Compounds and decorative overlays can be used to prepare, build or finish a surface depending on the product. The category must distinguish a levelling, patching or decorative product and set out the exact system components required for the intended result.
Identify the product’s role
A decorative overlay, microcement-style finish, patching compound and levelling product have different preparation, thickness and finish requirements. Use the supplier classification and avoid grouping them under vague “concrete products” language.

Finish, protection and maintenance

Surface assessment and preparation
The substrate condition can determine adhesion, cracking risk and finish. Moisture, contamination, movement, strength, flatness and existing coatings may need assessment and mechanical preparation.
Mix, thickness and working time
Provide package contents, water or component ratio, mixing method, working time, application thickness, recoat window, cure and coverage from the TDS. Conditions such as temperature and humidity can change the practical timing.
