Polyurea Coatings For Decks & Balconies

Outdoor decks and patios can be a great way to spend a warm summer afternoon. But the harsh temperatures of winter can really take a toll on the substrate and living area below, if not properly sealed. Poly Seal’s decking system will solve all water and weatherproofing problems. Standing water and freezing rain can get through a lesser coating or lining and rot out a wooden substrate, breakdown and create mold and possible leak all the way to the living space below. Inferior decking systems will only partially prevent these types of outdoor decking issues. Poly Seal’s decking system creates a monolithic waterproof coatings. The Polyurea coating will protect the substrate underneath, redirect the water to the drains and prevent any leaking or flooding of living spaces below. Watertight system is a spray on application at high temps to induce best adhesion, after application the decks are usable within the hour.

ATX Outdoor Applications

ATX outdoor coatings offer a durable and long-lasting solution for protecting decks, patios, stairs, and walkways from the elements. These coatings are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including intense UV exposure, heavy foot traffic, and moisture, which are common causes of damage to outdoor surfaces. ATX coatings are slip-resistant, providing an added layer of safety, especially on surfaces that become wet or slick. They are available in various finishes and colors, allowing homeowners to enhance the aesthetic appeal of their outdoor spaces while ensuring protection. Additionally, these coatings are easy to clean and maintain, making them a practical choice for preserving the integrity of wood, concrete, and other materials used in outdoor construction.

Preparation

The Polyurea coating Poly Seal applies is only as good as the prep behind it. That is why Poly Seal takes great pride in our ability to properly assess a substrate and maintain all engineering and architectural codes on the preparation. Starting with hand sanding, mechanical abrasion, sandblasting and cleaning, Poly Seal makes sure that any surface we spray is 100% ready for the application.

Masking & Lining

Not all jobs are wide open spraying, most of the time Poly Seal will mask off areas to keep containment for the surrounding areas. Along with the preparation, Poly Seal has the capability to tape and plastic all surrounding surfaces that are not being sprayed with Polyurea. This is a vital step to eliminate all overspray and keep the air clean outside of the sprayed area.

Application

 Just as important as the preparation and masking, the actual application of 80-150 mills of polyurea is what sets Poly Seal apart from our competition. Our state of the art proportioner and gun lays down a thick, elastic coating to protect the substrate underneath. In most cases, Poly Seal will make 4-5 passes over the area than apply a lite or aggressive aggregate (if needed) followed by a lite texture for aesthetics. Poly Seal can customize the aggregate to the customers specifications for more anti slip or just a different look.

Cleanup & Inspection

Poly Seal knows that getting getting back into production or service is vital for any company. That is why we boast a 30 minute Return to Service Time, by the end of the preparation and spraying, Poly Seal will have the area completely cleaned up and all masking and tape removed so you can get back to work, the SAME DAY! Polyurea has a 30-60 second tack free time which is unparalleled in the coating industry.
