Coating your exterior concrete surfaces can transform your outdoor living space. The right concrete coating can revitalize your space by adding durability and style to your patio, pool deck, or outdoor walkway.
What Are Outdoor Concrete Coatings?
A polyurea polyaspartic coating is a protective layer applied to concrete surfaces to improve their durability, aesthetics, and functionality. Coatings can be indoors (garages and basements) or outdoors (pool decks, patios, and walkways).
Why Coat Your Outdoor Concrete
Because of polyurea’s durability, longevity, and price, it is a popular choice for outdoor concrete spaces. Outdoor spaces are especially vulnerable to the elements, making concrete coatings a smart choice for homeowners and commercial businesses alike. Given Cleveland’s varying weather throughout the year, it’s even more crucial to protect your concrete from the season’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Here are some ways your outdoor space could benefit from concrete coating:
UV protection
Just as you protect your skin from excessive UV, your concrete can also be damaged by the sun’s rays. Concrete coating will also protect against color fading, which is caused by UV light.
Durability
Polyurea polyaspartic coating is 4 times more durable than standard epoxy coatings. This makes your concrete resistant to scratches and chips that can be caused by patio furniture or other outdoor fixtures. Also, normal wear and tear from foot traffic is significantly reduced thanks to polyurea’s durability.
Sustainability
Besides polyurea’s functional and aesthetic benefits, it is also a sustainable choice. There are no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) used in the formula, which are compounds that often have adverse health effects.
Aesthetics
Coating your outdoor concrete space with polyurea beautifies your outdoor space. With a range of colors and finishes, it’s a way to modernize and refresh your patio or pool deck. It’s the perfect way to match your home’s interior and exterior for an enhanced look.
Value
If you’re looking to sell your home, an outdoor concrete coating is an instant upgrade to your home’s curb appeal. The aesthetic alone can increase your property value from 5-11%. It also produces a great return on investment from the positive impact on your home’s market value.
Types of Outdoor Coating Projects
At Cleveland Concrete Coatings, we offer outdoor concrete coating for patios, pool decks, outdoor walkways, and more.
Patio
If you’re looking to give your patio a little more “oomph,” a concrete coating may be just the trick. Your patio is an extension of your living space: a place where you can socialize, play, dine, and relax. It’s important that it’s comfortable and beautiful like the rest of your home.
If your patio is old, outdated, or lacking a certain appeal, it may be time for an upgrade. A polyaspartic coating will modernize your patio’s look while increasing its functionality. Cleveland summers don’t last forever, so there’s no time to waste to enjoy that outdoor space!
Pool Deck
“Slippery when wet!” is a common sign to see at public pools and swimming areas. According to accident reports, approximately 155,000 injuries occur annually due to slips and falls around swimming pools.
Your pool deck deals with a lot of foot traffic, pool chemicals, and of course, water. A polyurea concrete coating on your pool deck offers many benefits, including:
- Slip resistance
- UV protection
- Comfort on bare feet
Another option for our pool deck concrete coating is our LuxuryStone Flooring. This polyurethane-based resin stone flooring option is made of natural stone aggregate and polyurethane resin. Not only is it an upgrade on the aesthetic side of your pool area but it also has a superior slip resistance compared to other traditional epoxy stone flooring options out there. While the initial cost might be a bit more than our other flooring options, it’s well worth the investment to keep your pool deck cool in the summer and improve the lifespan in the process.
Not to mention, an outdoor concrete coating can upgrade the look of your pool area to create the perfect summer oasis. We can’t wait to dive in!
Concrete Walkways
Outdoor walkways connect different parts of your home or business. It’s important that they are aesthetic and functional like your other outdoor and indoor concrete surfaces. Just as it is with pool decks and patios, your walkways are susceptible to damage from the elements. That’s why polyaspartic polyurea is popular for these spaces too!
