TCO

What Is TCO?

TCO (Thin Concrete Overlay) is a cement-based microtopping that is applied in a thin layer over existing concrete surfaces. It is designed to restore damaged, aged, or unattractive concrete while offering decorative possibilities such as textures, stains, and custom colors. The system is easy to mix and apply, requiring only water to create a workable overlay that spreads smoothly with common tools like trowels or squeegees.

Duravel engineered TCO to combine strength, durability, and design versatility in one easy-to-use product. The overlay delivers a high-quality finish while restoring old concrete, helping contractors and property owners create beautiful, long-lasting surfaces without replacing the entire slab.

If you’re looking for a reliable thin concrete overlay system that balances performance with decorative creativity, TCO is a proven solution for modern concrete resurfacing projects.

Typical Applications for TCO

TCO is commonly used to enhance and resurface concrete in both residential and commercial environments.

Residential Uses

• Interior floors and living spaces

• Kitchens and basements

• Patios and outdoor living areas

• Decorative walls and feature surfaces

Commercial Uses

• Restaurants and retail floors

• Showrooms and offices

• Decorative wall finishes

• High-traffic commercial surfaces

With creative finishing techniques, T.C.O. can mimic natural stone, wood grain, slate, or Venetian plaster textures, allowing contractors to create unique architectural designs.

Design Possibilities with Thin Concrete Overlay

One of the major advantages of TCO is its decorative flexibility. The overlay can be integrally colored or enhanced with stains and sealers to create custom finishes such as:

• Smooth modern concrete finishes

• Stenciled patterns and grout designs

• Wood-look or slate textures

• Venetian plaster-style walls

• Stain-ready decorative surfaces

This makes T.C.O. a powerful solution for decorative concrete resurfacing and microcement applications.
