High-Quality, Long-Lasting Commercial Floor Coatings for Businesses Everywhere

Albany, United States - June 2, 2023 / Davis Construction Marketing /

Commercial floor coatings must be able to withstand much abuse and heavy traffic. Polyurea and polyaspartic floor coating systems have a high abrasion resistance and durable finish that protects concrete floors for many years. In this post, Fitzy’s Concrete Coatings explains why these systems make the ideal option for coating any concrete surface. 

What Are Polyurea and Polyaspartic Coatings?

Polyurea refers to a type of polyurethane that resembles epoxy but proves far stronger and more flexible. Depending on the formulation, it remains less volatile in sunlight and has higher abrasion resistance. Furthermore, it offers better traction.

Polyaspartic stems from an advance on the typical polyurea formulation as it is an aliphatic polyurea. While stronger than polyurea, it cures a little more slowly, making it easier to spread smoothly.

Contractors add polyaspartic to the mix to make it easier to install a polyurea base. The mixture delays the drying time slightly, still allowing a one-day installation. Polyaspartic contains UV protectants, allowing its use in full sunshine.

Polyaspartic is the more expensive of the two coatings and has less elasticity than polyurea. For this reason, it makes sense to use the former as a topcoat and the latter as a base coat. By combining both, companies get the best of both worlds at a reasonable price.

The Benefits of Polyurea and Polyaspartic Coatings

Consider the following reasons why businesses choose these commercial floor coatings.

One Day Installation

The polyaspartic slows the curing time but only for a short while. Employees can walk on the coated commercial floors within a few hours, and the space can be move-in ready 24 to 48 hours later. The typical installation takes a day.

UV Resistance

Traditional epoxy yellows and becomes brittle with age. Thanks to the UV protectants in polyaspartic, the same is not true for these coatings. With proper care, they won’t discolor, blush, or fade.

High Heat and Chemical Tolerance

The floors resist most chemicals, moisture, and high heat, making them ideal for industrial applications. In factories with particularly caustic chemicals, expert installers can adjust the formulation for added protection.

Safety

This high-traction, low-VOC coatings successfully keep employees safer in the workplace. In addition, companies can choose to install lighter colors to brighten dreary workspaces and install safety markings or direction markers directly into the floor as well. The flat, seamless surface removes tripping hazards and leaves no place for pathogens to congregate or penetrate the concrete floor.

Easy To Maintain

The flooring will not peel or flake, making regular maintenance unnecessary. Regularly cleaning the flooring is the most important task, which becomes an easy task because clean water will remove most marks. Aside from this, the company can buff out minor scratches or patch gouges as necessary.

Versatile Style

Companies that need investors or clients to visit their premises need to balance functionality with style. These commercial floor coatings enable businesses to do both effortlessly, as business owners have several ways to create a unique look. By choosing a range of additives, companies can customize the look.

Some incorporate their logo or brand colors. Others opt for a more generic flake floor. Thanks to pigments, flake, mica, and other additives, companies can effortlessly achieve a high-end look for less.

Bonds With Concrete

Concrete remains a durable material, but its porosity makes it less than ideal in many circumstances. Businesses wishing to keep the surface pristine must coat the surface. Traditional sealants prove effective but require renewal every year or two. Experts also advise against using floor paint as it peels off quickly.

Unlike traditional sealants and paint, polyurea coatings soak into the concrete pores and bond chemically to the surface. As a result, they wear away rather than peel off.

Available in Different Textures

In high-moisture environments or industries that deal with oil and other chemicals, safety comes into play. Work injuries in the U.S. cost $167 billion in 2021 and resulted in 103,000,000 lost work days.

Companies wishing to optimize safety can do so with a coating. A textured polyurethane coating can improve slip resistance in wet conditions by 60% and in oily conditions by 125%. With the addition of aggregates, companies can improve this factor even more.
