The Encore Complete Countertop Refinishing System is an easy and economical way to update your kitchen by refinishing existing laminate, ceramic tile or other hard surface countertops. Encore’s low VOC (volatile organic compound) water-based cement system creates an elegant, durable, texture-rich look in just three days. A Perfect Finish Every Time with Layered Application Each layer of the Encore countertop system is applied as a “paper-thin” coat. (Day 1) – The Encore SuperBond offers superior inter-coat adhesion for any clean hard-surface countertop – even ceramic tile. (Day 2) – The layered Color Coats provide a beautiful textured look. For a smooth countertop with a variegated look, lightly sand between coats. If the slightly textured feel of raw concrete is preferred, just skip the sanding. (Day 3) – The combination of the ColorLock and ProGuard Finish system provides excellent stain, scratch and water resistance for your new Encore countertop. ProGuard was specifically designed to meet FDA standards for incidental food contact.
