The Concrete Resurfacing Network Institute (CRNI) represents the teaching, training, and research center of the Concrete Resurfacing Network (CRN), a division of Quality Concepts, LLC.

CRN has an ambitious development program, geared specifically for the Decorative Concrete and Concrete Resurfacing industry. The expansion is geared towards an aggressive e-commerce campaign, and attending local and international trade-show exhibitions, such as the World of Concrete.

The Decorative Concrete Resurfacing industry is still in its infancy, and the popularity of decorative concrete is growing rapidly, both here and abroad. CRN has a diversified and pro-active approach to Concrete Resurfacing. The management team has over twenty years of hands-on application experience, and an objective for unsurpassed excellence. It is uniquely positioned to expand and establish its leadership position.

CRNI offers a unique training curriculum, with free consultation to contractors and entrepreneurs from all across the US and Internationally. The Decorative Concrete Industry represents a major segment of the Concrete Industry, and CRNI is poised to offer its programs in virtually every state, as well as overseas.

Patrick Soler, CRN co-founder and executive director, is an active participant in the decorative concrete forum, focusing on the cutting edge advances of the industry. Patrick's hands-on experience, coupled with an extensive Research and Development program, resulted in specific formulations and application standards within the Decorative Concrete and Resurfacing Industry, as well as Vertical Wall systems.

Today, CRNI offers classes on exclusive and proprietary cement finish systems, such as:

 Vertacrete™ Direct Exterior Finish Systems
 VertaStone™ featuring natural stone finishes
 Foam2stone™ architectural foam coatings
 FoamStone™ architectural foam shapes and moldings
 Xtremetops™ Countertop resurfacing - Coming Spring of 2006

CRNI also offers a unique course on Substrate Stabilization™, which features revolutionary & proprietary products which warrant a virtually failure-proof overlay system. By the Spring of 2006, CRNI plans to introduce a new curriculum on a revolutionary countertop resurfacing program.

The Concrete Resurfacing Network Institute continues to conduct tests in order to improve the performance of resurfacing products. We are currently working on new formulations for our ¼" stamped overlay system to further reduce failures risks, and improve its performance to the highest possible standards.

CRNI's material research and development program, using proven application methods, results in outstanding performance. Our recommended systems offer a virtually "failure free" finish, with unsurpassed waterproofing, excellent color retention, and abrasion wear resistance.

CRN and CRNI approved products are featured on www.in2crete.com and are easily recognized by the Stamp of Approval on the label.
