Commercial & Industrial
Cultured Concrete Inc. can meet with you, your architect or your master planner to discuss Cultured Concrete’s benefits in more detail. For projects already specified, Cultured Concrete can be retrofit to existing surfaces and is excellent with repairing & blending any unforeseen situations during the build.
Cultured Concrete is a custom troweled stone and tile application that is a mixture of super concentrated acrylic resin, Portland, sand and other trade secret materials. These materials when applied with an acrylic-bonding agent will produce a hybrid surface bonding acrylic cement. This product is not only designed to protect but also ascetically enhance any horizontal or vertical concrete surface.
Materials testing used in trowel on application
According to the Ceramic Tile Institute CTI 82-1-1 (R90), this material would be considered slip resistant.
Coefficient of Friction – Dry
.60 .62 .62
.58 .64 .60
.60 .60 .62
.58 .58 .58
Average Coefficient = .60
Coefficient of Friction – Wet
.62 .66 .64
.60 .68 .64
.62 .70 .64
.64 .68 .64
Average Coefficient = .65
(the test results indicate that Cultured Concrete is less slippery when wet than dry)
