Concrete Driveway Coating
Concrete Driveway Coatings in Jacksonville & St. Augustine, FL
A driveway is one of the first impressions your home makes. Over time, concrete weathers, stains, cracks, and fades. Concrete driveway coatings offer a way to restore curb appeal, protect the surface, and extend its lifespan. Custom Floor Coating provides industrial-grade coatings and professional installations in Jacksonville and St. Augustine, FL, so your driveway looks great, performs well, and resists damage for years to come.
What Are Concrete Coatings for Driveways?
Concrete driveway coating involves applying a protective epoxy layer over existing concrete. It may include decorative elements like flakes, color blends, or stains. The coating seals the surface, resists oil, chemicals, moisture, and UV damage, and improves traction. At Custom Floor Coating, we use high-quality commercial and industrial materials to ensure durability and visual appeal.
Benefits of Concrete Driveway Coating
Getting concrete coating for your driveway grants you many benefits. Some reasons to invest in driveway coating include:
- Enhanced Durability – Coated driveways resist cracking, spalling, stains, and wear caused by water, oil, and heavy vehicles.
- Improved Appearance – With color blends, flakes, or stains, coatings let you refresh or restyle your driveway.
- Low Maintenance – Once installed properly, coating means less frequent cleaning, sealing, or repairs.
- Extended Lifespan – Proper coating protects underlying concrete from moisture infiltration, freeze-thaw damage, and chemical exposure.
- Better Safety – Coated driveways resist oil or grease seepage that might otherwise create slick surfaces.
Types of Concrete Driveway Coatings
Custom Floor Coating offers several coating options, each with its own strengths. Some options include:
- Epoxy Coatings – Epoxy is strong, resists many common driveway hazards, and can be tinted. Epoxy coating for concrete driveways is excellent where chemical resistance, color depth, and finish matter.
- Decorative Flake Systems – Flake systems embedded in the coating help hide imperfections, add texture, and allow color customization. They also contribute slip resistance and aesthetic value.
- Concrete Stains – For more subtle changes or when you want to retain some of the concrete’s natural texture, stains can add color and depth without a full overlay.
Our Process for Concrete Driveway Coating
Custom Floor Coating follows a proven method to deliver flawless, long-lasting driveway coatings. Our process involves:
- Surface Preparation – Cracks or damage are repaired. The concrete surface is ground to remove old coatings or contaminants and open the pores, so coatings adhere properly.
- Base Coat Application – After prep, a base coat is applied. For flake systems, full broadcast of flakes may be used to ensure coverage and design consistency.
- Decorative Layering – Depending on the system chosen, color blends, flakes, or design elements are added before the top seal.
- Top Coat/Sealing – A clear coat or sealant finishes the system. This provides glossy or semi-gloss protection, UV resistance, and helps resist wear and staining.
- Curing and Quality Check – After application, the surface cures. Custom Floor Coating offers 1-2 day installation for some systems, and full warranties are provided.
