Are you considering concrete finishes for your new construction project? In new construction the ability to speed up schedules and be flexible to changing field circumstances is crucial. Due to its fast installation times and application versatility, Semco is well suited to new construction applications. the demand for concrete finishes in new construction is growing. Unfortunately, conventional concrete is expensive and hard to work with.
challenges with creating concrete finishes in New construction:
- Formed concrete tends to have an irregular finish.
- Extensive polishing, coloring and finishing is needed on formed concrete.
- Regular concrete is prone to staining and needs extensive maintenance.

Benefits of Semco Concrete Finishes in New construction
While Semco can create the look of concrete it is actually a different material. Semco is primarily composed of pulverized marble. This gives it a smoother finish than concrete. concrete uses sand which has a larger grain. In addition, semco’s polymer binder allows it to bond very well even when applied in a thin application. this helps with door transitions. It also helps connect differing substrates. It can bridge floor and wall transitions. Additionally, it can be used both inside and outside. This connects the aesthetic in interior and exterior areas.
