Outdoor epoxy?

[Tunajoe]

Looking for some suggestions regarding what to place on the front steps of my office building.
The PO glued outdoor carpet down and it looks like hell.
They also had a wheel chair ramp added.
Would epoxy with plenty of UV inhibitor and non skid work?
Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Not to state the obvious, but tile won't work as I don't want a trip hazard at the wheel chair ramp.

Tunajoe - I believe the big issue with using epoxy outside is that it will yellow. Inhibitors slow the yellowing process and make a big difference in situations where the epoxy is subject to minimal or no sunlight. Also, being outside if you put a non-breathable coating there is a chance for moisture to push up and cause the coating to lift.

Have you considered removing the carpet/adhesive and then prep the concrete for a stain and breathable sealer?

Thanks for the reply.
I'm considering anything that would look better!
I just don't want it slippery.

Grind it, trowel on a decorative overlayment, stain and seal.

Hi,
You could use our Armor Renew textured surfacer or our ArmorTop textured outdoor acyrlic epoxy. Won't yellow.

That looks excellent!
When I review all the options I'm sure I'll have a question or two.
Thanks!
