Concrete Texture



Today's step was the texturing and painting of the concrete.

This reminds me of texturing a ceiling.... a coating is sprayed onto the concrete and allowed to harden. This "ridged" pebble coating is then painted with a special (obviously non water soluble) paint.




The first picture on the left shows the texture material itself being sprayed on - the second shows one of the crew smoothing that texture out and preparing the surface for the final painting coat.
