Check out some of the Permacolour Decorative Products that are included in these training workshops
Decorative Overlay
Permacolour Decorative Overlay is a two-part coating system designed for established concrete in both internal and external areas.
Overlay is over twice the strength of normal concrete and still much stronger than most other concrete coating products.
It is less than than the cost to replace existing concrete, but with many added benefits.
Permacolour is a great product as an alternative to tile, carpet, vinyl, timber or any other heavy duty indoor and outdoor flooring.
Micro-Topping
Permacolour Micro Topping is an extremely fine, coloured Microcement floor and wall coating which is versatile, trowel-able and produces a smooth, slightly mottled, decorative thin set finish for interior use only.
Permacolour Micro-Topping is designed to provide a durable, attractive and economical floor and wall coating for new/existing residential surfaces and light commercial surfaces. It is easy to apply and requires minimal maintenance.
As well as being an excellent floor and wall coating, Permacolour Micro-Topping is great for creating stunning benchtops.
Cemcote
Permacolour Cemcote is a cement based coating, designed to provide a tough and economical coating for direct application onto new or existing concrete surfaces both internally and externally.
This coating sets rock-hard and will enhance drab or worn out surfaces efficiently.
With the required addition of water on site, the powder will turn into a smooth flowing coating which is unaffected by ultra violet light.
Permacolour Cemcote is excellent for re-colouring concrete surfaces that have been damaged by rain or have not turned out as expected. Commonly used on floor surfaces including basement and garage floors, footpaths, patios, pavers and driveways.
Concrete Imprinting
Concrete Imprinting accurately reproduces the detail, texture and feel of natural slate stone and brick. Permacolour have many different prints to choose from.
All designs are true creations of natural materials from coarse wire cut brick to random fieldstones and heavily textured stone.
Unlimited exciting colour combinations can be achieved to suit every project using either Oxide or Colour Hardener and a coloured release agent.
