Prevent Moisture From Soaking Into Your Deck

Waterproof deck coatings cause moisture to bubble up and puddle on the surface of your deck, as opposed to being absorbed by it. This way, whether it’s just rained or one of your children has accidentally sent their juice flying, it’s easy to just wipe it up. This prevents stains, deterioration, spalling, and other types of unsightly damage. Since waterproof deck coatings do need to be reapplied, you can tell when it’s time to have your deck recoated when the moisture starts to soak into your deck, rather than resting atop it. This also prevents cracks, mold growth, and other issues that could put people at risk of injury.

Increase Your Deck’s Lifespan

It’s natural to assume that your concrete doesn’t need any help in order to stay in good condition; it is a common misconception bandied about, after all. However, canyons are formed by centuries of erosion. Concrete is not impervious to moisture damage, especially not since it’s quite a porous surface. This means that it’s remarkably easy for it to absorb water.

When you apply waterproof deck coatings, you’re doing yourself and your property a favor. Deck coatings form a protective barrier between your deck and the water that would otherwise cause problems. This greatly increases your deck’s lifespan.

Enjoy Slip-Resistance For Increased Safety

If you live somewhere that gets a lot of rain or snow, or if you simply have accident-prone, clumsy children, your deck may be slick more often than not. This presents slip-and-fall hazards to everyone, but especially to any seniors, children, and those with limited mobility. Waterproof deck coatings increase the safety of your deck by making it slip-resistant. They create an orange-peel-like texture that allows for traction without abrasion to bare feet. You’ll still want to be careful, of course. But with waterproof deck coatings, you can enjoy more peace of mind about walking on your deck after the latest thunderstorm.

Give Your Property Value A Boost

Waterproof deck coatings decrease maintenance costs by making your deck easier to clean and by preventing expensive repairs. They improve your property’s safety. They’re also easy on the eyes, boosting the curb appeal of your space. Since outdoor living spaces are an enviable asset, when you have waterproof deck coatings installed, you can increase the value of your property.

This is because deck coatings make your property more liveable, enjoyable, attractive, and easier to take care. With more living space and a lovely outdoor gathering space, if you’re planning to sell anytime soon, this is an investment you can enjoy ROI on.
