Concrete Patio Enhanced with UV Stable Factory Blend Flakes, HyperBond Epoxy and 5500 Polyaspartic
DESCRIPTION
Customer in Kentucky wanted to upgrade their outdoor concrete patio with decorative UV Stable flakes and epoxy system. To ensure the best adhesion to the concrete patio the concrete was properly prepared using a concrete diamond grinder. This ensure the concrete is ready for coating and the products will properly adhere.
The HyperBond Epoxy was then applied at approximately 166 sq’ across the patio. While the epoxy was still wet, UV Stable Flakes in the Chalet Blend were broadcasted. The UV Stable Flakes were specifically chosen because they contain UV absorbers to improve the UV Stability of the flakes and reduce risk of discoloration due to sun exposure.
The last step included mixing 7-8 heaping tablespoons into the 2 gallons of 5500 Polyaspartic and then applying across the patio at approximately 250 sq’ per gallon. The 5500 Polyaspartic provided a nice gloss and durable topcoat and the polybeads provided extra anti-slip resistance.
