System and method for exposed aggregate architectural coating for exisiting concrete structures

Abstract

The invention is a method and a kit for preparing and applying an exposed aggregate architectural coating to an existing concrete structure. One method includes preparing a first composition by combining sand with cement and preparing a second composition by combining water with glue. The coating is formed by combining the first composition with the second composition. The coating is then applied to the roughened surface of the pre-existing cement structure by evenly spreading the coating onto the roughened surface to create an even thickness of the coating. Notably, combining the first composition with the second composition occurs prior to applying the coating to the roughened surface of the pre-existing cement structure. To facilitate this method, a kit that includes the first and second compositions may be provided. The resulting applied coating will have an exposed aggregate finish that is durable and suitable for high vehicular and pedestrian traffic areas.
