old concrete surfaces. Normal concrete is thicker and focuses on providing structural strength for buildings and infrastructure.
