In 2020, the concrete floor coatings market reached a value of $1.23 billion. This is clearly a popular option for consumers!
When coating your floor there are a number of options available, and among the best of them is polyurea coating.
Are you curious about why this flooring type is so popular? For 5 advantages of having a polyurea garage floor, keep reading.
1. Durability
To many, this would be the most important advantage of polyurea. It is incredibly durable and resistant, which is ideal for a garage floor.
Your floor is going to see a lot of wear and tear, so you don’t want it to be easily damaged.
Polyurea is very flexible compared to epoxy. The elasticity of polyurea means that when a lot of weight is on it, the flooring will move, rather than crack.
It is also resistant to chemicals and water, which are a big part of car maintenance. Your floor will not be damaged or stained if there are any spillages.
Our coatings are also UV resistant. Natural sunlight will not cause your floor to fade as it does with epoxy flooring.
Our polyurea floorings are even durable enough for outside use.
2. Maintenance
Polyuria requires very little maintenance, or sometimes even none at all. It is generally more expensive than other coatings initially, but other floorings often need to be repaired or recoated every few years.
This isn’t necessary with polyurea flooring, so it can actually save you money in the long run.
It is also non-porous. This means that any liquid spills can easily be wiped up without the risk of it seeping in.
3. Safety
In a workshop environment, safety is always one of the highest concerns. Our polyurea floors are naturally slip-resistant, and the vinyl chips used in the coating provide a texture that gives more traction.
This is especially helpful in rainy or snowy conditions when the risk of someone slipping is heightened.
This is ideal for your company as it helps protect your employees, as well as your customers.
4. Fast Curing
Once your floor is coated, the last thing you want to do is have to wait around.
Epoxy floor coatings can sometimes take days to fully cure. With polyurea, however, it is typically just a few hours until you can touch the floor. Within a day it will be fully cured and you can start bringing cars onto it.
You’re then able to proceed with any other set-ups you need, and immediately start conducting business.
5. Appearance
The vinyl chips used for our polyurea floor coatings give the floor a very desirable finish. These coatings are customizable, with 3 types to choose from:
- Full Chip System
- Quartz System
- Solid Color System
Each has its own advantages, and several color options are available.
