KEEP IT SIMPLE - OVERLAYMENTS

When existing slabs are not suitable for a diamond mechanical polish, contractors have leaned towards the innovative polishable overlay systems available in today's market. Runyon Surface Prep Rental & Supply is no stranger to all of these leading and sustainable systems.

Whichever system is specified, it's no secret that the process is costly, timely, and very temperamental to diamond abrasives. Over the last few years, with the spike in demand for polishable overlays, we have recognized an issue with the first cut of this process. After much innovation and collaboration with field experts, we are thrilled to say we have an innovation to share industry-wide!

The 3 key stages of installing polishable overlayments

• Preparation: ensuring the underlying slab is properly prepped with a CSP of 3-6. This can best be achieved with a 16–30-grit diamond grid.
• Priming: making sure the existing substrate is evenly coated with a priming chemical to assure no moisture will seep through the slab.
• Diamond Grind/Polish: This can be the most strenuous part of the process. All overlays have a polymer, sand, and cement makeup. The overlays have a very quick cure rate of hours as opposed to days. Within 16–24 hours, the material can reach up to 5000 psi.

Runyon Surface Prep Rental & Supply has always been known for listening to our clients and seeking solutions to their problems. Cutting the "skin" layer of an overlay can be very problematic. As the material becomes very hard, high polymer, and sand. Diamonds can glaze, leave rouge scratches, and make this entire process very strenuous. Traditionally, the industry has always used metals for the first cut. Until now…

The RSP G-Force Pads?are advanced abrasive technology that allows the contractor to cut and fully expose the appropriate profile, alleviating the need for a metal diamond for their first cut.

When polishing an overlay, we have to keep in mind that the procedure is time-sensitive; within 24 hours, the material will be approximately 5000 PSI. We suggest and encourage our customers to use the?RSP Hi-Shine Polishing Pads?for two main reasons: 1.) heat reduction, eliminating resin burns and transfer 2.) Hog hair cleans as resin abrasive polishes, minimizing sand pullouts.

This system has guaranteed the deepest clarity, consistent high gloss, and satisfied clients every time. See below:
