Spring is approaching fast, which means you’re finally able to spend more time outside again. But what if your outdoor space is starting to look a little too worn? Concrete is one of the most common materials used for a patio floor, but over time it’s prone to spalling, discoloration, and cracks.
You’ll find a variety of solutions to this problem. The most expensive and time-consuming is to tear out the old concrete slab to pour a new one. Another option is to cover the old concrete with decorative pavers. Or you can go simple and resurface your existing concrete patio.
Options are plentiful for patio floor coatings, but self-priming, pure polyaspartic coating is cost-effective and popular. SLG Concrete Coatings will get your floor resurfaced and looking new again in one visit, so call today for a free consultation.
When You Should Resurface Your Concrete Patio
You know your patio needs some TLC, but you’re not sure if resurfacing is the right choice. The good news is there are a few things you can try first. If your patio is looking dingy or has stains, you should try pressure washing before anything else. A good pressure washing might be all it takes to get your patio looking new again.
However, if your patio has spalling or cracks, then resurfacing might be the best choice. You have multiple options when it comes to patio floor coatings.
Some porch floor ideas are:
- Deck flooring
- Pavers
- Tiles
- Paint
- Concrete coating
Some options are inexpensive and relatively easy for the DIY adventurer. On the other hand, you can have professionals come in to take care of your patio coatings and save your energy for decorating your newly refurbished outdoor space.
Some patio decorating ideas include:
- Outdoor string lights
- Outdoor couches
- Firepit
- Gardens or faux plants
- Outdoor dining sets
- Outdoor bench swing
- Large floor rug
Is Resurfacing a DIY Project?
You can find certain types of concrete coatings at your local hardware store. But before you can apply the coating, you will need to fill any cracks and repair any other damage to the floor. So, while it can be a do-it-yourself project, it’s one you may not be ready or able to take on.
One quick and easy way to spruce up your patio floor is by painting. Not only is painting inexpensive, but it also gives you a chance to customize your space with a unique design. However, this is something you’ll need to do regularly to keep it looking nice.
Another option would be to lay pavers or tiles over your existing concrete, though this can be time-consuming.
No matter how many DIY options exist, sometimes it’s a job best left to the pros. When you’re looking for durable and stylish results that won’t need constant maintenance, epoxy concrete coatings can’t be beaten. Not only is it less likely to stain, but it’s also durable enough to withstand UV rays, weather extremes, and more.
