Decorative Concrete

Get the look of natural stone, hardwood, or marble without the high cost. We resurface and stain your existing concrete to create stunning, high-end designs for patios, basements, and commercial spaces.

Don't Demolish Your Concrete. Redesign It.

Is your concrete structurally sound but aesthetically boring? Many homeowners think their only option for a new look is to jackhammer out the old slab and pour a new one—or cover it with expensive tile.

At Cure and Seal, we specialize in concrete resurfacing. We apply high-strength polymer overlays and custom stains directly onto your existing floor. This transforms plain grey cement into a work of art at a fraction of the cost of replacement. Whether you want a rustic "wood look" concrete patio or a modern acid-stained basement, we turn your concrete into a canvas.

Our Decorative Solutions

1. Stamped Concrete Overlays

The Look of Stone, Slate, or Brick. We apply a thin layer of high-strength polymer cement (1/4" to 3/8" thick) over your existing slab and stamp it with texture mats.

  • The Result: A realistic texture that mimics flagstone, slate, or cobblestone.

  • Best For: Patio resurfacing, driveways, and front entryways.

2. Acid & Water-Based Staining

The "Marbleized" Look. Concrete staining is not paint; it’s a chemical reaction that permanently changes the color of the concrete.

  • Acid Stains: React with the minerals in the concrete to create rich, earth-toned, variegated effects (translucent browns, reddish-browns, and greens).

  • Water-Based Stains: Offer a wider color palette and a more consistent, vibrant look.

  • Best For: Interior concrete floors, basements, and commercial showrooms.

3. "Wood Look" Concrete

The Durability of Concrete, The Warmth of Wood. Using a combination of specialized taping systems, overlays, and stains, we create a surface that looks exactly like plank flooring.

  • The Benefit: Unlike real wood, this won't rot, warp, or get eaten by termites. It is perfect for outdoor patios where real wood decking fails.

  • Best For: Outdoor patios, pool decks, and rustic basements.

4. Spray Deck (Knockdown Finish)

The Cool-Touch Pool Solution. A textured overlay that is sprayed on and troweled down to create a non-slip surface.

  • The Benefit: It stays significantly cooler under bare feet than regular concrete or stone.

  • Best For: Pool deck resurfacing and large commercial walkways.

Commercial Decorative Flooring

Branding & Durability for Business.

For restaurants, retail stores, and offices, decorative concrete offers the perfect balance of style and durability.

  • Custom Logos: We can embed your company logo directly into the floor using stencils and epoxy/stain.

  • High Traffic Ready: Our sealers are designed to withstand thousands of footsteps a day without wearing down.

  • Low Maintenance: No grout lines to scrub, no waxing required. Just a simple mop and occasional reseal.

Why Choose Resurfacing Over Replacement?

Cost Savings

Resurfacing is typically 30-50% cheaper than tearing out old concrete and pouring new decorative slabs.

Speed

Most overlay and staining projects are completed in 2-4 days. Tearing out and repouring can take weeks to cure.

Strength

Our polymer-modified overlays are actually stronger (PSI) than standard concrete, providing a durable wear surface that resists salt and abrasion.

Decorative Concrete

[Blurb]

Most stamped overlays are 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch thick. Thin-coat spray textures are even thinner (1/8 inch). This means we can usually resurface your floor without creating major height issues with your doors.

If your existing slab has major structural cracks, those cracks can "telegraph" (mirror) through the overlay. We always repair cracks first, but we may recommend concrete lifting or stabilization if the slab is moving before we apply a decorative finish.

Like tile or stone, concrete can be cool to the touch. However, it has high thermal mass. In basements, many clients use area rugs or install the finish over radiant floor heating systems for maximum comfort.

Testimonials

We moved into our new house in 2024. Bruce and Cure and Seal Coatings Systems coated the garage floor. It rained that night and caused the edge that stuck out underneath the garage door to discolour. Bruce came back and redid the floor so that it was flawless. Later that year, Bruce came and coated our driveway the sidewalk and the stairs at the front of the house, along the side of the house and all the way to the back gate in the backyard. Again, his work was flawless. We are very happy with his workmanship and are happy to show it off.

We had Cure and Seal Coating Systems come and repair our worn and scalded concrete entry way in the front of our store on Macleod Trail Calgary. Bruce and his team were able to accommodate all of our concerns, repair and put an epoxy overlay on the complete front entrance, it made an amazing difference, now it is much easier to clean and maintenance and we constantly get our customers asking about it. We highly recommend Cure and Seal Coatings Systems. They were a great company to work with.
Fadi, Owner
Stampede Boot Company Calgary
We were in the process of having our driveway and sidewalks replaced, as they were over 30 years old and had fairly substantial cracking, we were absolutely shocked at the replacement cost to the tune of almost $40,000.00! A friend told us about Cure and Seal Coatings Systems, and we decided to check them out. They came and gave us a detailed quote and told us exactly what they would do. They repaired and installed a beautiful Epoxy overlay system to the driveway and sidewalks, it’s completely transformed the look of the whole house, We always have people stop and ask us what it is and who did the work, we have no hesitation in referring Cure and Seal Coating Systems.
