Ideas on Concrete Coatings

There are various reasons for coating concrete.  If you are being practical minded coating concrete protects the surface giving it additional resistance to wear and tear which increases its lifespan.  Coatings can also be decorative, to the point of transforming the cement surface into a work of art.

Besides giving the area a professional look, cleanups will be as easy as wiping a kitchen counter.  An entrance or pathway can be transformed into one that is more elegant and definitely unique.   A patio blends the interior with the exterior of your house.  A more relaxing and inviting atmosphere can easily be made using decorative concrete coatings. Choices become endless when different colors and patterns are combined.   

• Stain brings uniqueness in the form of color that penetrates the cement


• Stamped gives patios, driveways and walkways a cost effective alternative to pavers


• Epoxy keeps the surface looking good due to its toughness, durability, and resistance to oil, grease, and most other chemicals that ruin regular paint


• Polishing gives a look that is similar to a traditional terrazzo finish


• Exposed Aggregate displays the natural beauty of stones


• Broom finishing makes the surface slip-resistant


• Acid stain gives a natural looking color pattern with mottled shades of the same hue


• Overlay inexpensively spruces up a floor by adding color and design through the method of pouring a layer of tinted polymer over the cement


• Add a personal touch to your design; paint or add the family initials to an entranceway. 


• Add style to your walkway with a myriad of colors and designs.
