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.
