Appreciate your assistance.

Bought a house with a covered patio, and the cement slab floor was painted at one time, but the paint is flaked off in all sorts of places. In additon, it has a crack, but that is a different issue.

Is there some way to cover up the cement slab with some type of vynil tile or comparable product? Not interested in ceramic tiles or in outdoor carpeting.

Thanks for your reply.

Vinyl tiles are not recommended for exterior applications. Paint will have to be removed because of adhesion problems if applying a new covering.
