How to do a Realistic Brick look concrete overlay is an easy and less expensive way to get the look of brick or custom brick...without the weight, mess or cost of using real brick or brick veneer. The benefits are...less cost, easier to apply, 100% coverage to the substrate means no delamination or water intrusion that can cause damage. Classic or custom looks, exact matching of existing and no longer available brick when patching or doing repairs and restoration, and it's concrete so it has 3000 psi when dry and will last as long as concrete. Take a look for yourself...when done right, You can't tell it's not real brick.
