Porch, Patio, and Sunroom Floor Coatings

Enhance your entertainment and relaxation spaces with long-lasting, decorative floor coatings!

Porch, Patio, and Sunroom Coatings create the perfect surface for entertaining guests!

Your porch, patio, or sunroom is your entertainment zone for three of the four seasons. Don't entertain on a stained and cracked surface. With the proper patio or sunroom floor coating system, the dripping from the grill (or that red wine spill) won't stain anymore.

Our porch, patio, and sunroom floor coatings are designed with UV resistance in mind. The surface texture is also enhanced with slip-resistant additives. These coatings:

  • Are UV and scratch resistant.

  • Have high impact resistance.

  • Are impervious to ice melt products.

  • Have greater compressive strength than the concrete itself.

  • Are reflective and enhance lighting.

Porch, Patio, and Sunroom Floor Coating Systems

Typically, the two systems offered below are double broadcast. In a double broadcast coatings system, we saturate the coatings with chips/quartz twice instead of once. This increases the overall compressive strength and durability of the coatings.

Decorative chip epoxy patio, porch, and sunroom floor coatings

Decorative Chip

Decorative chip is the system we recommend the most for porch, patio, or sunroom floor coatings. This system has a lower price point than colored quartz while also being able to hide dirt and debris better. It also makes the colors stand out more.

Colored Quartz

A double broadcast decorative quartz coatings system provides greater compressive strength than decorative chip coatings. While this system takes more effort to keep clean, the finished result looks spectacular!

Frequently Asked Questions about Porch, Patio, and Sunroom Floor Coatings

Why is a patio coating better than stamped concrete?

Once your patio floor coatings are complete, you can enjoy them for many years with only minimal maintenance (cleaning the coatings surface). The final clear coatings (whether polyaspartics or polyureas) can tolerate sunlight and weather for many years. We have exterior porch coatings going back to 2005 that haven't needed any maintenance. Our expectation is that patio coatings exposed to sun year-round won't need a new clear coat for 10-15 years, depending upon the installed system.

With stamped concrete, homeowners need to reapply (or pay someone to reapply) the clear sealers. Stamped concrete sealers are usually acrylics or water based urethane that cannot tolerate exposure to sunlight and the elements for more than a year or two. Besides the hassle of frequent resealing, these sealers often haze or get milky white upon subsequent applications.

What if my porch currently has outdoor carpet on it?
If possible, outdoor carpets should be removed to allow the porch concrete to dry. Our surface preparation process will remove the remaining carpet glue prior to the application of the porch coatings.
Is a porch coating the same as an overlay?
No. Normally, the term "overlay" refers to a cementitious type of product that is sprayed or trowel applied. Overlays are susceptible to shrinkage cracks during the initial cure and often have the same type of sealer issues as described in the question above.
Will I have to reseal a patio floor coating?

If your patio floor coating is expose to a large amount of sunlight year round or repeatedly cleaned with a pressure sprayer, it may require a new clear coat to be applied. This may be required between 5 and 15 years after installation, dependent on exposure.

Does a patio floor coating need to be pressure sprayed to clean it?

No. Since our porch coating systems have no pores, a pressure sprayer isn't necessary for cleaning the surface. For exterior coatings, a deck brush or broom coupled with a mild cleaner is usually more than sufficient.

For homeowners who still wish to use their pressure sprayer anyway, STRONGHOLD FLOORS recommends setting the wand nozzle to a wide spray on low volume/pressure. The wand should be pointed out from the operator, never directly down towards the floor.
