Testimonials

Words from our clients

This is the second time we have used Euan and Tough Floors. Cannot rate this company or product high enough. From quote to prep, install and seal this team are fast, professional and the focus on quality is brilliant.”
Gary Webb
“We had an epoxy coating applied on our garage floor by Tough Floors over 5 years ago. The floor still looks amazing after all this time. We chose Tough Floors because they grind the top layer of concrete, whereas many competitors only do an acid wash.”

What we do

Coatings chosen for the surface

Outdoor concrete surfaces take a harder beating than anything inside.They deal with UV exposure, rain, temperature variation, vehicle loads and foot traffic from every angle. That is why the right product choice matters.

We use UV-stable products selected for exterior applications, with slip resistance considered as part of the system. Whether it is a driveway, alfresco area, pool surround, path or shed floor, we assess the surface and recommend the right coating for the conditions.

What areas

Where outdoor coatings work

Driveways

Driveways need to handle vehicles, tyres, oil, weather and regular cleaning. We assess the concrete and recommend a system suited to the traffic and exposure.

Patios

A coated patio can make an outdoor area feel cleaner, more finished and easier to maintain.

Alfresco areas

Outdoor living areas need a finish that looks good, cleans easily and suits the way the space is used.

Pool surrounds

Pool surrounds need careful consideration around grip, water exposure, bare feet and sun exposure.

Paths

Paths and walkways need a practical finish that can handle foot traffic, weather and everyday wear.

Shed floors

Shed floors often deal with tools, storage, equipment, vehicles and dust. A coating can make the space easier to clean and more usable.

ASSESSMENT

What we assess before recommending a system

Before recommending a system, we look at the surface condition, sun exposure, drainage, existing coatings, vehicle loads, foot traffic, cleaning needs and the level of slip resistance required.

This matters because the wrong product or finish can break down faster outside, especially in exposed areas. A driveway, pool surround and alfresco area may all need different considerations.

The goal is to choose a coating system that suits the surface, not just the colour you like.

Why it’s important

Why coat outdoor concrete?

Exposure

Products are selected for outdoor conditions, including sun, rain and changing temperatures.

Grip

Slip resistance is considered as part of the system, especially around wet or high-traffic areas.

Protection

The right coating can help resist oil, organic staining, weather and general surface wear.

Appearance

A coating can improve tired, stained or bare concrete and make the area feel more finished.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Still have questions?

Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Please get in touch below

Can you coat an existing driveway?

In many cases, yes. The driveway needs to be assessed first to check the condition of the concrete, any existing coatings, oil contamination, cracks and general wear. From there, we can recommend whether coating is suitable and what preparation may be needed.

Will the coating handle sun and rain?

Yes. We use UV-stable products selected for outdoor conditions. Sun, rain, temperature changes and exposure all need to be considered, so we assess the area first and recommend a system suited to the space.

Is the surface slippery when wet?

Slip resistance is considered as part of the system, especially for outdoor areas that may get wet. We will assess how the surface will be used and recommend a finish with the right level of grip for the space.

Can outdoor coatings be pressure cleaned?

Yes, outdoor coatings can usually be pressure cleaned where suitable. We will provide care advice after installation so you know how to clean the surface without damaging the finish.

Is this suitable around a pool?

Yes, pool surrounds can be coated, but the area needs to be assessed first. Grip, water exposure, sun exposure and comfort underfoot all need to be considered before we recommend a system.

Is this better than stencilcrete or acrylic coating?

It depends on the surface and how the area will be used. For many high-use outdoor areas, epoxy and resinous coatings can offer stronger performance than basic acrylic coatings, especially where vehicles, oil, cleaning and weather exposure are involved. We will assess the surface first and recommend what makes sense for the space.
