In Central Florida, where the climate can be harsh on outdoor surfaces, a durable and attractive driveway is not just a luxury, but a necessity. Spartan Coatings specializes in providing top-quality concrete coatings, using advanced materials like polyurea, epoxy, and polyaspartic. These treatments not only protect your driveway from the elements but also enhance its overall aesthetic appeal.

Understanding Concrete Coatings

Your driveway is more than just a path to your garage or home; it's a significant aspect of your property's curb appeal and functionality. In the fluctuating climate of Central Florida, where the sun's intensity and occasional heavy rains are a norm, uncoated concrete driveways can rapidly deteriorate. This deterioration isn't just an eyesore; it can also lead to more significant issues like cracks, which may cause further damage to the structure. Concrete coatings serve as a protective layer, shielding your driveway from environmental stresses and daily wear and tear. These are also an investment in your property's value, adding a visual charm that goes beyond the basic utility.

We offer both polyurea and epoxy, each with distinct properties suited for different situations.

• Polyurea: Known for quick curing time, polyurea coatings are ideal for projects where time is a critical factor. They offer excellent resistance to high temperatures and UV radiation, making them perfect for the Florida weather. Additionally, polyurea is highly flexible, which helps prevent cracks and peeling over time.

• Epoxy: Epoxy coatings are valued for their strength and durability. They are an excellent choice for driveways with heavy usage, resisting stains and abrasions effectively. This makes epoxy-coated driveways easy to maintain and ensures they keep looking new for longer periods.

To further improve the performance of our polyurea and epoxy, we finish with a polyaspartic topcoat. This topcoat is crucial for preventing yellowing and fading from UV exposure, ensuring your driveway remains vibrant and aesthetically pleasing. The polyaspartic coat also adds a sophisticated finish, with options ranging from high gloss to matte, depending on your personal preference.

The Spartan Coatings Process

We believe your driveway should reflect your personal style and the architectural character of your home. That's why we offer a variety of colors and finishes to choose from. Our experienced team works closely with you to select the perfect hue and texture, ensuring the final product aligns with your vision and enhances your home's appearance.

Our approach is meticulous and detailed. It begins with a thorough assessment, where we identify any issues that might affect the process. We then prepare the surface by cleaning and repairing any damage and ensuring a smooth base.

After the preparation, we apply the base coat, choosing between polyurea or epoxy based on your specific needs. This base coat is the primary protective layer and is crucial for the longevity of the coating.

Once the base is applied, we add the color and texture. This stage is where your driveway's transformation truly takes place. Our team skillfully applies your chosen colors and textures, creating a look that is not just functional but also a beautiful extension of your home.
