Boosting Your Home’s Value with Exterior Epoxy Coating

 Posted on April 23, 2025 in Uncategorized

When you think of adding an epoxy coating to concrete, you probably think primarily about garages, basements, family rooms, and around a home swimming pool. You should not overlook the benefits of adding epoxy coating to the sidewalks and walkways around your home, as well as patios, porches, and front and backdoor steps. These outdoor areas are often overlooked when homeowners make upgrades to their homes.

Epoxy coating is an excellent choice for durability, cost-effectiveness, and for adding beauty and curb appeal to your home. Whether you are interested in having an epoxy coating applied to your outdoor home areas or inside your home, in your garage, family room, or basement, you will find it to be an outstanding way to add beauty and value to your home.

Epoxy floor coatings come in a wide range of colors and textures, allowing you to choose ones that reflect your taste and lifestyle.

What Exterior Home Areas Can Benefit from Epoxy Floor Coating?

Many homes have front and back steps leading to the entry door. These steps tend to get a lot of foot traffic, giving guests or prospective homebuyers their first glimpse into how well-kept your home is. When you add an anti-slip additive to the epoxy floor coating covering your steps, you also increase the safety of the steps, which are often slippery. Sidewalks, outdoor patios – both covered and non-covered – porches, walkways, and areas around a pool or spa can all benefit from epoxy floor coatings.

What Are the Benefits of Outdoor Epoxy Floor Coating?

There are many benefits associated with epoxy floor coatings, both inside and outside your home. Some of these benefits include:

• Epoxy coating is an affordable choice and will keep your bare concrete from degrading, which can result in significant costs when the concrete must be replaced.
• Epoxy coatings are highly resistant to damage and easily withstand heavy foot traffic without peeling or cracking. Cured epoxy is moisture-resistant and can be expected to last for many years to come.
• Epoxy coatings repel liquids and chemicals.
• Even when used outdoors, epoxy coatings are very low maintenance.
• Epoxy coatings can withstand extreme temperatures and weather conditions, including high heat and very low temperatures.
•  Epoxy coatings are resistant to fire damage and are highly scratch-resistant.
• Epoxy coating over outdoor concrete surfaces is aesthetically pleasing, adding to the home's value. Epoxy coatings come in a wide variety of colors, along with many different finishes, allowing customization that reflects your style.
• Epoxy coatings are resistant to germs and bacteria and are easily cleaned and maintained.
• Epoxy coatings are eco-friendly and require fewer materials.

Anti-Slip Additives Can Be Added to Outdoor Epoxy Floor Coatings

Epoxy floor coatings used in exterior applications can have anti-slip additives added to ensure your safety and that of your loved ones. There are a number of different additives that can be used. Shark Grip has a less abrasive texture, making walking on it with bare feet comfortable while ensuring your outdoor areas are anti-slip.

Aluminum oxide is often used in industrial settings and can also be added to epoxy flooring. Adding aluminum oxide works well to skid-proof outdoor surfaces but is not as "friendly" to bare feet. When added to the epoxy coating, silica sand creates a slightly "bumpy" surface that is less slippery. SparkleTuff is applied on top of epoxy floors and requires no primer or other pre-treatment, making the surface anti-corrosive while providing outstanding wear and chemical resistance.
