Durable Cement Options

Life Deck Specialty Coatings branded cement options offer a wide variety of textures, waterproofing ability and colors for residential, commercial and industrial applications. 

HIGH PSI CEMENTS WITH DECORATIVE AND WATERPROOFING OPTIONS FOR ABOVE AND BELOW GRADE APPLICATIONS.

Life Deck cements provide endless opportunity for different finish options. Many Life Deck and Americrete cements are used for decorative overlays when used with stains, sealers, acrylics and other options. Other cements, such as LD1, are typically used as a waterproofing cement with ICC-ES Class A Fire-Rated systems. Different cements are available to create a wide variety of colors and textures. Life Specialty Coatings also manufactures hydrostatic blocking cements for walls in below grade applications. In addition, Life Deck sloping cement for decks, and lightweight Level-Lite cement for roofs, help to divert water to drains. Typically, Life Deck cements are wet polymer added, while Americrete cements are dry polymer. Please read specification sheets before use on proper mixing ratios.
