Can you use self-leveling concrete in the garage?

• <div><p>Self-leveling concrete is the best option for your garage floor since it guarantees an even surface in the end. However, most garage floors weren’t made with self-leveling concrete. You don’t need to fully replace the garage floor to use self-leveling concrete. A quarter-to-half-inch of self-leveling concrete on top of your existing floor will be sufficient for a smooth and even finish.</p></div>

Q: What chemicals are used to bond old concrete to new concrete?

• <div><p>You'll find a slurry of natural and synthetic polymers, rubbers, epoxies, and resins used to bond old concrete to new concrete. The right bonding agent depends on the method of concrete pouring you choose and whether you're adhering concrete over concrete or concrete over sand and gravel. Some concrete resurfacing mixtures contain bonding chemicals as well. </p></div>

Q: Can professionals customize concrete finishes during resurfacing?

• <div><p>Yes, with decorative options like stamping or staining available.</p></div>

Q: What type of floor finish should I choose?

• <div><p>There are a few different types of finishes to choose from for the final step of the project. </p><p>Water-based polyurethane sealants emit fewer odors and fumes but dry quickly, which can pose a challenge when trying to get a smooth coat. Oil-based polyurethane sealants let out more odors and fumes into the air (it&rsquo;s especially important to wear a respirator if you choose this type), but they take longer to dry, which can be more forgiving during the finishing step. </p><p>Some may prefer wood oil to polyurethane because rather than creating a layer, it becomes part of the wood. Wood oil takes longer to dry, and is less resistant to wear and tear; however, it creates a natural-looking result by enhancing the grain of the wood. </p></div>

Q: How do you change the color of cinder blocks?

• <div><p>You may be wondering: <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-paint-my-fiber-cement-siding.htm">can you paint cement</a>? Fortunately, the answer is yes.</p><p>To change the color of your cinder blocks, you have two options. You can either paint them or stain them. Either way, you'll be able to choose from a wide range of color options. Some popular colors for cinder block painting include off-white shades and gray tones, which add a modern spin to the traditional gray blocks.</p></div>
