Driveway Coatings

Driveway Coatings: Does your concrete driveway look a little tired?
Australia’s climate with its scorching sun and torrential rain can take a toll on your driveway, leaving it looking less than its best.
Keeping your driveway in good condition can make a big difference to the appearance of your home, and even your own safety when it comes to a slippery surface.

One of the easiest ways to improve the look of your driveway and protect it from harsh weather conditions is to coat it using Shieldcoat’s four-step system.
This is a scientifically developed Australian coating system that is easy to apply, and that will keep your driveway in top condition for years.

Floor Shield Fleck System Process

There is a special process that we follow to prepare your concrete driveway before we can apply the Fleck Coat
– Pressure Wash, all dirt and other contaminants must be removed from the concrete surface before we apply any concrete coatings
– Repair any defects in the concrete such as cracks and chips using Stencilshield Slab Repair, we smooth the crack repairs using a damp sponge
– We tape up with with plastic drop sheet protectors to prevent over spray on nearby surfaces
– We apply a coat of Stencilshield Primer Plus as a sealer and undercoat
– Next we apply the stencilshield base and top coat, depending on the conditions we may trowel, squeegie or spray the coatings
– The stencilshield only needs to be applied at 1.2m2 per liter, we then sand lightly if required to knock off any peaks
– Existing Saw cut lines are cleared using a thin blade grinder to maintain those existing expansion joints
– The new surface is then blown clean to remove any dust left from the sanding
– The top coat is sprayed to achieve a consistent and fine texture at around 1 liter each 3m2, heavy coats are not desired
– The Fleck Coat is then applied over the base coat, 4 liters of fleck coat covers around 50 m2 or so
– We now remove all of the painters drop sheets ready for the clear coat application
– We use Floorshield Same Day Clear Coat Top Sealer which we apply either with a roller broom or airless spray gun, as required depending on site conditions
