Commercial Concrete Overlays and Underlays
Paradigm Concrete Finishes is a professional concrete overlay/underlay contractor with extensive experience in the flooring industry. What does that mean? We can apply a concrete overlay aka “microtopping” on top of concrete to make it look great without having to incur the cost or mess that comes with a full concrete removal. We’ve developed a reputation as a leading concrete overlay team in Sarasota and Bradenton, Florida, because of our commitment to quality and cost control.
What Is an underlayment
Underlayments are a thin coating designed to self level and smooth imperfections in existing concrete floors. Underlayments are put down as a flat base prior to installation of other floor coverings like carpet or vinyl floors.
CONCRETE REPAIR
Underlays repair cracked and divoted or uneven surfaces.
SELF LEVELING
Underlays will self level when poured and smoothed throughout the application area. This makes the floor flush.
WATER PROOFING
Underlayments create a seal which reduces moisture from penetrating the floor surface.

WHAT IS A CONCRETE OVERLAY?
Concrete overlays are a thin cement-based product designed to cover up an existing floor system to make a smooth and seamless surface that is aesthetically pleasing.
COLOR CHOICES
Overlays can be color dyed or stained based on your style preference.
POLISHABLE
The great thing about concrete overlays is that they can be polished, allowing you to choose the level of aggregate and shine you are looking for.
AGGREGATE
You have the ability to add an aggregate into the overlay. This means you can have a terrazzo style floor once polishing is complete. You have material choices like stone, mirror and glass to add to the overlay.
DECORATIVE INLAYS
These are the metal borders that are sometimes seen in airports or other decorative commercial floors. They can be added directly into the border of the concrete.
