Protective, Decorative Coatings for Driveways and Walkways
Your driveway is the first thing people see, and in Chicagoland it takes a beating every winter from road salt, snow removal and freeze-thaw cycles. DuraCore Industrial protects and upgrades concrete driveways, walkways and front paths with durable, UV-stable coatings that resist stains, add grip and give your home's exterior a finished look.
Exterior concrete needs a different system than a garage floor. We use UV-stable polyaspartic coatings that won't yellow in the sun, broadcast with decorative flake for texture and color, so your driveway looks clean and uniform instead of stained and patchy.
The coating seals the surface against salt brine, oil drips and tire marks, which helps protect the concrete underneath from the damage that causes scaling and spalling.
Walkways, front steps and paths around the house get the same treatment: a seamless, textured coating with anti-slip additive for better footing when it's wet. Decorative borders and bands can frame a path or tie it into the driveway.
Before coating, we repair cracks and prepare the surface so the system bonds to sound concrete.
A driveway coating protects your concrete from winter damage and gives your home a clean, finished look from the street.
Sealing the surface keeps water and salt brine from soaking in, which helps protect the concrete from winter damage.
Oil drips, tire marks and leaves rinse off the sealed surface instead of staining the concrete.
Choose a flake blend and color that complements your home, with optional borders for a custom look.
UV-stable topcoats hold their color in direct sun and resist oil, salt and everyday stains.

Standard epoxy isn't the best choice outdoors because sunlight can make it yellow. For driveways we use UV-stable polyaspartic systems designed for exterior concrete.
We add texture with decorative flake and can include an anti-slip additive in the topcoat for better grip when it's wet. As with any surface, snow and ice should still be cleared and treated.
Yes. The coating is designed to handle de-icing salt and normal snow removal. Plastic or rubber-edged shovels and blades are gentler on any surface, and rinsing off salt residue in spring keeps it looking its best.
Many older driveways can be repaired and coated. We fill cracks and prepare the surface first. If the concrete is badly heaved or crumbling, we'll tell you honestly whether a coating makes sense.
It depends on the system and the weather. We'll tell you exactly when it's ready for foot traffic and for vehicles before we start.
