What is an epoxy flake patio coating?

An epoxy flake coating is a layered resin floor bonded into the top of an outdoor concrete slab. A primer is rolled into the ground concrete and fuses into it, a pigmented base coat goes over the primer, colored flakes are broadcast into the wet base coat until none of the concrete shows, and a clear polyaspartic topcoat is applied over the flake to lock it in and take the weather. What was several pieces of gray concrete becomes one continuous colored surface.

We install it for Geneva homeowners whose outdoor concrete has grown over the years: an original patio, a path added later down the side of the house, a slab extended when the yard was redone, none of it the same shade. It suits any sound slab that is stained, dusting or simply mismatched, and it suits a pool deck or a set of steps as well as a patio.

The finished floor is colored, textured underfoot and closed against water, and it runs across the joins between old pours as if they were never there. Flake floors we have installed outdoors are on our gallery.

Why a flake coating instead of pavers or a new pour

Concrete poured at different times never matches, and no amount of pressure washing brings it together. The choices are to break it all out and pour again, to bury it under pavers, or to finish the whole area as one surface with a coating. Coating costs a fraction of the first two, keeps every slab that is still sound, and gives a finished floor rather than a cleaned-up gray one.

A coating goes onto the concrete you have, ground and repaired, with nothing demolished and nothing hauled to a dumpster. It adds almost no height, so the step at the patio door and the transition from the path to the drive stay where they are, and the falls that carry rain away from the foundation are kept.

It is also a floor you choose. Bare concrete gives you gray; a flake floor gives you a blend picked to sit with the brick, the stone and the planting, and a texture set for the way the space is used. The blend is the only thing that changes from one yard to the next; the system under it is the same.

What you get from a coated patio

One surface, one color. The base coat and the flake cover every slab the same way, so the original patio, the later path and the extension read as one floor. Flake comes in a wide range of blends and sizes, and outdoors it brings color to a part of the yard that has only ever been gray.

Waterproof, and it stays the color you chose. The coating closes the concrete, so rain and pool water run off instead of soaking into the slab and freezing inside it through the winter, which is what lifts the surface off a bare patio. The polyaspartic topcoat is UV stable, so the floor does not yellow or fade in a south-facing yard.

Easy to keep clean, and safe to walk on wet. The surface is seamless and non-porous, so grill grease, sunscreen, pollen and mud rinse off with a hose, and there is nothing for mold to take hold in. The orange-peel texture of the flake gives grip, an anti-slip additive can be added around a pool, and the finish is low odor, low VOC and pet friendly. A flake floor is built to last 15 to 20 years, and if the surface wears it is refreshed with a new topcoat rather than replaced.

Choosing the blend, the texture and the topcoat

The blend comes first, because it is the decision you will look at every day. Epoxy flake blends run from quiet neutrals, grays, tans and browns that pick up a brick or a stone house, to blends with a clear color in them, and the flake size sets the pattern: fine flake reads almost as one even tone, larger flake as a bolder mix. We choose it against the house and the yard, not on a screen.

The texture is set by the flake and adjusted for the space. Every flake floor has the orange-peel finish that gives grip when it is wet; where a floor needs more, on the steps down to the yard, at the pool edge or on a path that ices, an anti-slip additive is broadcast into the topcoat in that area.

The topcoat is the same on every outdoor floor we install: clear polyaspartic, UV stable so it resists yellowing and fading, abrasion resistant so furniture and grit do not wear through it, and glossy enough to bring up the color of the flake. It is the layer the weather actually touches.

Getting mismatched concrete ready to coat

Every slab is mechanically ground, whatever its age. Diamond grinders take the weathered surface, old stain or paint, algae and moss staining and any efflorescence off the concrete and open its pores so the primer bonds into it. Older and newer pours grind to the same clean surface, which is the first step in making them one floor.

Cracks are opened out, cleaned and filled flush, spalls and pitting are repaired, and the joins between pours, which are usually the roughest part of an old yard, are ground level and filled so the coating runs across them without a ridge. Control joints are treated so the finished floor is continuous.

Falls are checked as we go. A coating follows the slab, so a low spot that holds a puddle is filled before the floor goes down, and the edges of every slab are ground so the coating stops cleanly at the lawn, the beds and the house wall.

How a flake patio is built

The primer goes on first, rolled into the ground concrete. It fuses into the surface and gives the bond that a painted patio never has, which is why paint peels and a coating does not. The pigmented base coat follows once the primer has cured, in one continuous pass across every slab.

The colored flakes are broadcast into the wet base coat until the concrete is completely covered. When that coat has cured, the loose flake is scraped and swept back, leaving the even texture that gives the floor its grip.

The clear polyaspartic topcoat is applied over the whole floor last. It locks the flake in place, closes the surface to water and is the layer that takes the sun, the chairs, the feet and the hose for the life of the floor.

Outdoor concrete around Geneva

Geneva has a great deal of housing on generous lots with mature yards, and the concrete outside has usually been added to more than once: a patio off the back of the house, a walk down the side to the drive, a pad for the grill or the hot tub, steps where the ground drops. That pattern of concrete poured years apart is exactly where a flake coating earns its keep, and we coat patios, walkways, steps and pool decks across Geneva and the surrounding Kane County towns.

We come out from our shop in Roselle with our own installers, not subcontracted labor. We are licensed and insured, we back our work with an extended warranty on our craftsmanship, and the person who looks at your concrete with you is one of the people who will coat it.
