Services
Single Color Coating
Stardek's Single Color Coating provides a slip-resistant, oil-resistant finish for concrete surfaces. Ideal for pool decks and driveways, it bonds permanently to concrete without requiring resealing. Available in custom colors, this solution combines durability with aesthetic flexibility for both residential and commercial applications.
Stamped Overlay
Stamped Overlay creates realistic brick, stone, or wood textures on concrete surfaces. Suitable for driveways, patios, and interiors, it offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional materials. The system resists wear and enhances visual appeal while maintaining slip resistance and durability in high-traffic areas.
Paver Saver
Paver Saver is a clear sealer designed to protect paver surfaces from weathering and stains. It restores color vibrancy while forming a durable barrier against moisture and UV damage. This solution extends the lifespan of entryways, pool decks, and driveways without altering their original appearance.
StarChip
StarChip delivers a granite-like finish for garage floors and commercial spaces. Its textured surface resists abrasion and chemicals, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional durability. Available in multiple color blends, it transforms plain concrete into elegant, low-maintenance surfaces suitable for residential and industrial use.
Acid Stain
Acid Stain creates translucent, marbleized effects on concrete surfaces. This solution reacts chemically with the substrate to produce permanent, three-dimensional color variations. Ideal for both residential interiors and commercial spaces, it offers a unique alternative to traditional tile while maintaining concrete's inherent strength.
