If you’re looking to upgrade your outdoor living area, you may have asked yourself: Is epoxy a good option for patios in DFW? The answer is yes—with the right type of product and proper installation.

At DFW Flake & Epoxy Floor Coatings, we specialize in transforming outdoor patios with high-performance epoxy and polyaspartic coatings designed to handle DFW’s weather, UV exposure, and heavy foot traffic.

Here’s everything you need to know if you’re considering epoxy for your patio.

What Is Epoxy Patio Coating?

Epoxy patio coating is a multi-layer application system designed to:

• Protect concrete surfaces from cracking, stains, and water damage
• Add aesthetic value through flake systems and color options
• Create a slip-resistant finish for outdoor safety

But not all epoxy is created equal—outdoor areas need more than what basic kits or indoor formulas can offer.

Why Epoxy (or Polyaspartic) Is Great for DFW Patios

DFW’s climate features intense sun, heavy rain, and seasonal temperature swings. That’s why we often recommend a polyaspartic topcoat over epoxy for outdoor use. Here’s why this system works so well:

✅ UV Resistance

Unlike traditional epoxy, our polyaspartic finishes resist yellowing and fading in the sun. Your patio color stays rich and consistent.

✅ Slip Resistance

We add texture or anti-slip additives to keep the surface safe—even when it rains.

✅ Easy Cleaning

Spills, dirt, and weather buildup wash away with a hose and light scrub—no pressure washer needed.

✅ Custom Design

Choose from neutral tones or bold flake systems to match your landscaping, pool deck, or outdoor kitchen.

Common Customer Questions Answered

❓ Will epoxy hold up in Texas heat?

Yes—our coatings are designed to handle extreme heat and won’t soften, melt, or peel like some DIY alternatives.

❓ Can I coat an old, cracked patio?

Absolutely! We’ll repair cracks, grind the surface, and then apply the coating system so it looks new again.

❓ Will the coating get slippery when wet?

No—our coatings include slip-resistant additives to help protect against slips and falls in wet or humid conditions.
