An outdoor-rated polyaspartic system for concrete patios — UV-stable, built for freeze-thaw, and a lot easier to keep clean than bare concrete.
A patio sees sun, rain, snow, and salt in ways a garage floor never does. We use UV-stable polyaspartic systems for exterior work specifically because standard indoor epoxy will yellow and break down under direct sunlight within a season or two. The result is a sealed, easy-to-clean surface that resists staining from bbqs, planters, and muddy boots.
Exterior pricing depends on existing concrete condition, drainage, and square footage — confirmed in writing at your on-site quote.
Bare concrete patios pit and stain over a few Calgary winters — salt, freeze-thaw, and UV all take a toll. Sealing it properly now is a lot cheaper than replacing cracked concrete later.
Yes, when the right system is used. A polyaspartic or epoxy/polyaspartic hybrid system is UV-stable and flexible enough to handle freeze-thaw cycles, unlike a straight indoor epoxy which isn't built for exterior exposure.
We can add a slip-resistant additive to the top coat for outdoor patios — worth mentioning at your quote if the space gets rain, snow, or pool splash.
A properly installed exterior system typically holds up for many years, though direct sun and winter salt exposure mean outdoor floors see more wear than an indoor garage. We'll walk through realistic expectations at your quote.
