Concrete repair?
Question:I have a concrete patio and it is settling. I would like to cover it with something similar to stamped concrete, I'm not sure it has stopped settling and whether the stamped concrete would crack. What would look nice and cover the patio? I don't really want pavers, although I know they might be an only option.Someone told me about a product that is used on uneven concrete and has rubberized or polymer type panels, but he wasn't sure of the manufacturer.
Answers:
most times when you pour anything over a cracked slab , the cracks will telegraph through...for a long run fix, tear it out and put something new in.
i jst asked my hubby who use to work in concrete... he states that there is something that can seal the concrete patio w/ b/4 they stamp it. So u'r best bet, is to call several places that specialize in stamping & ask them. Hopefully u'll get the SAME answer & then that will b u'r answer & u can proceed from there.
He says he doesn't rembr the name of it.
hope that helps a bit
Whatever you do it would be a good idea to fix the problem of settling. If you don't I think it would be a waste of time. Also I think outdoor tile looks good. Just make sure it has some texture to it so you don't fall. Smooth tile is very slippery.
