At United Floor Coatings, we love transforming outdoor spaces into beautiful, durable areas that homeowners can enjoy for years to come. Our recent project in Waxhaw, NC, gave us the opportunity to revamp both the front porch and back patio of a stunning home using our industry-leading coating systems.
A Fresh Look for the Front Porch – Hybrid Stone Agate Flake Blend
The homeowners wanted their front porch to have a polished, clean look that could also stand up to the elements. After consulting with them, we decided that our Hybrid Stone Agate flake blend was the perfect choice. This particular blend combines shades of cool grays and subtle earth tones, creating a refined yet inviting entrance to the home.
The installation process began with a thorough surface preparation to ensure long-lasting adhesion. We first diamond ground the concrete to remove any imperfections and create a smooth base for the coating system. Next, we applied a moisture-resistant primer to protect the porch from Waxhaw's fluctuating weather conditions.
After the prep work, we installed the base coat and broadcast the Hybrid Stone Agate flakes across the entire porch. The result was a sleek, modern finish that not only complements the home’s exterior but also provides a slip-resistant surface, making it as safe as it is stylish. The final step was sealing the porch with a high-performance topcoat, which adds durability and UV resistance, ensuring that the porch will look great for years to come.
Back Patio Transformation – Hybrid Stone Shale Flake Blend
For the back patio, the homeowners were looking for a finish that would create a cohesive outdoor living space—one that’s perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the beautiful North Carolina weather. After reviewing several options, they chose the Hybrid Stone Shale flake blend. This mix of darker grays and muted earthy tones brings a natural, grounded feel to the patio, blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.
The installation process for the patio was similar to the front porch, beginning with surface preparation. We once again used our diamond grinding technique to ensure optimal adhesion, followed by the application of our moisture-resistant primer. This step is critical for outdoor installations like this, especially in areas that can experience frequent rain.
Once the prep was complete, we installed the base coat and applied the Hybrid Stone Shale flakes. The darker tones of this blend created a sophisticated look that complements the outdoor furniture and landscaping. To finish the patio, we applied the same protective topcoat used on the front porch, ensuring that the surface will hold up under foot traffic, outdoor furniture, and the elements.
The Perfect Finishing Touch
Both the front porch and back patio turned out beautifully, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the home while providing practical benefits like durability, weather resistance, and slip prevention. The homeowners were thrilled with the outcome, especially knowing their new coated surfaces require minimal maintenance while offering long-lasting protection.
