From a Drab Slab to a Stunning Feature

Unprotected concrete can quickly become stained and worn, detracting from your home's appearance. Our coating systems seal and protect the surface, providing a low-maintenance, long-lasting finish that adds significant value and visual appeal.

FAQ

Can I paint my patio to match my home's colour scheme?

Absolutely. Concreshield comes in a wide range of colours and is available in either a gloss or low sheen finish, allowing you to perfectly match your home's exterior and turn your patio into a stylish feature.

Will my coated path or patio be slippery when wet?

You have options for safety. You can add Shieldcoat's anti-slip wax beads to Concreshield for a P4 slip rating, or for maximum safety, especially around pools, you can use our Step Safe system which achieves a P5 rating.

How does the coating hold up to patio furniture and foot traffic?

Concreshield is a high-performance coating designed for superior durability. It easily handles foot traffic, but we recommend waiting 3-5 days after the final coat before placing heavy furniture on the surface.

Is this an easy DIY project?

Yes, for a savvy DIYer it's a great project. On standard broom-finish concrete, the process is a thorough pressure clean followed by two coats of Concreshield. The first coat is thinned to act as its own primer, simplifying the process.
