Concrete Coating

Don’t Tear Up Your Old Concrete – Just Restore It With a Concrete Coating!

When concrete starts to chip and flake it can be a real eyesore. There is literally tons of concrete that is ripped up and discarded into various landfills every year, yet most of this concrete is still in good structural shape. There are certain exceptions, but most of the visible damage is cracking, and it can be restored with amazing results. The answer to this cosmetic damage is concrete coating.

"Concrete coating is also easy to maintain and proper maintenance can extend the life of the concrete...

There are various types of concrete coating, each offering different finishes of the final product.  The cracks are initially filled, a simple procedure, and then the chipping of flaking (also known as spalling) is removed. Finally a concrete coating is applied to the existing concrete, resulting in a beautiful finish that also resists the corrosive effects of weather. Concrete coating is both strong and durable, lasting years longer than traditional concrete. It is comprised of a unique blend of acrylics and cements resulting in an appealing finish.

Concrete coating is also easy to maintain and proper maintenance can extend the life of the concrete even longer. Maintenance requires pressure washing and simple resealing about every two to three years, depending on the amount of traffic wear and tear. Salt doesn’t affect the coating material and most stains can be easily washed off. Of course one should always be careful when using a snow shovel to not damage the coating.

If you want to change the look of your tired, cracked concrete – in a driveway, by the pool, or even indoors – there are many different types of concrete coatings coming in a wide variety of colors. There is even a slip resistant coating available for pool decks which really adds safety to the area. Basically any sound surface can be a candidate for coating.
