Concrete Broom Overlay Mix For Driveways and Sidewalks by SureCrete
SureBroom™ is the premier high-strength thin broom concrete overlay for extremely used trafficked areas. Its formulation is designed to transform old, spalling, broken concrete to a freshly broom surface as well as cracked resurfacing concrete. Typical areas requiring SureBroom concrete broom overlay include high rise parking decks, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, and retail storefronts. Although designed to be broomed, it may also emulate the many designer looks of other thin overlays. SureBroom™ may be applied with a concrete broom or by a combination of compressed air spray equipment and trowel and or squeegeed. Restoration, repair, resurfacing, architectural accenting, surface protection, and creating slip resistance of existing concrete are all realized through SureBroom™. It is prepared with gray cement or white cement to accept Color Packs. SureBroom™ decorative overlay is the perfect product for restoring a "fresh" broomed concrete look to cracked or otherwise old slabs and substrates. Being able to simply resurface an old and worn concrete slab can make for a huge cost saving in lieu of completely removing the old concrete surface and pouring a completely new slab. This broom concrete overlay can be applied over very large surface areas including driveway concrete and concrete sidewalks resurfacing with ease utilizing a relatively small crew. It is also simple enough that a homeowner can apply it on his own concrete home driveway or sidewalk to give a view of a brand new surface and easier than our competitors quikrete concrete resurface and concrete stamped process.

How Do You Apply SureBroom Concrete Broom Resurface Concrete Overlay Mix?
SureBroom can easily transform any surface in need of restoration:
- Any surface receiving a cement-based coating must be clean, cured, sound and profiled. See our Surface Preparation products for more information on accomplishing this
- Make sure that temperatures will remain between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit and there will be no precipitation in the applied areas for a 48 hour period following application.
- Add 4 - 6-1/2 quarts water per 50 lb bag to 5 gal bucket and mix in any color desired for the integral coloring of SureBroom concrete broom overlay.
- Slowly introduce SureBroom while continuously mixing and mix for a minimum of 1 minute once all product has been emptied into the container. Scrape the sides of the bucket to make sure there are no "dry pockets" that didn't get mixed properly.
- Mist the surface of the concrete with water ahead of any areas about to receive SureBroom.
- SureBroom concrete broom overlay can be applied by trowel, squeegee or boom depending upon desired texture.
- If you need a second coat of SureBroom concrete broom overlay, simply wait until the surface is properly cured - approx 2-6 hours. A second coat can be applied same as the first coat. Make sure to scrape away excess material from first coat before applying the finish.
- Once the concrete broom overlay surface has dried and cured sufficiently (approx 2-6 hours), it can accept stains and secondary colorants, and is also ready to receive a sealer. Typical outdoor applications would utilize a acrylic sealer from our SureSeal line of products.
Frequently Asked Questions About SureBroom concrete broom overlay:
Do I have to use two coats of SureBroom concrete broom cracks overlay mix?
Not necessarily. It depends on completely on the views concrete design your looking for and the substrate you’re working with.
Why are there different colors and cracks shadowing through my SureBroom
coating?
SureBroom is applied at such a thin rate that imperfections will likely show through” in the first coat of the product, this would be a case where a second the coat would likely be desired even with resurfacing driveway surfaces.

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** SureBroom is the premier high-strength thin broom concrete overlay for extreme trafficked areas. Its formulation is designed to transform old, spalled, dull concrete to a freshly broomed surface. Typical areas requiring SureBroom include high rise parking decks, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, and retail store fronts. Although designed to be broomed, it may also emulate the many designer looks of other thin overlays. SureBroom may be applied with a concrete broom or by a combination of compressed air spray equipment and/or trowel / squeegee. Restoration, repair, resurfacing, architectural accenting, surface protection, and creating slip resistance of existing concrete are all realized through SureBroom. Typical areas include parking decks, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots or any horizontal concrete surface requiring repair of spalled areas, low spots, etc. SureBroom is applied with a base coat using squeegees and then broomed. A finish coat is applied and broomed creating a slip resistant finish that is ready to be sealed to protect against staining. On irregular slabs requiring extensive patching, it is recommended to use Flash Patch and/or Deep Level. Used with SureCrete's acrylic sealers imparts greater resistance to salts and attack from acids and alkali. Delete if not required.

- If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
- PREPARATION
- Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
- Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
- Prepare exterior surfaces with chemical cleaner/profiler followed by rinsing with 3000-psi (20670 kPa) (minimum) pressure washer equipped with a turbo-tip to remove loose surface matrix and loose aggregate.
- INSTALLATION
- Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
- CONCRETE RESTORATION / CONCRETE REPAIR
- Remove all laitance, efflorescence, chemical contaminants, grease, oil, old paint, and other foreign matter. The surface shall require profiling. Sand blasting, grinding or abrasive blasting may be necessary achieve bare concrete.
- The prepared surface shall be clean and structurally sound.
- The substrate must be 40 degrees F (4 degrees C) and rising before installation. The surface at 90 degrees F (32 degrees C) and above shall be cooled before installation. Dampen area with fog tipped sprayer before using, leaving no puddles.
- Mix consistency shall be maintained throughout the application process. Do not apply in layers greater than 2 inches (51 mm). No tempering with additional water is allowed. Begin application immediately after mixing with water and work thoroughly into the surface of the area to be filled. Do not overwork. Minimize troweling.
- CONCRETE RESTORATION / CEMENTITIOUS TOPPING
- Base Coat: Mix product with water per manufacturer's instructions. Mechanically mix to a lump-free consistency.
- Begin by saturating area to be covered with water. Before application of base coat, remove any excess water leaving no puddles. The surface shall be saturated, surface dry (SSD).

- Finish Coat: Mix finishes coat same as the base coat mix ratios.
- Begin by saturating the base coat with water, leaving no standing puddles, SSD.
- Place material with steel squeegee and lightly broom. As product dries, scrape and use a leaf blower to remove loose material.
- Apply two coats of selected sealer.
- Curing: Allow to air cure after application.
