Color: Ash Cloud
Outdoor Washed Stone Quartz Epoxy Floor Kit creates a decorative stone-textured finish for compatible exterior surfaces. Select from Ash Cloud, Autumn Sand, Steel Veil, and Graphite Shadow.
Choosing your kit
- Four decorative stone color options
- Resin-bound washed-stone appearance
- Designed for suitable prepared outdoor substrates, subject to product-specific instructions
Coverage and installation
The existing listing identifies a maximum coverage of 100 square feet per kit. Actual coverage depends on the substrate and installation thickness; confirm the kit contents, spread rate, and surface preparation with the current technical data before ordering.
Important waterproofing note
The washed-stone finish may allow water to pass through the surface. It is not a waterproofing membrane. For patios or decks above a basement, living area, or other enclosed space, a separate, appropriately designed waterproofing and drainage assembly is required beneath the finish. Consult a qualified waterproofing professional before installation.
Color appearance
Review the individual color images before selecting a variant. Actual color and texture can vary with lighting, aggregate distribution, and installation.
Not paint. Not a coating. A permanent floor system.
Most garage floor products you see at hardware stores are 1-part acrylic or latex epoxy paints. They look like epoxy, they're marketed like epoxy, but they sit on top of concrete without a true chemical bond. Hot tire pickup, oil spills, and foot traffic degrade them within 1โ3 years.
Our system is a true 2-part bisphenol A epoxy resin that chemically cross-links with the concrete surface on a molecular level. It doesn't just sit on top โ it bonds into the concrete profile. That's why it lasts 10โ20 years under conditions that destroy paint-based coatings in a season.

Why the quartz aggregate makes all the difference
The silica quartz sand isn't just decorative. When it embeds into the wet epoxy, it:
- โAdds hardness and impact resistance that plain epoxy can't achieve alone
- โCreates a natural non-slip texture โ safer than smooth epoxy or polished concrete
- โPrevents micro-cracking from thermal expansion and contraction cycles
- โGives the floor its signature stone-like depth and texture that paint can never replicate

Surface Preparation (Most Important Step)
Clean thoroughly โ remove all grease, oil, dust, and contaminants with a concrete degreaser. Repair cracks and holes. Grind or shot-blast the surface to open the pores and create a mechanical profile for bonding. A properly prepped floor bonds for 20+ years. A rushed prep fails in 12โ18 months regardless of product quality.
โฑ 2โ4 HoursPrimer (Recommended for Older Concrete)
Apply primer to porous or previously coated surfaces. Primer fills micro-pores, dramatically improves adhesion, and prevents off-gassing bubbles. Allow full cure before proceeding. Especially important on concrete older than 5 years.
โฑ Per product labelMix Part A + Part B
Combine at the exact ratio on the label using a drill and paddle mixer. Mix thoroughly for 2โ3 minutes โ unmixed streaks will not cure correctly. You have 20โ30 minutes of working time (pot life). Work in manageable sections for larger floors.
โฑ 20โ30 min per kitPour, Spread, and De-Foam
Pour the mixed epoxy onto the floor and spread with a 22" squeegee to achieve an even layer. Immediately follow with a spiked de-foaming roller โ pass over the surface multiple times in overlapping rows to release trapped air bubbles and embed the quartz aggregate.
โฑ 30โ60 min per areaCure and Enjoy
Allow to cure in a dry, ventilated space. Walkable in ~24 hours, light use after 48 hours, full cure at 72 hours (68ยฐF+). Avoid water for 7 days, heavy loads for 5 days. After full cure, your floor is chemical-resistant, easy to clean, and built to last decades.
