ICRI Webinar — Aesthetic vs. Functional Concrete Repairs

REGISTER NOW

Program Description

There are many concrete repair products for cracks, spalls, repairs, and distress, though not all leave an appealing finish. Sometimes the aesthetics are not important to the repair, but in other cases the repaired concrete must look good and/or match its surroundings. This presentation will cover a number of ways to accomplish better-looking repairs. But what about those projects where ugly repairs have already been made? This presentation will also address how to improve the appearance of existing, unsightly repairs.

Learning Objectives

Through participating in this program, attendees will learn…

1. Best practices to accomplish aesthetic repairs on concrete
2. How to make existing ugly concrete repairs look better
3. Selection process for finding the best repair material and method
