Bring your Patio Back to Life with a Skyline Floor Coating
The patio reflects your style, so let us help you make it look its best. Ensuring your flooring is slip-resistant along with aging prevention is necessary for safety and durability. Over time your patio can take extensive damage, and breakdown can happen from things like:
- Salt
- Weather
- Chemicals
- Water corrosion
- Wear and tear
- Mold or mildew
Skyline Concrete Coating has many restoration options to choose from, including brickwork, various colorants, and textural possibilities to create a sturdy and beautiful patio.
While an epoxy coating is a possible choice, we offer a much more durable option. With a high-quality polyurea floor, you get the lustrous finish that epoxy offers while withstanding more wear. A Polyurea coating is the quality choice when it comes to refinishing your patio to help ensure your patio or terrace is free of stains, dulling, and scuffing.
What Makes Polyurea a Better Choice?
Epoxy flooring for homes used to be a standard option, but now a polyurea covering is your absolute best choice. Because Polyurea is an elastomer, it gives your floor a 2 to 3-millimeter coating due to its thickness, and because it is an elastomer, it is 98% more flexible than Epoxy. Polyurea also has an additional 300% of “stretchiness” that improves floor cushioning, saving it from wear and tear. Polyurea is also much easier to apply than epoxy and bonds more effectively on surfaces.
Skyline Concrete Polyurea coating also offers you flexural strength with four times the resistance to chemicals, dampness, and exceptional durability compared to Epoxy.
Unlike Epoxy, Polyurea is UV-resistant and is able to support the integrity of your flooring to avoid discoloration and breakdown from sunlight and the weather.
Epoxy is also slower than Polyurea to cure, which means it has a bumpier finish and is more susceptible to cracking and peeling.
Polyurea offers a finish that promotes antimicrobial options to help you rest easy about sanitation and provides much higher resistance to temperatures.
Compared to Epoxy, there is a clear contrast of why Polyurea by Skyline is your very best coating choice.
Why do I want to Refinish my Patio?
Having a Polyaspartic floor coating will not only revitalize this extension of your home but could also create more safety and less work. One crucial area consider is if your concrete patio has paving stones installed in it. These stones may have gaps that can create a risk of tripping, and promote the growth of pesky weeds in between the cracks. By applying Polyurea covering-you are contributing to preventing both possibilities.
- If your patio has unappealing fractures, stains, or blemishes, Skyline can help. Our professional installers are qualified experts in creating a look you love that will cover most faults we find.
- We can design the sensation of pavers or the impression of brick and granite to help enhance the aesthetics. We have many options available as well, so we can seal the surface, produce the look you desire, and add overall value to your home.

Polyaspartic Floor Coatings dry more quickly than Epoxy Floor Coatings, and the finish is also more durable. Our floor concrete coating finishes are also more slip-resistant and will not discolor like some Epoxy Floor Coatings.
How Long Do I Need To Stay Off My Concrete Floor Coating After It Is Installed?
Our flooring cures within a few hours, however our team of professionals recommends waiting at least 4-6 hours before walking on your brand-new concrete coated flooring. After 12 hours, you can begin moving lightweight objects onto the flooring, like light patio furniture. We recommend waiting a full 24 hours before moving anything heavy back into the area where we have applied the coating (your car, heavy equipment or furniture etc.).
Will My New Concrete Floor Coating Turn Yellow?
It sure will not! Our concrete floor coverings will not yellow or discolor, because they are UV stable. This one of the many benefits of using Polyurea or Polyaspartic floor coatings.
Will I Need To Reseal My Concrete Floor Coating?
If you follow our maintenance and cleaning guidelines, you should not have to worry about resealing the concrete floor coating because it will help you to preserve the life of your concrete coating topcoat.
How Long Does It Take You To Apply Concrete Floor Coatings?
We have perfected our 6-step application process and most projects take between 5-10 hours to apply depending on the square footage. We pride ourselves in a one-day application and will do everything possible to stay within that time frame. Rainy weather can delay the project, but it is rare.
How Do I Care For My Concrete Floor Coating?
You can clean our concrete coatings with typical sweeping, mopping, or steaming, and hoses. However, you can also use non-abrasive cleaners, like CLR® to remove grease or other stains.
Will Oil Stain My Concrete Floor Coating?
Our coatings are oil-resistant as well as moisture resistant.
Who Invented Polyaspartic Coatings?
Bayer Material Science first developed Polyaspartic coatings in the 1990s to protect steel bridges and infrastructure from rusting and corrosion. It has since been modified for different applications, such as extremely durable concrete flooring coatings.
What Are Polyaspartic Concrete Coatings?
Polyaspartic Concrete coating is another name for Aliphatic Polyurea, which is a hybrid material consisting of ester and other materials. It was originally developed to coat metal bridges. It was later used to coat concrete flooring due to its durability and moisture resistance. Polyurea is also used to coat truck bed liners.
Can Polyaspartic Floor Coatings Be Used Outside?
They sure can! We offer wonderful solutions for driveways, patios, and even the area around the pool. Our coatings are all UV stable, which will help prevent discoloration or flaking.
What Types Of Environments Can Polyaspartic Floor Coatings Be Used?
Polyaspartic flooring coatings can be used in a variety of environments. The durability, slip resistant finish is fantastic for any industrial setting, storefronts, patios, or even driveways or garages.

We have perfected a six step process for applying Polyaspartic Floor Coatings that involves prepping the floor, basecoating, applying chips, scraping the chips, and applying the clear UV protective clear coat.
Can Polyaspartic Floor Coatings Be Applied In Cold Temperatures?
You can! Polyaspartic floor coatings are safe to apply in temperatures as cold as 40 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit).
How Long Do Polyaspartic Floor Coatings Take To Dry?
Our Polyaspartic Floor Coatings are engineered to rapidly cure, and can be dry in a matter of a few hours! However, we recommend waiting at least 5-6 hours before walking on newly applied coating and 24 hours before moving heavy objects back onto the flooring.

Testimonials
We are very happy!
“We are very happy with our entire experience with Skyline Concrete Coating. The floor looks great and was at a very reasonable price. Their installation crew was efficient and very conscientious. They took care to clean up after themselves during the work and when they were done. We will likely be calling and scheduling additional projects.”

Looks Great!
“Skyline was super easy to work with and has a great product. I had an epoxy coating on the floor that I had put down about 16 years ago that needed to be replaced badly. They came in and ground the epoxy off, fixed all of the imperfections in the floor, and applied their product in a day! The floor looks great.”
Justin H.
