QUIKRETE® Re-Cap Concrete
Resurfacer Chosen as One of This Year’s Honorees
SAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Award–QUIKRETE® is proud to have its new Re-Cap Concrete Resurfacer
recognized as one of the TOH Top 20 Building Materials of the Year.
Curated by This Old House magazine’s editors after months of research,
review, testing, and input from industry pros, The TOH Top 20 Building
Materials of the Year list continues the brand’s tradition of crowning
the freshest, game-changing products of the year for construction and
remodeling projects.
“We were impressed to see so many innovative building-product launches
this year which made winnowing down the field especially challenging,”
said Thomas Baker, TOH Building Technology Editor.
In naming QUIKRETE® Re-Cap Concrete Resurfacer to the list,
This Old House said, “Historically, the products used to smooth rough,
spalled concrete have had a tendency to peel off. But this
polymer-modified mix won’t. It forms a chemical bond with its substrate
that’s so tenacious it’s stronger than the concrete itself.”
Designed as an easy, affordable and effective way to renew old, worn out
concrete driveways, sidewalks and patios, QUIKRETE® Re-Cap
Concrete Resurfacer is a proven shrinkage compensated repair material
four times stronger than the concrete itself. Applied with a squeegee,
trowel or brush, one 40-pound bag will cover approximately 20
square-feet at 1/4 inches thick or approximately 90 square feet as skim
coat. The renewed concrete, which cost 90 percent less to resurface than
replace, can be walked on in eight hours and driven on time of 24 hours.
