Epoxy and polyurea flooring coatings are popular choices among property owners because they bring out the best in any type of flooring by sealing it from dirt, grime, and stains. Not only that but epoxy and polyurea flooring coatings are extremely easy to clean with an ordinary mop, making them very economical in the long run. Regardless of whether you’re looking to build up your home or workplace, it’s always best to invest in durable flooring that will last you years to come. Why not give epoxy and polyurea flooring coatings a try?
Cost
How much will it cost to use epoxy or polyurethane coating to repair my floor? While epoxies are typically more expensive than polyurethanes, they also come with more benefits. For example, when applied correctly, both will offer a very smooth surface. In addition, because epoxies cure for longer periods than polyurethanes, it may take less time to complete a project as well as fewer coatings; therefore, costing you fewer labor costs. However, epoxies tend to be more durable than polyurethanes. Epoxies can last up to 20 years before needing a re-coat whereas polyurethanes need re-coating every 5–7 years. If you’re looking for something that will last longer, go with an epoxy coating.
Installation Time
How long does it take to install epoxy or polyurethane? It all depends on several factors. The most important, however, is whether or not there’s already an existing floor covering. If not, then it usually takes one to two days to prepare and clean your concrete slab (or other surfaces) in preparation for installation. If you have any existing coverings such as tile or carpet, then that work will affect how quickly we can move forward with our own. In those cases, generally, two days are needed for prep work before we can start working on your project.
Technology
When people think about flooring, they often imagine boards made from a variety of materials, such as wood or marble. While these are both classic choices, there are many different options available today that may be better suited to your home or business. One option is epoxy or polyurethane floor coatings. These floors have several advantages over traditional flooring materials, including improved durability and lower cost over time. Read on to learn more about what you should consider when choosing an epoxy or polyurethane coating for your home or business, including
Lifetime Expectancy
The average life expectancy for a floor that has been properly applied is between 20-25 years. This means that you will most likely never have to remove your floors, but if you do, they can be easily replaced with new epoxy or polyurea coating. If a section were to crack or chip due to an accident or wear and tear, you would simply apply a touch-up kit to fix it. This can be done quickly by yourself at home, saving you time and money! It’s important to note that even though these coatings are very durable, they are not indestructible. They are still susceptible to damage from heavy objects like furniture being dropped on them or sharp objects like knives being dragged across them. It’s also important to remember that while these coatings last a long time, they do not last forever. However, unlike traditional hardwood floors which must be sanded down to refinish them, our coatings can be repaired instead of having to start over from scratch!
Durability
Both epoxy and polyurethane floor coatings are extremely durable. Both can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years without any significant deterioration. Most maintenance is on a superficial level (waxing, buffing, or sometimes re-coating), meaning you’ll spend less time taking care of your floors and more time getting on with your life. Just keep in mind that these coatings tend to wear well over time but may become dull or dingy over time due to heavy traffic, furniture scratching against them, etc.
Versatility
If you have bare concrete floors in your home, chances are you’re going to want to give them a new look. There are many ways to do that. If you’re looking for durability, resistance to moisture, chemical damage and other wear-and-tear factors that can be difficult on a floor, epoxy or polyurethane is your best bet. These materials provide your floors with an incredibly durable finish that’s resistant to wear over time. Plus, they come in a range of styles so it’s easy for anyone with any type of budget to find exactly what they need for their floor. Some coatings even resemble types of stone or wood!
