The Ultimate Stucco
Will not shrink, crack or allow moisture to enter the walls. Will adhere directly to all conventional building surfaces including Styrofoam. Only one coat required, Grancrete eliminates additional waterproofing saving on labor, materials and time. Walls are finished in less than a day.
Most uses have been as a basecoat and a conventional stucco color coat applied the same day.Roofing
Can be applied to new or existing roofs for a permanent, fireproof, weatherproof barrier
Driveways
Apply it directly over new or existing driveways for an extremely durable surface
Commercial
Streets, Curbs and Gutters, Highway and Bridge structural repair, Sewers, Waste Treatment Plants—will outlast any currently used surface. Completely impervious to road salt
Waterproofing
More durable and cost effective to apply than any current methods
Concrete Repair
Will form a structural bond to existing concrete with no special preparation
Foundation and Floor Repair
Eliminate costly “jacking up” repair jobs. Grancrete self levels
Showers
Grancrete is waterproof and highly workable for any conceivable shower design
Countertops
Combine Grancrete with numerous colors and aggregates to achieve a stone surface that will outlast and outperform any currently manufactured countertop options
Swimming Pools and Ponds
Will not deteriorate like current pool linings, will remain a crack and leak free pool for many generations
Decorative RockScapes
Design that exotic display that will last unlike currently used materials
Arts and Crafts
Can achieve just about any look you want that will last even if exposed to outdoor “acid rain”
Interior Walls
Creates the ultimate mold proof, waterproof, fireproof nearly indestructible surface or combine it with commonly available Styrofoam panels to create a premium sound insulating partition.
