5 Do-it-Yourself Concrete Solutions For National Curb Appeal Month

HAMILTON, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 28, 2022 / In August, homeowners embarking on DIY projects can add both curb appeal and increased value to their home exterior. During National Curb Appeal Month, experts at Daich Coatings offer several cost-effective ways to improve the exterior of a home.

"If you can paint, then you can roll on ways to improve the appearance of your concrete walkway, driveway, steps and porch," says Peter Daich, president of Daich Coatings. "These easy projects make a big first impression on your friends and neighbors. It's a fast way to step up the look of your property at a price that won't bust a budget."

For more than 20 years Daich Coatings has offered a variety of real stone coating solutions. Each product is made of a selected mix of stone in a specialized bonding polymer. "These are not concrete paints," says Daich. "These products provide a durable, beautiful finish with proven long-term performance against extreme cold temperatures, soaring heat, UV rays and severe weather conditions. Everything needed to add lasting curb appeal to a home."

Project #1

For the authentic look of tile or natural stone, the SpreadStone^™ Decorative Concrete Resurfacing Kit has unique appeal. A specialized applicator for achieving stunning decorative results is included, making it easy for anyone to apply. The versatile pre-mixed real stone coating resists cracks, impact, abrasions and chemicals.

The product rolls on easily over a primed seamless or stenciled surface. After the first coat dries, a second coat in a different color may be applied to create a unique color distinction.

A kit covering 100 square feet is available for $144.95; kits covering 400 square feet sell for $490. Available in five finishes: Lake Rock, Cold Gold Slate, Midnight Slate, Sun Ledge and Summit Grey.

Project #2

Cover ugly, blotchy concrete sidewalk and porch surfaces with two coats of TracSafe^® Anti-Slip Color Coat in Graphite, Shell Grey, Cream, Clay Brick or Terracotta. The light stone speckle sparkles in the sunshine. Then finish off with two light coats of TracSafe^® Anti-Slip Sealer for a safe, anti-slip surface.

"By starting with the color coating, you add a beautiful, uniformly-colored finish to a surface," says Daich. "Finishing it off with the clear sealer protects the coating from dirt, water and chemicals, and adds another level of slip-resistance to the ground."

Both TracSafe products have been tested and achieved ratings up to twice the industry-recommended safety standard. TracSafe Anti-Slip Color Coat sells for $54.95 a gallon and TracSafe Anti-Slip Sealer sells for $58.95 a gallon.

Project #3

SpreadRock^® provides an elegantly authentic speckled granite coating ideal for porches, steps, walkways and entrances. The coating can be spread on with an easy trowel application on both horizontal and vertical surfaces. The bonding technology and real stone composition ensure solid adhesion, superior flexibility and dependable durability.

One-gallon containers sell for just $47.95 in enticing colors of Mocha, Anvil, Ice Grey Brownstone, Flint Grey, Sandstone and Sante Fe. Like other Daich Coatings products, SpreadRock resists rain, snow, salt, chemicals, mold, mildew, UV light and hot tire pickup, along with excessive heat and bitter cold temperatures.

Project #4

Porches, walkways and steps benefit from easy-to-apply RollerRock^®. Requiring no primer, the real stone coating comes in 15 colors and provides a clean, speckled stone appearance.

A Stone Texture Roller helps achieve a rustic, textured stone anti-slip surface. Two coats of RollerRock are recommended about three to four hours apart, followed by a clear sealer the next day. One gallon containers sell for $48.95, with Hi-Build Ultra Sealer selling for $49.95 a gallon.

Project #5

Terrazzo^™ decorative granite resurfacer comes in seven pre-mixed colors, including Silverado, Pearl Grey, Iceberg, Moonscape, Café, Glacier and Tangiers. The fine grade of stone creates a superior coating that rolls on and offers the beauty of real granite.

"This product covers and hides hairline cracks and minor flaws in existing surfaces," says Daich. "It completely goes over the existing concrete facade with a flexible, water-tight and easy-to-clean finish."

A gallon of Terrazzo covers up to 60 square feet of surface space and costs $54.95. Two coats are recommended for a beautiful granite finish. A sealer is recommended for surface protection.

Daich Coatings primers and decorative concrete products are available online at Lowe's^®, The Home Depot^® or at Daich Coatings.
