Thanks for the info. I appreciate it very much.
I went to Kalman website and didn't see anything specifically for traprock
finish. I looked at their brochure and they mention a "monorock" finish
which I assume is similar to a traprock finish.
I used to thick that traprock was just a generis name for a blend of
coarse aggregate in the concrete. I recently learned it is just a surface
treatment of the concrete slab. What I would like to know is how a
traprock finish differs from a dry shake surface hardener such as
Masterplate 200. They are both put on during the finishing process and
worked into the surface. Is traprock a cheaper alternative to a dry shake
hardener? Is it a generic name or a proprietary product?
Thanks for any additional help.
Rich

Can someone lead me to a good website that explains a traprock slab
finish. IÂ'm looking for how to specify the application and a good
explanation of what it is.
Thanks.
Rich
