The pre-mixed, self-priming formula shines beautifully with decorative real stone speckles.

Designed to resist chemicals and water, RollerRock OPTIMA performs exceptionally well in all climates, from freezing winters with salting and snow shoveling to scorching summers under harsh UV rays. The durable product also resists mold, mildew, stains, impacts and abrasions.

RollerRock OPTIMA is fast and easy to use. Preparation includes pressure washing the intended surface and letting the area dry. Then apply two coats of RollerRock OPTIMA – rolling on horizontally or using a trowel for a vertical application. Once dry, top off with a sealer. Hi-Build Ultra™ Clear Coat with Urethane is recommended for wall applications, while Garage & Driveway Concrete Sealer is suggested for horizontal surfaces.

How this homeowner tranformed their home’s exterior with RollerRock®.

How do you transform a dull, brown stucco home exterior into a neighborhood showpiece? Try hand-stenciling a faux brick pattern on the house using four different colors of RollerRock® from Daich Coatings.

 “I’ve always been interested in art, inventing and trying new things,” says Greg Garrett, from Alliance, Nebraska. “If most people go left, I go right. I like new and innovative ideas, and this stone coating piqued my interest as a way to finish the stucco part of the house.”

Steps to success

Greg got it “right” when he decided back in 2006 to do something no one else had done before — create a unique, random color pattern by mixing and rolling on the real stone paint. He used a base coat of medium brown, and then mixed the base coat with three different colors to create different brick highlights.

“I purchased several large rolls of self-adhesive paper stencils with a running brick pattern,” says Greg. “Then I worked randomly over the entire stencil by dabbing the different colors on the house. It was very labor-intensive, but had extremely realistic results.”

Realistic results

Greg painted around the entire home exterior, transforming the house and creating enhanced curb appeal. He even continued the pattern up the fireplace chimney on the roof and used RollerRock on an 18-inch foundation around the bottom of the house.

“Most people believe we have real brick on our home,” says Greg. “For 14 years the RollerRock has held up great. I put a clear sealer over it every two to three years. Where there are minimal cracks I go back and repaint them with RollerRock. Overall, the product has held up great and given new life to the exterior of our home!”

More on RollerRock

The real stone coating of RollerRock resists freeze/thaw conditions, mold, mildew, water and UV rays. Traditionally used on horizontal surfaces (like walkways and driveways), the durable product also resists salt, chemical, impact and abrasion, along with hot tire pickup. Available in 15 colors, RollerRock is laboratory tested to provide up to double the recommended OSHA slip-resistance rating. Two coats is all it takes to achieve a lasting textured stone floor that delivers added foot traction and safety to walking surfaces.

SpreadRock WALL transformations can be completed in just one weekend, providing years of lasting beauty to a home’s exterior.

Adding curb appeal to the home during National Curb Appeal Month in August can be achieved by spreading on SpreadRock® WALL, an authentic three-step speckled granite coating system. Ideal for enhancing house walls, foundations, retention walls and fixtures like columns and porch posts, the elegant stone finish can be added to home exteriors for just $67 a gallon.

Available in nine stunning granite colors, SpreadRock WALL transformations can be completed in just one weekend, providing years of lasting beauty to a home’s exterior. The durable real stone coating withstands the rigors of daily life and all types of weather conditions.

Dependable durablity

The SpreadRock WALL coating system can be applied to concrete, masonry, cement panels, brick, stucco and drywall. When applying to exterior walls, pressure washing the surface should take place prior to the SpreadRock WALL PRIMER being rolled on. Once finished, the SpreadRock WALL coating system resists water, snow, salt, chemicals, mold, mildew, UV light, impact and abrasion, along with excessive heat and bitter cold temperatures.

Weekend project: Easy three-step transformation

There are three coatings within the SpreadRock WALL coating system. The first step is to roll on SpreadRock® WALL PRIMER. This forms the initial surface bond and firmly locks together with the granite coating in the second step.

Once the SpreadRock WALL PRIMER is dry, then two thin layers of SpreadRock® WALL GRANITE are applied with a trowel to the wall a few hours apart. The stone should be allowed to cure overnight. Once fully dried, SpreadRock® WALL SEALER, the third step, is rolled on in two even coats to add protection from water, dirt and stain to the finished product. The bonding technology and real stone composition ensure solid adhesion, superior flexibility and dependable durability for both interior and exterior projects. “There’s no better way to increase curb appeal on vertical surfaces than with the refined speckled granite stone in the SpreadRock WALL coating system,” says Peter Daich, president of Daich Coatings. “This DIY project instantly adds personality and increased value to a home. Just spread it on for an immediate and lasting upgrade.”

Spreading Horizontally

For homeowners wishing to extend their curb appeal DIY efforts to horizontal surfaces, such as steps, walkways and porches, Daich recommends the following spreadable products:

• SpreadStone™ OPTIMA Decorative Concrete Kit: Instantly rejuvenate dull, cracked, or stained concrete with this real stone coating system.

How Daich's TracSafe® Anti-Slip Sealer prevents accidents. 

Happy five year anniversary to Mike Sheahan! That’s how long he’s been enjoying TracSafe® Anti-Slip Sealer on his patio.

A resident of Glendale, Arizona, Mike knows what it’s like to live in a hot area. He applied the TracSafe to his covered patio in August of 2021. That’s when the temperature was 95 as a morning low! Since then he reports that the product not only has worked well, but it’s actually cooler to the touch than his pool deck. Since his family almost lives in their pool, Sheahan wants to make sure they are protected when coming out dripping wet and proceed to the patio area.

Bringing safety home

“The tiles on our patio definitely get slippery when wet,” says Mike. “The traction of TracSafe has just enough slip resistancy to help prevent accidents from slipping.”

As instructed, Mike used two coats of TracSafe on his patio to get complete coverage. Before applying TracSafe, he decided to hand-sand the entire area with 40-grit to remove any “pointy grains” existing on the surface. He reflected on the project: 

The finished TracSafe product is awesome. It’s actually cooler on the feet than the existing pool decking. We’ve received many, many comments on the quality and appearance of the TracSafe finish. This project has inspired me to get the cracks fixed on our pool deck. I want to recoat and reseal it with TracSafe!
