BOSS Resurfacing launches their new innovative Mega-Crete “High Definition” Stamped Patterned Concrete overlay system to the Decorative Concrete world just in time for the spring season of 2010. This amazing new innovative process has taken over four years to develop with over 150,000 square feet installed during the research and development stages. “For years, consumers have been looking for a higher quality more realistic decorative concrete option and we have finally figured out how to give it to them” says Keith Kimberlin- founder and product developer of the new Mega-Crete HD Compound. “With our Mega-Crete HD Compound and Mega-Crete “High Definition” Stamped Patterned Concrete overlay system, we are able to get the highest resolution, most realistic stamped concrete result on the market today second only to actual slate, stone brick and wood” says Kimberlin. “We have had people in our Grapevine showroom for over a half an hour before they realized they are actually walking on a concrete surface instead of wood plank flooring. The trick was in the development of the HD Compound combined with our proprietary installation processes. (developed by Kimberlin and his development crews over the last ten years).
Distributed and installed initially by Boss Resurfacing out of Grapevine Texas, the Mega-Crete product line has been sold in five other states thus far and is expected to be available nationwide within the next year or so. The proprietary Mega-Crete “High Definition” Stamped Patterned Concrete overlay system product and process is available and sold only to certified contractors who have taken the training class at the Boss Resurfacing training facility in Grapevine, Texas. The prospective installation contractors that attend this four day class can expect a rigorous training schedule that requires both memory retention, hands on evaluation and previous experience in the trade in order to pass the required test before the product can be purchased. “Quality is an attitude” says Kimberlin “and you can’t teach attitude. This business is not for everyone and that is why we don’t sell to everyone. The problem is, there is too many companies out there today that went to a two day ‘deminar’ at one of the, now many, local decorative concrete supply houses and left with just enough knowledge to get them in trouble. We train our customers on the science and provide unlimited technical support to help them to succeed. Let’s face it if they don’t succeed we don’t succeed”
Though the Mega-Crete “High Definition” Stamped Patterned Concrete overlay system product is now available, the main marketing launch will not begin until early 2010 where the initial focus will be in the North Texas area. Many companies, however; are beginning to offer Mega-Crete products to their customers but use Boss Resurfacing installation crews to install the product until their crews have passed the required project repetition requirements set by the Mega-Crete corporate office. Once it has been determined that the prospective companies crews have met the minimum requirements for installation they are observed for two projects before becoming certified installers of the system. The Boss Resurfacing crews are highly skilled individuals that have been trained in the are of HD Stamping and Boss resurfacing is currently one of five companies in the North Texas areas that even offer this amazing new product.
This Unique Mega-Crete “High Definition” Stamped Patterned Concrete overlay system and HD Compound installation process has been tested by traditional stamped concrete installers and a version of the HD Compound is being developed specifically for this process. Local companies such as Patterned Concrete of Dallas have shown interest in the HD compound and owner Randy Biernacki has show great interest in the prospect of possibly improving their process. “Anything that can help us get an edge I am willing to look at” says Biernacki “We are all about Quality and in our 25 year history our customers expect nothing less”.
This new Mega-Crete “High Definition” Stamped Patterned Concrete overlay system technology involves modifying the properties of the concrete surface material providing a smooth glasslike surface to stamp. When toweled in, the HD Compound mixes with the surface material (cream) essentially creating and integral surface admixture that modifies the properties of the surface resembling a polymer modified overlay system. The difference is that the new polymer modified material in the surface comingles with the matrix of the concrete (core) and hydrates simultaneously with the core creating a virtual polymer modified integral bond line that culminates at the hydration plane approximately 1/8”-1/4” below the surface of the cream. The HD stamping process is both chemical combined with technique and both are really important for the process to work. Testing on traditional stamping has yielded promising results and further testing will take place early in the spring when the threat of freezing weather has passed. Kelly Navarro, Quality Manager for a small independent concrete manufacturing company located in the Corsicana area, has indicated his interest in learning the technology behind the HD Compound. “Our interest is to possibly offer a product that will offer better ware properties for our concrete. The Mega-Crete HD Compound seems to modify the cream of the concrete allowing my customers to offer and up-grade product to their customer. This is a good thing for all of us.” Says Navarro “We are interested in distributing the HD Compound to our customers under a private label, but the details for that are still being worked on”
Many experts agree that this is truly an original concept in the decorative concrete world and, when made readily available, that we could be witnessing the next level in decorative concrete as we know it today.
