Outdoor concrete takes a beating from weather, foot traffic, and everyday use. Over time, patios can crack, stain, pit, and lose their original appearance. A professional concrete coating restores the surface and adds a layer of protection that bare concrete simply cannot provide.
At Concrete Shield Coatings Inc., we apply high-performance coatings to outdoor patios, walkways, and other exterior concrete surfaces across the Chicagoland area. Our systems are designed to handle UV exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and heavy use while keeping your outdoor space looking clean and well-maintained.
Uncoated outdoor concrete is vulnerable to moisture absorption, staining, cracking from freeze-thaw cycles, and surface erosion. A coating seals and protects the slab.
Outdoor concrete is constantly exposed to rain, snow, ice, UV rays, and temperature swings. Without protection, these conditions lead to surface damage, unsightly stains, and costly repairs. Here is what a patio coating provides:
Slip Resistance: Anti-slip aggregate is added to every outdoor coating we install. This creates a textured surface that stays safe underfoot even when wet from rain, sprinklers, or pool splash.
Weather Protection: Our outdoor systems are formulated to resist freeze-thaw damage, salt, and UV fading. The coating creates a sealed barrier that prevents moisture from penetrating the concrete slab.
Improved Appearance: A coated patio looks cleaner, more finished, and more inviting. Choose from solid colors or decorative options to match your home's exterior style.
Low Maintenance: Coated surfaces are easy to sweep, hose down, or pressure wash. Dirt, leaves, and spills wipe away without staining the surface.
Not every coating system is suited for outdoor use. Exterior concrete requires materials that can withstand UV exposure, moisture, and temperature extremes. We match the right system to your patio based on its condition, location, and how you use the space. Our outdoor options include:
Each system includes professional surface preparation - diamond grinding and concrete repair - to ensure the coating bonds properly and performs long-term. During your estimate, we inspect the slab, discuss your goals, and recommend the best system for your specific conditions.
Choosing Concrete Shield Coatings Inc. for your outdoor patio project means working with a team that understands the specific demands of exterior concrete.
Outdoor coatings require more than just applying a product to concrete. Proper preparation, the right materials, and experienced installation make the difference between a coating that lasts and one that peels. Here is what sets our work apart:
