DecoCrete
WHAT IS DECOCRETE?
A coloured, cement-based material formulated to be plastered to excessive thicknesses but does not slide or shrink and dries rock-hard. A textured shaping system for the creation of artistic finishes, such as rock features, exposed brick walls and pool copings.
Benefits
- The slow setting gives plenty of time to work and manipulate the material in-situ
- For use in interior and exterior walls, floors and copings
- Abrasive resistance and coloured throughout
- UV and alkali proof
- Ideal for water features as it can continually be exposed to water

Q: Do you need to seal your DecoCrete surface? A: No, however cement by nature is porous and applying a sealer ensures that your DecoCrete finish is protected from any spills or wear and tear. Q: Is DecoCrete waterproof? A: If your DecoCrete surface will be exposed to the water we would recommend sealing the surface to ensure no water penetrates into the surface or stains the surface.
