Porch & Patios
Porches and patios are an excellent addition to any backyard. They create a cozy retreat that allows you to extend the amount of livable space on your property. Very often the porch or patio serves as a gathering place for family and friends, a place to enjoy the fireworks or the cool evening breeze.
Unfortunately, the concrete of your porch or patio is more likely to take a harder hit than your indoor areas. Such areas are exposed to literally every kind of weather under the sun. A high quality floor coating is the best way to bolster the concrete of your porches and patios so you can continue enjoying the space for years to come.

The Trouble with Exterior Concrete
It’s no secret that concrete is tough. It has been used as a reliable building material for thousands of years. In many ways, we as a society rely on that strength for our structures and cement slabs. Unfortunately, just because concrete is tough, does not mean it is impervious to damage.
Concrete is naturally porous. This quality makes it vulnerable to many natural processes including the freeze-thaw cycle of water. When water seeps into concrete’s pores and habitually freezes and unfreezes, it can crack the material from the inside. This is a big problem for exterior concrete structures like porches and patios.
Such structures also have consistent exposure to UV radiation. The energy in the sun’s rays can cause unsightly fading on your concrete, causing it to look dull and worn-out. Concrete can also chip or flake away in a process referred to as spalling or scaling. Chipping or cracking of any kind makes concrete less visually appealing and makes it more unsafe.
Creating Your Perfect Space
The best way to avoid all these problems while simultaneously enhancing your entertainment areas is to lay down garage floor coatings for the porches and patios on your property. The benefits of the process are almost unnumbered, and installing a professional coating for your concrete is the best way to preserve your investment.
Prevent Physical Damage
Laying down a professional protective coating is a strong measure against physical damage to your concrete. Floor coatings act as a physical barrier between the elements and your porches and patios. A few layers of epoxy or polyaspartic can help your concrete resist cracks, chips, fading, and scuffing. This is a great way to preserve the color and vibrancy of your concrete.
Even more importantly, a high quality floor coating will stem the natural tide of cracks and chips developing in your concrete. This will make your porches and patios safer places to be, minimizing the risk that children or friends will trip on cracked concrete or scrape themselves on chips in the material.
Make Clean Up a Cinch
Porches and patios are a hub of backyard activity. There is no better place to gather and celebrate Memorial Day or host a birthday celebration in the spring, summer, or fall. Unfortunately, that also increases the probability that you can expect messes in the space. Fortunately, a good coating for your exterior concrete can make cleaning up a breeze.
Floor coverings are smooth without being slippery, so they make it easier to clean up the spills and potential stains from a party or barbecue. With unprotected concrete, you risk staining if someone drops the ketchup bottle or knocks over a wine glass. If the concrete of your porches and patios are covered, however, clean-up becomes a matter of quickly retrieving a paper towel or cloth, and it’s like the accident never happened.
Minimize Repairs
The initial cost of installing a floor coating for a porch or patio causes some people to hesitate, but the savings accrued by negating the need for repair makes the investment worth it. Repairing concrete is a costly and inconvenient process, and it’s so much better to avoid the need for it in the first place. Give Brush Brothers Coating a call to save time and money on your concrete by minimizing the amount of needed repairs.
Improve Curb Appeal
All of these benefits of garage floor coatings keep porches and patios looking fresh and beautiful. This also improves your curb appeal and makes the property more marketable. Even without all the many good reasons for installing a covering, at the bare minimum, installing one lends a sense of luxury to any slab of concrete.
Professional floor coatings for porches and patios improve the slab’s beauty and are completely customizable. In addition to choosing the material from which the covering is made, property owners can also choose the thickness, the color, and the pattern for their coatings. This makes each installation unique and suited to your tastes. Opting for a professional floor coating is a sure way to make you happy each time you look at your patio or porch.
