The CCI System should not
show any abnormal wear
provided the acrylic sealer
is replenished as wear
occurs. We estimate this to
occur no sooner than every 3
- 4 years under normal
traffic conditions. As long
as the sealer is in place,
any wear should be absorbed
by this protective coating.
Any scuff marks, etc.
generally disappear with a
fresh application of sealer.
WHAT ARE THE COLOR
CHOICES?
CCI currently has 28
standard colors to choose
from. Our unique
highlighting system provides
virtually unlimited color
combinations. Custom colors
and personalized logos are
available at an additional
cost.
WHY SHOULD I REPAIR MY
CONCRETE INSTEAD OF
REPLACING IT? Concrete
replacement generally
requires heavy equipment
that can cause damage to a
lot of the surrounding area
including landscaping and
sidewalks. Some areas simply
are not accessible and must
be removed with smaller
equipment or sledgehammers,
etc. A large portion of that
concrete winds up in a
landfills. Once it is
replaced, you simply have a
brand new surface that is
subject to stains, oil
absorption, spalling,
cracking and salt damage.
CCI Systems require no heavy
equipment, and causes no
landscape or environmental
damage. Installation usually
takes only a few days,
depending on size and
conditions. When it is
complete, it is not only
beautiful, but will resist
stains, oil spills, and salt
damage. In addition, it can
be custom designed to match
your home, adding beauty and
value to your home and
neighborhood. New concrete
is just that - concrete.
HOW IS IT MAINTAINED
PROPERLY?
Although the CCI system is
extremely durable, it is not
indestructible. The rule of
thumb is this; if it will
scratch, chip or damage
concrete, chances are it
will damage the CCI surface
also. Exercise caution when
setting heavy objects on it.
Take care not to drag heavy
items that could scratch it.
Periodic washing is all you
should have to do to
maintain the surface. Clean
oil spills and the like as
quickly as possible to keep
it looking new.
WHAT ABOUT EXPANSION
JOINTS, ARE THEY COVERED UP?
Expansion joints and cold or
control joints are necessary
to prevent cracking of the
concrete. Concrete must be
allowed to expand and
contract with temperature
changes. These joints
provide a "controlled crack"
for this movement. All
expansion joints are left in
place, we cannot cover them
up. We also recut all
existing joints a little
deeper to ensure that when
it does move, it moves where
we want it to, and not at
some undisclosed weak spot.
WHAT ABOUT HEAVED,
SUNKEN, AND SEVERELY DAMAGES
CONCRETE?
Heaved (raised) concrete, is
generally ground down, or
the adjacent section is
built up to meet it using a
variety of materials.
Severely damaged sections
can be tom out and replaced
if necessary. This helps to
minimize the cost and time
of replacing the entire
area.
CAN CRACKS BE REPAIRED?
ABSOLUTELY! All cracks are
repaired using high strength
epoxies prior to applying
the skim coat. New tension
control joints are then
placed, or existing ones cut
deeper to alleviate the
tension and allow for the
movement that created the
crack initially.
(Note: In most cases cracks
cannot be guaranteed, please
see your local CCI dealer
for more details)
CAN IT BE APPLIED AROUND
POOLS?
MOST DEFINITELY!! CCI
products are the ideal
solution for pool and spa
areas. They are non-skid,
cooler than concrete, and
will not stain or be
adversely affected by pool
chemicals. It also provides
a perfect transition from
pool to yard, and adds that
finishing touch like no
other product can. Because
of its versatility, a
stencil can be used to
indicate depth markings or
areas of safety concern.
HOW SOON CAN IT BE USED
AFTER APPLICATION?
For normal foot traffic,
excluding high heels,
cleats, or spikes: 24 hours
*; Vehicle traffic: 5-7 days
(* Under normal temperature
and weather conditions)
WHAT SURFACES CAN IT BE
APPLIED TO?
CCI products can be applied
to any concrete surface,
vertical or horizontal. Wood
surfaces must have a cement
backer board such as Hardi-Board-
or DuRock- applied to add
stability and minimize
flexing.
