Premium Decorative Concrete Solutions
Duravel Technology Overview
Durável leverages modern cement technology and advanced polymer-modified formulations to deliver concrete overlays, sealers, stains, and repair products engineered for durability, versatility, and ease of application. Their mixes are optimized for use with the newer Portland-Limestone Cements (PLC), which improves long-term strength, adhesion, and performance under traffic and environmental stress.
Product Lineup
Overlays
Durável’s overlay portfolio ( SOM, TSO, TCO, TRO) is designed to restore, resurface or dramatically upgrade existing concrete surfaces — from plain slabs to decorative stamped or textured finishes.
Protection, Color, and Performance
Durável offers a range of sealers, stains, colorants, bonding agents, and additives that protect, enhance, and finish concrete surfaces with durability and design versatility.
Duravel FAQ
What makes Durável overlays different from traditional concrete resurfacing?
Their overlays are formulated with advanced PLC-based mixes and polymer-modified blends that provide superior adhesion, strength (compressive, flexural, tensile), and long-term durability compared to older resurfacing methods. They’re designed for vehicle-rated traffic, freeze/thaw cycles (where applicable), and deliver consistent, reproducible results with bag-mix convenience.
Can Durável overlays be applied over existing concrete without full tear-out?
Yes — that’s one of their main advantages. Overlays like SOM (stamped), TSO (textured), or TCO (thin microtopping) can be applied over existing concrete slabs, allowing for aesthetic upgrades or repairs without the cost and disruption of removal and re-pouring.
What kind of finishing and protection does they recommend after overlay installation?
Durável recommends sealing with their specialized clear or colored acrylic sealers (e.g. DV-30) for UV resistance, stain resistance, chemical/abrasion resistance, and enhanced longevity. For decorative overlays, integral or topcoat pigmentation is available via their color systems.
How does Durável address safety (slip resistance) and installation ease?
Through additives — for example, D-Grip is a non-slip additive for broadcast into wet overlays or coatings to enhance traction on pool decks, walkways, patios, or other potentially wet surfaces. Liquid Release helps during stamping/texture application by preventing stamps/tools from sticking, making the installation process cleaner and more efficient.
Are Durável overlays suitable for vehicle traffic or commercial use?
Yes — certain overlays, especially the traffic-rated ones like Durável TRO, are fiber-reinforced, self-bonding, and engineered to handle heavy traffic — including driveways, parking areas, loading docks, or commercial floors.
Does Durável help provide specifications for commercial applications?
Yes. They offer technical guidance, mix recommendations, and system specifications suitable for commercial projects such as retail spaces, restaurants, multifamily developments, public walkways, and vehicle-rated surfaces. Their product documentation outlines performance metrics, substrate requirements, installation procedures, and compatible sealers/additives — giving architects, engineers, and contractors reliable specifications for bidding, design, and compliance. For larger or specialized projects, Durável can also assist distributors and contractors with system selection to ensure the correct overlay or sealer technology is used for the intended commercial environment.
