By investing in our concrete coatings, you ensure your patio remains in top condition for many years to come.
Why Coat Your Concrete Patio?
Concrete patio coatings offer a variety of benefits beyond simple aesthetics.
Aesthetic Transformation: Our coatings can transform your patio into a visually appealing outdoor space. Whether you desire a sleek, modern look or a rustic finish, we have a concrete floor coating that complements your style and enhances your home's appeal.
Weather Resistance: A quality coating provides a moisture barrier, preventing damage from rain and snow. It also makes it easier to clean up accidental spills and debris, reducing the maintenance required to keep your patio looking great.
Enhanced Durability: Coated concrete patios are designed to withstand various weather conditions and resist stains from spills and debris. This resistance helps maintain the appearance of your patio while reducing the need for frequent upkeep.
Choosing the Right Coating for Your Patio
Selecting the right coating is essential for enhancing your patio's beauty and durability. At Empire Coating Solutions, we offer several popular options, each with unique benefits.
Polyaspartic Coatings: These coatings create a protective layer that guards against extreme weather and UV rays, ensuring your patio remains beautiful longer.
Epoxy Flake Systems: Ideal for high-usage patios, these systems offer a robust, slip-resistant finish that is resistant to chemicals and heavy foot traffic.
Quartz Floors: Similar to epoxy flake systems, quartz floors provide an exceptionally durable surface for high-traffic areas.
When choosing, consider the level of foot traffic your patio endures and the weather conditions in your area. Our experts can help you select the perfect coating to match your overall outdoor design and create a cohesive, stunning space.
The Importance of Proper Preparation
Before you start to coat a concrete patio, it's crucial to ensure that the surface is clean and repaired. This is the most important step for a successful, long-lasting finish.
Clean the Surface: Begin by sweeping away all debris. Use a pressure washer or a scrub brush with a suitable cleaning solution to remove any stains, grease, or mildew. The patio must be completely dry before moving on.
Repair Imperfections: Inspect the surface for cracks or holes. Fill these with a concrete patching compound to create a smooth, even base for your coating.
Surface Grinding: To ensure optimal adhesion, you must mechanically prepare the surface. A concrete grinder or hand grinder will create an ideal surface profile. This step is non-negotiable for a professional, long-lasting result.
By following these preparation steps, you will set the stage for a successful and long-lasting concrete patio coating.
