Poly-Coat System
High-Performance Protective Coatings for Concrete Surfaces
Poly coat systems provide a durable, seamless coating designed to protect concrete from moisture, wear, chemicals, and environmental exposure. At Premium Surface Solutions, we install professional poly coat systems that deliver long-term performance for residential, commercial, and industrial projects throughout Utah.
Our poly coat solutions are engineered for strength, flexibility, and longevity, making them ideal for demanding environments and high-traffic areas.
Poly-Coat
What Is a Poly-Coat System?
A poly coat system is a liquid-applied protective coating that cures into a seamless, non-porous surface. Once bonded to properly prepared concrete, it forms a strong barrier that resists water intrusion, abrasion, staining, and surface deterioration.
Unlike traditional coatings, poly coat systems remain flexible, allowing them to perform well in Utah’s changing temperatures while maintaining structural integrity and appearance over time.
Poly-Coat Applications
Poly coat systems can be customized for a wide range of uses, including:
- Garage floors and parking areas
- Basements and interior concrete floors
- Commercial and industrial facilities
- Balconies, patios, and covered exterior surfaces
- Mechanical rooms and utility areas
- Athletic and recreational concrete surfaces
Each system is selected based on surface condition, traffic levels, and exposure requirements.
Best Uses
- Garage floors and parking areasBalconies, decks, and patios
- Basements and interior concrete floors
- Commercial and industrial spaces
- Mechanical and utility rooms
- Athletic and recreational surfaces
Dealing with moisture, leaks, or water stains on your floors or deck?
Pros of Polycoat Waterproof Deck Coatings
1. Excellent Waterproof Protection
Polycoat systems create a continuous, seamless waterproof membrane that stops water from penetrating the deck substrate.
This prevents:
- Water damage to structure
- Interior leaks under living spaces
- Rot, mold, and wood deterioration
2. Freeze–Thaw Durability
In climates like Utah where temperatures fluctuate widely, Polycoat protects concrete from:
- Freeze–thaw cycles
- Surface scaling
- Spalling caused by trapped moisture
This extends the life of the deck surface significantly.
3. Chloride & Salt Resistance
from winter de-icers, pool areas, or marine environments can accelerate concrete deterioration.
Polycoat resists:
- Chlorides
- Saltwater intrusion
- Corrosion of embedded steel
This makes it ideal for bridges, balconies, garages, and pool decks.
4. Fast Cure & Traffic Return
Many Polycoat waterproofing systems cure quickly, allowing:
- Pedestrian traffic in hours
- Vehicle traffic in a short timeframe
This minimizes downtime on residential and commercial jobs.
5. Seamless, Monolithic Protection
Unlike sheet membranes or isolating layers, Polycoat:
- Has no seams or overlaps where water can sneak in
- Forms one continuous surface
- Doesn’t peel off like tapes or adhesives can
6. UV & Thermal Stability
Quality Polycoat systems stand up to:
- UV exposure
- Heat cycling
- Temperature extremes
This helps prevent chalking, cracking, and degradation over time — especially in sunny climates.
7. Slip-Resistant Finishes
Polycoat systems can be finished with textured broadcast or aggregates to provide:
- Safety under wet conditions
- Better traction around pools and outdoor stairs
8. Aesthetic Customization
You can choose finishes that:
- Match architectural design
- Lighten or darken surface color for heat management
- Blend with surrounding exterior materials
This makes them versatile for both functional and decorative use.
9. Enhances Structural Longevity
By keeping water out of the slab and preventing chloride ingress, Polycoat coatings protect:
- Reinforcement from rust
- Concrete from deterioration
- Structural integrity long-term
This can delay or eliminate costly repairs down the road.
10. Works Over Uneven or Old Concrete
Polycoat waterproof membranes can:
- Bridge small surface cracks
- Be applied over prepared existing decks
- Renew aged surfaces without full slab replacement
11. Minimal Maintenance
Once installed properly:
- Periodic cleaning is usually all that’s needed
- No waxing or frequent recoats like decorative floors
This translates to lower lifecycle costs.
Poly-Coat Applications
1. Elevated Residential Decks
Polycoat is ideal for outdoor wood or concrete decks attached to a home.Why it works well in Utah:
- Protects against rain and snow melt
- Prevents water intrusion into the home
- Resists freeze-thaw damage
- Helps avoid hidden rot and structural decay
Great for:
- Balcony decks
- Stair landings
- Multi-level patios
2. Covered Patios & Outdoor Living Spaces
Even covered areas can get moisture from wind-driven rain or condensation.
Polycoat waterproofing:
- Ensures that water stays where it belongs
- Protects underlying structure
- Prevents mold and mildew issues
Useful for:
- Pergola-covered decks
- Outdoor kitchens
- Roof-over patios
3. Commercial Outdoor Decks
For restaurants, hotels, apartment complexes, and retail spaces, Polycoat is a high-performance waterproof system that:
- Handles heavy foot traffic
- Withstands salt, ice melt & cleaning chemicals
- Provides a finished surface with decorative options
Important for:
- Rooftop terraces
- Balcony corridors
- Walkout patios
4. Concrete Balcony & Catwalk Systems
These are high-risk areas for rusting rebar and delamination due to water intrusion.
Polycoat systems:
- Seal the slab surface
- Block moisture and salts
- Protect reinforcement and structural integrity
5. Concrete Rooftop Terraces
Common in multi-family and commercial construction in Utah, rooftop terraces see:
- UV exposure
- Wind-driven moisture
- Thermal cycling
Polycoat systems provide:
- Waterproof membrane
- UV-stable finish
- Durable long-term protection
6. Under Tile or Pavers
When used as a waterproofing base:
- Polycoat prevents water from migrating through grout lines
- Protects below-grade or below-living-space structures
- Ideal for tiled balconies or patios above living spaces
Pros & Considerations
Pros
- Seamless, non-porous finish
