Concrete Coating Long Island
If you’ve ever seen pool decks or garage floors that look inexplicably decorative and fancy despite being made from concrete, chances are they were coated with a concrete or epoxy coating.
Concrete coatings are very popular for residential and commercial spaces, whether they’re indoor or outdoor. Here we’ll give you the rundown on concrete coatings and how Infinity Epoxy can help!
What is a concrete coating?
A concrete coating is a floor coating applied to concrete that has been cured and treated beforehand. There are many different substances that can be used for this, each of which has different physical and aesthetic properties.
Epoxy, polymer, and acrylic coating compounds are very popular.
Concrete coatings can be used for concrete floors both indoors and outdoors, covering everything from your indoor garage floor coating to exterior concrete paint for your driveway or patio.
Most concrete coatings come in neutral brown or gray colors. However, you can also get decorative designs that imitate pavers, slate, and brick, helping to tie the look of your property together while keeping surfaces protected.
For example, many poolsides are made from concrete coatings because they have great water resistance, they look aesthetically pleasing, and they can be made with a non-slip texture so they’re safer for swimmers.
Why use a concrete coating?
A coating for concrete is designed to make the surface look cleaner, more decorative, non-slip, longer-lasting, and easy to maintain.
Regular concrete surfaces often struggle with corrosion, dust, and decay due to things like moisture, mildew, extreme weather, oil spills, chemical spills and much more. However, concrete floors with epoxy coatings and concrete sealers are much harder to damage.
No one wants to worry about stains and damage!
As such, you’ll often see floors with a concrete or acrylic coating in places like car showrooms, factory floors, retail spaces, hospitals, garages, industrial kitchens, and more. If there’s a surface that needs to look good and be robust, yet it needs to be made from heavy-duty materials, you’ll often find coatings for concrete.
How long do concrete coatings last?
Concrete coatings last for many years with proper maintenance, though a lot obviously depends on how much the surface gets used, whether it’s indoor or outdoor, what the surface is used for, and how much trauma the concrete coating is put through over its lifetime.
For most concrete coatings installed by Infinity Epoxy, we find that they last 10-20 years on average.
If the floor is inside, it’s likely to be on the higher end of the scale. If the floor is outside and subjected to extreme weather and temperature changes, it’s likely to be a little lower. The better you maintain and care for your concrete coatings, the longer they generally last.
How much do concrete coatings cost?
Simple concrete coatings usually cost around $2 to $4 per square foot, though the price can vary depending on many factors, such as the scope of the work involved, the treatment necessary for the existing concrete, and the labor required to do the job.
It also depends on the product lines you’re looking for.
Thick, multiple-coat epoxy finishes with dazzling color and a glossy finish could cost anywhere up to $30 per square foot, but the effect is much more striking as a result. The more complex and aesthetic you want your project to be, the more it’s going to cost.
As with most things in life, you pay for what you get!
Can you epoxy a concrete patio?
Yes, you can epoxy a concrete patio.
Here at IEF, we often recommend epoxy coatings for patios. Epoxy has great waterproof qualities that make it perfect for damp outdoor areas like this. It also gives your poolside surfaces a glossy, impressive finish that elevates the feel of the patio area.
There are many epoxy products that can be used for a concrete patio!
