Having a professional waterproofing team applying deck coatings ensures that the proper materials are used and installed correctly. Before applying the coating, our team inspects the deck, cleans the surface, and makes the proper repairs to make sure your coating lasts for as long as possible.
What is Deck Coating?
Deck coatings are a layer of sealant applied to your commercial building’s decks. This can be applied on parking decks, balconies, walkways, roof decks, wooden decks, patios, and more. Coatings can be pedestrian grade or vehicular grade and come in all different forms.
Types of Coatings
Acrylic – This water-based coating is UV-resistant and great for decorative applications. It has great adhesion to many different surfaces. Acrylic coatings aren’t as durable as some of the options below, so if you need a coating on areas that are high-traffic like a parking deck or walkway, epoxy or polyurethane would probably be a better choice.
Epoxy – Epoxy is a versatile material that can withstand heavy foot traffic and is resistant to chemical exposure. This makes it great for industrial and commercial applications. It is often used in warehouses, retail stores, and restaurants. Epoxy is available in different colors so it can be customized to fit the look you’re going for.
Polyurethane – This flexible coating is UV and abrasion-resistant, making it ideal for outdoor use. Polyurethane can be used on wood, concrete, and metal. It is also great for high-traffic areas.
