Your patio is more than a concrete slab behind your house. It can be an extension of your home—a place for relaxing, entertaining, grilling, dining and spending time outdoors with family and friends. But plain, stained or aging concrete can make even a beautifully furnished outdoor space feel unfinished.
Flohr Coatings provides professional patio coatings in Huntsville, Madison, Hampton Cove, Owens Cross Roads, Guntersville and surrounding North Alabama communities. Our exclusive Resiflex coating system transforms ordinary concrete patios into attractive, durable surfaces that are non-skid, waterproof, stain resistant and mildew resistant.
Whether you're updating an existing patio, completing a new outdoor living area or coordinating several concrete surfaces around your home, Flohr Coatings can help turn your patio into a space that looks finished and is designed for everyday outdoor use.
Concrete is an excellent foundation for a patio because it is strong and versatile. But unfinished concrete isn't necessarily the ideal finished surface.
Outdoor concrete is constantly exposed to the elements and everyday use. Your patio may regularly encounter:
Over time, plain concrete can become stained, discolored and visually inconsistent.
Flohr Coatings' exclusive Resiflex coating system provides a decorative finished surface that is non-skid, waterproof, stain resistant and mildew resistant.
Instead of simply accepting unfinished concrete, homeowners can make the patio floor part of the overall outdoor design.
Concrete condition, preparation, materials and installation all contribute to the finished result.
Flohr Coatings specializes in professional concrete coating solutions for residential and commercial properties throughout the greater Huntsville area.
Our exclusive Resiflex coating system transforms ordinary concrete into a decorative, non-skid, waterproof, stain-resistant and mildew-resistant surface.
We can also help homeowners coordinate multiple concrete surfaces throughout the property.
If your patio connects to other areas, ask about coating options for:
Instead of thinking about each concrete slab individually, we can help you consider how the different spaces work together.
We begin by evaluating the existing concrete, its condition and how the patio is used.
This helps us identify any areas that may require attention before coating.
Proper surface preparation is critical to the performance of the coating system.
The concrete must be prepared appropriately so the coating can bond to the substrate.
After preparation is complete, the Resiflex system is professionally applied to create the decorative finished surface.
The finished patio becomes an attractive, non-skid, waterproof, stain-resistant and mildew-resistant surface designed for everyday outdoor living.
Flohr Coatings will provide appropriate instructions regarding curing and when the patio can return to normal use.
Outdoor kitchens have become increasingly popular throughout the Huntsville area.
Built-in grills, refrigerators, countertops, sinks, cabinetry and televisions can transform a patio into a true outdoor room.
The concrete floor should feel like part of that transformation.
A decorative coating provides a more finished foundation for the outdoor kitchen while offering stain resistance that can be particularly valuable around food preparation and grilling areas.
Grease, sauces, beverages and everyday cooking messes are part of using an outdoor kitchen.
Choosing a finished surface designed with real-world use in mind can make the space more practical as well as more attractive.
Covered patios provide protection from direct sunlight and rain, but that doesn't mean the concrete stays completely protected. Moisture, dirt, pollen, spills and everyday foot traffic can still affect the surface. Because covered patios often function more like outdoor rooms, homeowners may also place greater emphasis on their appearance.
Uncovered patios experience a different set of conditions. They're directly exposed to rain, sunlight, leaves, landscaping debris and seasonal weather. For these spaces, a coating needs to provide more than a decorative appearance. The waterproof, stain-resistant and mildew-resistant characteristics of Resiflex make it particularly attractive for outdoor concrete surfaces where exposure to the elements is simply part of everyday life.
Existing patios are excellent candidates for a visual transformation. Years of weather exposure, foot traffic and outdoor use can leave concrete looking tired, stained or dated. Sometimes the patio itself is structurally useful, but its appearance no longer matches improvements made elsewhere around the home.
Patios, decks, swimming pools, outdoor kitchens and entertainment areas often become central gathering spaces. These environments can also see considerable use from family, guests, recreational activities and exposure to water. A decorative concrete coating can help create a finished patio surface that complements the relaxed outdoor lifestyle while providing practical characteristics for regular use.
A professionally installed coating can dramatically improve the appearance of the space while providing practical benefits for everyday outdoor living. Flohr Coatings' exclusive Resiflex coating system creates a decorative, non-skid, waterproof, stain-resistant and mildew-resistant finished surface designed to transform ordinary concrete. Whether you're updating an existing patio, completing a new home, creating an outdoor kitchen, renovating your backyard or improving a lake property, Flohr Coatings can help create a patio that looks finished and is ready to be enjoyed.
One of the most immediate benefits of coating a patio is the visual transformation. Plain concrete can make an otherwise impressive outdoor living area feel incomplete. A decorative coating gives the floor a more intentional, finished appearance. The patio can then work visually with the surrounding architecture and outdoor features rather than looking like an afterthought.
Even covered patios aren't always completely protected from water. Wind-driven rain, cleaning, wet shoes and nearby swimming pools can all introduce moisture onto the patio surface. Resiflex provides a waterproof finished coating over properly prepared concrete, making it particularly well suited for exterior spaces regularly exposed to water.
Traction is important in outdoor living spaces. Rain, spills and everyday outdoor activities can leave surfaces wet. Resiflex provides a textured, non-skid finish designed to improve traction compared with smooth finished surfaces. As with any outdoor flooring, appropriate caution should still be used when the surface is wet or contaminated.
Patios are meant to be used. That means food gets dropped. Drinks get spilled. Grills create messes. Plants get moved. Pets track in dirt. A stain-resistant surface makes much more sense for an outdoor entertainment area than porous, unfinished concrete. Resiflex helps create a patio that's designed to be enjoyed—not simply admired from a distance.
Heat, humidity and moisture are familiar parts of life in North Alabama. Those conditions can also contribute to mildew around exterior areas. Resiflex is mildew resistant, an especially useful characteristic for patios, porches, pool decks and other outdoor concrete surfaces.
Outdoor surfaces will get dirty. There's no way around it. Pollen, leaves, dust, dirt and other debris are simply part of having an outdoor living space. A finished concrete coating provides a surface that can be easier to maintain than porous unfinished concrete, helping homeowners keep the patio looking cleaner and more inviting.
Flohr Coatings provides concrete coating solutions for both residential and commercial properties. Residential patios represent an obvious application, but decorative exterior coatings can also be appropriate for commercial outdoor spaces such as:
Commercial spaces may have different traffic and performance requirements, so Flohr Coatings can evaluate the specific environment and intended use when discussing coating options.
Below are a few before and after pictures of some of the projects we have done for customers.
Yes. Existing concrete patios are common candidates for professional coatings. Flohr Coatings will first evaluate the condition of the concrete and determine the preparation required before installing the coating system.
Resiflex is designed for applications that include exterior concrete surfaces. Its waterproof, stain-resistant and mildew-resistant characteristics make it particularly useful for outdoor environments. The specific concrete and project conditions should still be evaluated before installation.
Resiflex provides a textured, non-skid surface designed to improve traction. However, any wet outdoor surface should be used with appropriate caution.
Resiflex is stain resistant, which is particularly beneficial for patios, grilling areas and outdoor kitchens where spills are common. Spills should still be cleaned appropriately rather than left on the surface indefinitely.
Yes. Patios and swimming pool decks are natural applications to consider together. Flohr Coatings can evaluate both surfaces and discuss options for creating a coordinated outdoor environment.
Yes. New construction provides an excellent opportunity to incorporate the patio coating into the overall exterior design rather than leaving the concrete unfinished.
Covered patios can be excellent candidates for concrete coatings. Porches are another important application for Resiflex, and Flohr Coatings can evaluate the specific surface and environment.
Yes. Flohr Coatings serves Huntsville, Madison, Owens Cross Roads, Hampton Cove and surrounding North Alabama communities. We also serve homeowners around Guntersville and the Lake Guntersville area.
Patios are no longer limited to a small concrete pad with a grill and a few chairs. Today's outdoor spaces can include comfortable seating, dining areas, outdoor kitchens, televisions, fireplaces, fire pits, swimming pools and elaborate landscaping.
As homeowners invest more in these spaces, unfinished concrete can begin to look out of place. The patio floor occupies a large portion of the visible area. Changing that surface can have a significant impact on how the entire space looks and feels.
A professionally installed decorative concrete coating gives the patio a finished appearance while providing practical characteristics designed for an outdoor environment.
Existing patios are excellent candidates for a visual transformation. Years of weather exposure, foot traffic and outdoor use can leave concrete looking tired, stained or dated. Sometimes the patio itself is structurally useful, but its appearance no longer matches improvements made elsewhere around the home.
Flohr Coatings can evaluate the existing concrete to determine whether it is suitable for our coating system.
Proper preparation followed by a professionally installed Resiflex coating can give an older patio an entirely different appearance without treating the existing concrete as something you simply have to live with.
The goal is not simply to cover the old concrete. The goal is to create a properly prepared foundation for a finished coating system designed for long-term performance.
