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.
Common Applications
Knockdown texture is one of the most versatile decorative concrete finishes available. It’s ideal for both residential and commercial projects, including:
Walkways & Entries
Enhances curb appeal and improves safety.
Commercial Courtyards
Professional, low-maintenance finish suitable for public spaces.
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.
