Repairs and Resurfacing of Old Concrete Lamppost |
|
|
(click on thumbnails for enlarged photos) |
|
 |
This turn-of-the-century concrete lamppost has suffered substantial deterioration from the elements through the passing years. |
|
|
This deterioration has occurred in several areas in which there is angular detailing and shaping of this old lamppost. |
 |
The metal access cover-plate has also been rusted and discolored. |
 |
The lamppost, as well as the metal access cover-plate, have been nicely repaired and subsequently re-coated with the use of FUSION-CRETE II CRYSTALS, the powdered form of our vinyl/copolymer concrete-adhesive/enhancer. This product will permanently bond the repair concrete to concrete, asphalt, metal, wood, fiberglass, Styrofoam, masonry, tile and other surfaces. The metal access cover-plate was thoroughly cleaned, wire-brushed and primed prior to the application of a concrete coating. |
 |
Here you see the base of this lamppost beautifully restored, including all of the angular details of the lamppost's design. No forms were needed, as the dry repair mixture may be shaped and sculpted immediately after placement. The coating mixture was applied with a sponge, repeatedly dipped into a slurry mix, in order to achieve a texture similar to that of the original lamppost. |
 |
The top portion of this lamppost has also sustained minimal deterioration and weathering. |
 |
This photograph shows the upper portion of the lamppost following some minor repair work and the re-coating of the entire lamppost with a FUSION-CRETEŽ II CRYSTALS slurry mixture to camouflage the repair work and to give the lamppost a uniform, new look. |
