Knockdown Texture

What Is Knockdown Texture?

Knockdown texture is a decorative concrete finish created by spraying a thin overlay onto a surface and then lightly “knocking down” the peaks with a trowel. The result is a lightly textured, slip-resistant surface that adds visual depth while remaining cool underfoot—perfect for pool decks, patios, and walkways.

Benefits of Knockdown Texture

Homeowners and property managers love knockdown texture for its durability, beauty, and comfort. Here’s why it’s a smart, cost-effective surface upgrade:

Enhanced Durability

The acrylic-based overlay adds a protective layer that resists cracking, chipping, and surface wear—ideal for high-traffic outdoor areas.

Slip-Resistant & Comfortable

The lightly textured surface provides traction even when wet while staying cool to the touch, making it safer and more comfortable than plain concrete or tile.

Stylish, Custom Look

Knockdown texture can be tinted in a wide range of colors and patterns, allowing you to achieve a customized aesthetic that complements your home or business.

Low Maintenance

It’s easy to clean and maintain—just occasional washing and resealing to preserve its beauty and function.

Cost-Effective Upgrade

Compared to full concrete replacement, resurfacing with knockdown texture is more affordable, faster, and less disruptive to your space.

Our Knockdown Texture Installation Process

At San Jose Concrete Resurfacing, we follow a proven, efficient process to ensure top-quality results every time:

1. Surface Preparation

We clean, repair, and prime the existing concrete to ensure proper adhesion of the overlay.

2. Application of Overlay

A specially formulated acrylic-based mixture is sprayed evenly over the surface.

3. Trowel Knockdown Technique

While still wet, our technicians use a steel trowel to “knock down” the peaks, creating the signature texture.

4. Color and Sealing

We apply custom color tones and a durable sealer to protect against weather, stains, and UV exposure.

5. Final Inspection

Each project is reviewed for quality, finish consistency, and long-term performance.
