The Overlay That Architects Actually Want

Edition 10 | March 14, 2025

Generally, architects want concrete to look like concrete. However, It’s rare to discover tight, smooth walls every time forms are removed. Now we have a real problem: most overlays don’t feel right. They’re too plasticky, too soft, too artificial.

FirmeCrete is different. It’s the only overlay that looks, feels, and performs like cast-in-place concrete. The texture, the density, the way it wears over time—everything about it says real concrete, because it is.

Recently, this played out at a Cuppett Kilpatrick house in the prestigious 78703 area. No other overlay would have been approved to set this right.
