Update Old Surfaces With Exterior Epoxy Flooring
There’s a lot we can do to make your outdoor areas look amazing with exterior epoxy flooring:
- Combine mismatched slabs or tiles to create one seamless expanse
- Fix issues caused by weather, and finish with a sealer to protect for years to come
- Update tired old surfaces with a fresh modern finish to update the appearance, and add value to your home
- Apply slip-resistant coatings to make your external areas safe for all
Important considerations for exterior epoxy flooring
Ensuring you end up with right flooring solution for your external environment requires consideration of several aspects:
- Durability – the kind of usage that the area could be exposed to will affect the final specification. Will there be kids riding around on bikes, or mechanical equipment used, or the potential for chemical spills?
- Slip resistance – will the area be exposed to weather or regular splashing from a pool or spa? We will provide recommendations for the right level of slip resistance to be incorporated into the specification.
- Technical considerations – we will do a substrate review to ensure we recommend the right system. We will check for moisture & guide if the levels are too high. We'll provide guidance on products to be used & colour choices to counter the effects of the weathering process & specifically, UV stability & discolouration.
- Preparation requirements – we’ll help with remediation of any existing cracks, water damage and trip hazards and provide advice on whether there may be any potential for similar issues in the future.
Finish options
Tile/paver overcoating
In many circumstances, we can bring new life to an old shabby tiled area. We first assess that the area is a good candidate for our work.
We can remediate a certain small % of loose & drummy tiles before advising that a full rip up & removal is necessary.
Otherwise, most tiled areas, that were installed well can be overcoated. There are several processes with the end result being a seamless floor whereby you never even knew the tiles were there in the first place.
Paths & Patios
With bare concrete, over time, the concrete can wear and wear irregularly. Water dripping in one spot, exposure to unprotected areas, mould etc can all contribute to this causing a mismatched looking area.
With effective preparation, we can create a uniform finish throughout where you can't tell the old from the new or the areas of previous high wear to the areas that looked almost untouched.
Pool area
Epoxy coating around a pool area can provide a durable, safe and aesthetically appealing finish that enhances the overall look.
We offer a wide range of colours and product options, and provide expert advice to ensure that you end up with the right specification for your area. Its important that the final finish provides slip resistance and minimises UV degradation.
