A wide variety of appearances can be achieved by using our topping products with other coloring systems, release agents, stains and Bomanite imprinting tools or embossing skins. Our topping products are a revolutionary approach to designing with concrete. These toppings are capable of turning any stable substrate into a prize-winning work of art at a fraction of the time and cost associated with removing the floor and replacing it.
Bomanite Thin-Set is an extremely effective alternative to the demolition of an existing substrate. This product adheres to most adhesives and coatings, has excellent abrasion resistance and can be trafficked quickly. It is especially beneficial on applications where natural materials are not possible to install due to clearance issues.
The final look achieved with Bomanite Thin-Set will appear like other Bomanite, Bomacron or Patène Artectura surfaces.
The interest in pervious concrete is being driven by the benefits it provides in storm water management and sustainable development. Parking lots are major sources of storm water pollution. Impervious pavement surfaces do not allow storm water to pass through them. Therefore, the surfaces must be sloped to allow for proper drainage of water to drainage facilities or retention ponds. A more efficient design is to allow the storm water to percolate directly into the soil where it falls and this is accomplished with a pervious concrete pavement. We provide many Pervious Concrete designs to choose from.
Add special effects, unique highlights, decorative accents and custom designs with the Patène Artectura system. Patène Artectura can be used in new construction or combined with our Bomanite/Bomacron imprinting system to create dynamic and distinctive hardscapes. Patène Artectura is also the ideal system for redesigning the aesthetic appeal of existing concrete surfaces, where expanses of plain, gray concrete transform into beautiful and appealing surfaces.

Our polished concrete floors are created by art and science that revolves around the transformation of ugly porous, gray floors to being one of strength, longevity and beauty. Through the combination of diamond grinding, honing, and polishing, chemically densifing, and dyeing the concrete floor, we can create a beautiful, long lasting, low-maintenance floor. A nontoxic chemical is used to densify the floor. This nontoxic liquid rapidly penetrates the concrete surface and chemically reacts with the concrete making it harder, stronger, and less porous. This process is what makes the concrete hard enough to facilitate being polished, with diamond grinding machines, to a mirror like finish as seen on granite and marble. By utilizing this process in conjunction with acid stains, dyes, or colored concrete, and our artistic abilities, we can create floors that are a work of art.
Edwards Concrete offers a wide variety of designs with our Bomanite system of stamping and imprinting concrete. By using our proprietary coloring systems, release agents, stains and Bomanite imprinting tools and embossing skins, we can add a decorative touch to any project. Stamping has the durability and strength to stand up to the toughest traffic loads and environmental conditions. We also have many textures to choose from like slate, granite, limestone, sandstone, cobblestone, and brick, just to name a few. And we top it off with compatible water and solvent based sealing materials that protect the surface as well as help to reduce maintenance by resisting stain.
