Driveways, pool decks, patios and walkways take more punishment in Litchfield Park than any floor inside the house, and they take it from the sun rather than from traffic. Dialed In Epoxy coats exterior concrete with UV stable polyaspartic systems, base coat and topcoat both, because epoxy is not UV stable and ambers within a season or two of Arizona daylight. ROC 358358, and we are licensed, bonded and insured.
Call (602) 820-7739Surface temperature is the thing people notice first and specify last. Bare concrete around a pool absorbs sun all afternoon and holds onto it, which is why the walk from the water back to the door becomes a problem in July rather than a detail. Two choices change that, and both are made before anything is mixed. A light color reflects heat instead of storing it. A textured finish breaks up the contact area, so the surface reads cooler underfoot than a smooth one at the same temperature. A dark smooth deck will not be comfortable whatever goes over it.
Texture does a second job around water. Anti slip aggregate is broadcast into the coat where it has been specified, which is what keeps a wet deck from going slick where people walk barefoot and children run. It is part of how the surface is built rather than something applied over the top afterwards, so cleaning does not gradually wear it away. The same aggregate goes into a walkway running from a Litchfield Park pool back to a covered patio, because that is where water gets carried and where the footing changes. The full build is set out on our Phoenix page: how an exterior coating is built up.
The second thing deciding whether an exterior coating lasts is water, and it is the one worth being honest about before a quote rather than after. A slab that holds standing water once a monsoon has passed, or that draws moisture up from underneath, will push a coating off it regardless of what the topcoat is rated for. That is why we look at the concrete and at how it drains before putting a number on the work. Where a Litchfield Park deck sits low against a lawn or a planter, the water it has to cope with is not the water that fell on it. Call (602) 820-7739 or use the form on this page.
Three stages on every exterior concrete coating in Litchfield Park, AZ, and the first one decides the other two.
We mechanically grind, profile and vacuum the concrete with diamond tooling, which takes off the weathered top layer along with any old sealer. Exterior slabs almost always carry one, and a coating laid over an existing sealer has nothing to bond to. That preparation runs under every interior floor we lay: the four layers of an epoxy floor build, in order.
Cracks, spalled edges and pitted areas are cut out, filled and ground flush. Control joints are honored rather than filled over, so the slab can still move where it was designed to move instead of cracking somewhere new.
Then the system itself: a polyaspartic base, the color layer, and two coats of UV stable polyaspartic over the top, with anti-slip aggregate broadcast in where it was specified. A polyaspartic build goes down in a day, which on a driveway is the difference between one afternoon without the car and a week of it.
