Is Epoxy Good for Outdoor Patios?
Yes, epoxy is excellent for outdoor patios, but you need outdoor-specific formulations with UV-stable pigments and weather-resistant properties. Regular indoor epoxy won’t cut it in Sutherland’s harsh coastal environment.
When installed properly, outdoor patio epoxy coating gives you:
- UV and Weather Resistance: Outdoor-grade epoxy with UV-stable pigments that won’t fade or yellow in our intense Aussie sun
- Durability: Handles foot traffic, outdoor furniture, and everything coastal conditions throw at it
- Waterproof Protection: Stops moisture damage and prevents mould growth in damp areas
- Low Maintenance: Just hose it down—no scrubbing or special treatments needed
- Customisation: Multiple colours, textures, and finishes to match your style
- Climate Suitability: Perfect for Sutherland’s coastal environment with built-in salt-air resistance
Professional installation makes all the difference between a coating that lasts 2 years versus 15+ years, especially in our Shire’s demanding climate.

Our Installation Process
Getting your patio epoxy coating right starts way before we mix any product. We kick off with a thorough concrete assessment—checking for cracks, damage, and drainage issues. Then we pressure wash everything to remove dirt, oil, and any contaminants that’d stop the epoxy from bonding properly.
If there are cracks or damage, we repair them first. No point covering problems—they’ll just come back to bite you. We also make sure your patio has proper drainage because water pooling under the epoxy creates headaches nobody needs.
Once the surface is prepped and dried, we apply the outdoor-grade epoxy system in multiple coats. If you’re going with a non-slip texture, we add that during application. The whole process typically takes 1-2 days, depending on your patio size, and then there’s a curing time—usually 24-72 hours, depending on the weather– before you can use it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does patio epoxy coating last in Sutherland's climate?
With proper installation and basic maintenance, you’re looking at 10-15+ years from quality outdoor epoxy systems. Our UV-resistant formulations are specifically designed to handle coastal conditions, so they won’t break down from salt air or intense sun exposure like cheaper alternatives.
Is epoxy coating slippery when wet?
Not when done right. We add non-slip texture during application to create a safe surface even when wet. This makes it perfect for families, pool areas, or anywhere safety matters.
How long does installation take, and when can I use my patio?
Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on your patio size. After that, you’ll need to stay off it for 24-72 hours while it cures—weather affects timing. We work around your schedule to minimise disruption.
Can epoxy coating be applied to existing concrete patios?
Absolutely. As long as your concrete is structurally sound, we can coat it. We repair any cracks or damage first, then properly prep the surface so the epoxy bonds perfectly.
What maintenance does patio epoxy require?
Barely any—that’s the beauty of it. Hose it down when it gets dirty, use mild detergent if needed. We recommend an annual inspection and possibly re-sealing every 3-5 years to keep it looking its best.
