Q. What is Techstone (Synthetic Rock System)?
A Techstone is a complete synthetic rock building system. Fast,
simple, effective and versatile, allowing you to take your
creativity to the next level.
Q Are Techstone boulders prefabricated?
A No, every Techstone boulder or feature is constructed on site.
You are in charge of every aspect of the creation, from the
exact placement through the final stain process.
Q What is Techstone made of?
A The Techstone Synthetic Rock System is made of 90% recycled
materials. We will teach you to utilize what you already have
and usually haul away. The main height and width is created out
of existing rubble or block if necessary. That is then covered
with a lightweight Filler Mix. Filler Mix is a Styrofoam
aggregate mixed with cement. The Filler Mix is used to create
the actual shape and size you want. Once dry, a Top Coat is
applied. The Top Coat allows you to color and texture your
feature.
Q What about leaks?
A No problem. One of the many features of Techstone is the
ability to install all of the plumbing after you have already
created watertight integrity. Once a water feature is completely
shaped and Top Coated, Pond Seal is applied. After applying two
coats of Pond Seal, a superior water barrier is formed. Plumbing
is then installed over the sides of the feature and covered with
addition Filler Mix to conceal the plumbing.
Q Do you use rebar and wire mesh to create a cage?
A No, under certain circumstances of needing to create a large
cantilevering rock construction of a cage is necessary.
Q How do I market the Techstone Synthetic Rock System to my
specific customer?
A Sales techniques, profit margins, and marketing are all
covered on the second day of the seminar. Everything you will
need to know to get this into your customers hands, will be
covered.
Q When is the next seminar for the Techstone?
A Regional Training Seminars are held every 5 to 6 weeks, all
year.
Q What tools and equipment are needed to get me started to
install Techstone?
A The materials needed are:
Wheelbarrow Round and square shovel
Buckets Dash brush
Rubber gloves Hose
Drill w/ mixing wand Shop Vac wet/ dry.
Optional equipment that will speed up installation:
Jackhammer Concrete Mixer
Compressor HVLP Spray Gun
Hopper Gun
Q Who can install Techstone?
A Only trained and approved contractors are eligible to purchase
and install these systems.
Q How can I register for a seminar?

Q What is Techstone Concrete Coating System?
A Techstone Concrete Coating System is an overlay product,
designed to cover existing concrete and give it a new and custom
look that is only limited by your imagination.
Q What is Techstone Concrete Coating System made of?
A Techstone Concrete Coating System consists of the following
materials:
Techstone Concrete Coating System Base Mix
Description: A high strength polymer modified grout mix used to
base of skim-coat over existing concrete, Kooldeck, of masonry
surfaces. The Base mix has a self-leveling quality that limits
trowel marks left on the surface.
Techstone Concrete Coating System Texture
Description: A high strength modified grout mix designed
specifically for replicating stone textures over existing
concrete, Kooldeck or masonry surfaces. Techstone Concrete
Coating System Texture is chemically designed to address the
many challenges of replicating natural stone textures.
ES Stone Strength Resin
Description: A polymer resin used to increase cohesion and
strengthen concrete masonry products. Stone-strength is
specifically formulated for a long pot life, rapid cure time and
extreme durability, which is required for decorative products.
Techstone Concrete Coating System Colorant
Description: A highly concentrated, alkali free, liquid
dispersing pigmentation system formulated specifically to
integrally color Techstone Concrete Coating System and Techstone
grout mixes. Techstone Concrete Coating System colorant is
available in a myriad of standard colors.
Tapes
Description: Techstone Concrete Coating System has analyzed the
shortcoming of stenciled, stamped and sprayed overlay products
and has subsequently developed a process for replicating stone,
tile, and slate. One of the keys to this system is the tape that
is used to create the patterning. Most tapes are not well suited
to the caustic and abrasive atmosphere of decorative concrete.
Some of the problems we have addressed are:
Tapes disintegrate, leaving fiber hairs everywhere.
Tapes are not flexible and grout bleeds underneath.
Tapes leave a glue residue after being pulled, causing
discoloring.
Euro Accent
Description: A pigmented polymer modified cementatious coloring
system formulated to achieve an authentic replication of natural
colors seen in rock and stone while maintaining the abrasion
resistance required in heavy traffic areas.
Techstone Thermo-Plastic Sealer
Description: A crystal clear, non-yellowing, premium quality
thermo plastic sealer used to seal concrete surfaces.
Thermoplastic Sealer is UV resistant and is perfectly suited for
concrete overlays, stamped concrete, exposed aggregate or any
other surface where penetration and wear resistance are
important.
Q How strong is Techstone Concrete Coating System?
A Stronger and harder than concrete. Once completely cured
Techstone Concrete Coating System has a compressive strength of
almost 8,000 PSI. Typical concrete has a rating of only 2000 to
2500 PSI.
Q What if my concrete has cracks?
A In most cases cracks can be opened up with a crack chaser,
filled in with a two-part high strength epoxy and covered with
Techstone Concrete Coating System.
Q Is Techstone Concrete Coating System like Kool Deck?
A No, Kool Deck is a material that needs to be applied to fresh
concrete in order to bond. Techstone Concrete Coating System can
be installed on concrete new or old. The same look and heat
retention qualities can be achieved with a longer life
expectancy using Techstone Concrete Coating System.
Q What colors does Techstone Concrete Coating System come in?
A The Techstone Concrete Coating System Base and the Techstone
Concrete Coating System Texture Coat are both white grout
mixtures. With a white grout mixture it gives you the option and
ability to match or create any color you want. Matching an old
house, a new house or any thing else is no problem.
Q Does Techstone Concrete Coating System look real?
A Yes, Techstone Concrete Coating System has been designed since
day one to give you an alternative to removing concrete while
keeping a natural look. The Techstone Concrete Coating System
Grout mixtures have been specially formulated to make emulating
a natural stone as fast and simple as possible. The Techstone
Concrete Coating System Base has been formulated to have
self-leveling qualities. The Techstone Concrete Coating System
Texture is formulated to make it easier to emulate stone, tile,
slate or many other natural textures.
Q Does Techstone Concrete Coating System crack?
With the existing concrete prepared properly any cracking
besides a occasional hairline.
