Description
Outdoor Washed Stone Quartz Epoxy Flooring System
The Outdoor Washed Stone Quartz Epoxy Flooring System is a high-performance, resin-bound aggregate flooring solution designed for exterior concrete surfaces where durability, drainage, and slip resistance are critical. This system combines a premium epoxy resin binder with natural quartz and sand aggregates to create a textured, permeable, stone-like surface that is both functional and visually appealing.
Unlike interior self-leveling epoxy coatings, this washed stone system is engineered specifically for outdoor environments, allowing water to drain through the aggregate surface while maintaining strength and long-term performance. Ideal for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications, this system transforms ordinary concrete into a durable, decorative stone finish.
This is a long-term exterior flooring solution, not a temporary coating, and is engineered for weather resistance, safety, and durability.
Each 5-gallon kit covers up to 100 sq ft maximum. Actual coverage may vary based on surface conditions and application thickness. Always plan for additional material.
What’s Included in the Kit
-
Epoxy Resin Binder System
A specialized exterior-grade epoxy formulated to bind stone and quartz aggregates while maintaining strength and weather resistance. -
Natural Quartz / Sand Aggregate (Washed Stone System)
Premium washed stone and quartz aggregates designed to create a textured, slip-resistant, and drainable surface. -
Mixing & Application Components
Resin hardener, detailed installation instructions, and guidance for proper surface preparation and placement.
Primer & Application Tools NOT INCLUDED
🧱 Resin-Bound Aggregate System
This washed stone system uses a resin-bound method rather than a smooth self-leveling pour. The epoxy binds the aggregate together while allowing void space between stones, creating a natural stone appearance with improved drainage and traction.
🛡 Durability & Weather Resistance
Quartz and stone aggregates significantly enhance abrasion resistance, impact strength, and longevity. When properly installed, this system is suitable for outdoor foot traffic, patios, walkways, pool decks, and light vehicle areas, while withstanding temperature fluctuations and environmental exposure.
👣 Slip-Resistant & Drainable Surface
The exposed aggregate finish provides excellent slip resistance, even when wet. The permeable structure allows water to pass through the surface, reducing puddling and improving safety in outdoor environments.
🧼 Low Maintenance & Easy Cleaning
Once cured, the resin-bound stone surface resists dirt buildup and staining. Routine cleaning typically requires only rinsing or light washing, making it ideal for outdoor spaces where ease of maintenance is important.
🌀 Chemical & Stain Resistance
The epoxy binder resists oils, mild chemicals, cleaners, and environmental contaminants, helping maintain appearance and performance in outdoor settings such as driveways, patios, and commercial walkways.
🏡 Natural Stone Aesthetic
Natural quartz and sand aggregates provide a decorative, stone-like appearance that enhances outdoor spaces. Aggregate blends are available in multiple tones and can be selected to complement surrounding architecture or landscape design.
Performance Comparison
| Feature | Washed Stone Quartz Epoxy | Standard Epoxy Coating |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | Very High – aggregate reinforced | Moderate |
| Slip Resistance | High – textured stone surface | Low–Medium |
| Drainage | Yes – permeable system | No |
| Weather Resistance | Excellent | Limited |
| Appearance | Natural stone finish | Smooth, solid color |
| Maintenance | Low | Low |
The washed stone quartz epoxy system outperforms traditional epoxy coatings in outdoor traction, drainage, and durability, making it ideal for exterior applications.

Specifications & Technical Details
-
Abrasion Resistance: Excellent (aggregate reinforced)
-
Chemical Resistance: High
-
Slip Resistance: High (exposed aggregate)
-
Finish: Textured washed stone surface
-
Application Type: Resin-bound aggregate system
Package Sizes & Coverage Guidance
Coverage varies based on aggregate size, application thickness, and surface conditions.
Typical coverage: Approximately 100–125 sq ft per kit, depending on installation method.
-
Suitable for: Residential / Commercial / Exterior Use
-
Recommended Tools: Mixing drill, squeegee, trowel, aggregate spreader, concrete cleaner
Surface Preparation
Concrete must be structurally sound, clean, and properly sloped for drainage. All cracks, spalling, or defects must be repaired prior to application. Remove oil, grease, dirt, and contaminants using an appropriate concrete cleaner. The surface must be dry and free of debris before installation.
Application Method
Mix resin components according to manufacturer instructions. Working time is approximately 20–30 minutes, depending on ambient temperature.
Apply the resin binder evenly, then broadcast or mix aggregate as directed. Once the aggregate is set, excess stone is removed to expose the textured surface. Allow proper curing under dry, well-ventilated conditions before use.
