Sun and UV protection
UV-stable coatings resist fading, chalking and yellowing outdoors.

Tempe patios live in the sun. Outdoor concrete coatings protect slabs from UV, heat, stains and monsoon storms while adding color, texture and slip resistance — turning cracked, faded concrete into an outdoor space you'll actually want to use.
Understanding the service
Outdoor coatings must be UV-stable, breathable where needed, and textured for safety when wet. Standard interior epoxy isn't the right choice outside; instead we use polyaspartic, polyurea or outdoor-rated systems designed for sun and weather.
Systems range from flake finishes and solid colors to textured coatings that stay cooler underfoot. The right choice depends on sun exposure, drainage, and whether the area is around a pool.
Benefits
UV-stable coatings resist fading, chalking and yellowing outdoors.
Texture and anti-slip aggregate add traction for patios and pool areas.
Food, drinks, grill grease and pool chemicals clean up easily.
Hides worn, discolored concrete with a clean, finished look.
Where it fits
How it's installed
We check drainage, cracks, sun exposure and how the space is used.
The slab is cleaned, ground and repaired, including outdoor-grade crack repair.
An outdoor-rated base coat is applied for bond and color.
Flakes, color and anti-slip media are added as specified.
A UV-stable topcoat seals and protects the surface.
Local considerations
Between summer sun, monsoon downpours and dust storms, Tempe patios see harsh conditions. We favor light colors that stay cooler, UV-stable topcoats that won't yellow, and texture that keeps wet surfaces safe during storm season.
Before you start
Why it matters
Outdoor coatings fail fast when the wrong product is used or when moisture and drainage aren't addressed. Professional installers choose UV-stable, outdoor-rated systems and prep the slab so the coating survives Arizona weather.

FAQ
Standard epoxy tends to yellow and chalk in sunlight. We use UV-stable outdoor systems like polyaspartic or polyurea for patios.
Dark colors absorb heat. Lighter colors and textured finishes stay noticeably cooler underfoot.
We add texture or anti-slip aggregate so the surface stays safe when wet.
Yes. Cracks are repaired as part of prep, though structural movement may still show over time.
Many pool decks can be coated with textured, outdoor-rated systems. We'll assess your specific deck and drainage.
With UV-stable products and proper prep, outdoor coatings can last many years, with periodic topcoat refresh in high-wear areas.
