When it comes to protecting and enhancing concrete surfaces, an epoxy coating offers durability, style, and longevity. However, there are various types of epoxy coating available, each with their own benefits to consider.
Here are a few things to know about epoxy in general and the epoxy coating options we offer:
- Epoxy: Epoxy is a two-part system combining resin and hardener to form a tough, high-gloss surface. It’s ideal for garages, basements, and commercial floors that need chemical resistance and easy cleaning. Epoxy coatings provide a seamless finish and can be customized with decorative flakes or metallic effects.
- Polyaspartic Concrete Coating: A newer technology, polyaspartic coatings cure much faster—often within hours—making them perfect for projects that need minimal downtime. They offer superior UV stability, so they won’t fade or yellow outdoors, and they perform well in extreme temperatures. Polyaspartic coatings are commonly used in garages, showrooms, and outdoor patios where rapid installation and long-term durability are essential.
- Polyurethane Concrete Coating: Polyurethane coatings are highly flexible and resistant to abrasions and chemicals, making them ideal for high-traffic commercial or industrial floors. They provide excellent colour retention and are less brittle than epoxy, which helps absorb impacts better.
- Resin Concrete Coating: Resin coating is a broad term encompassing epoxy, polyurethane, and other resin-based systems. Resin coatings enhance surface strength, improve aesthetics, and protect against moisture and stains.
Ultimately, the right choice depends on your environment, usage, and desired finish. Contact our team today to learn more about the epoxy coating options we offer.
