Epoxy Floor Coating Versus Polyaspartic Coating
TAGG Concrete Coatings typically recommends a polyurea basecoat with a polyaspartic top. However, they can also apply an epoxy coating in some cases.
Epoxy can be a good choice if you're refinishing or touching up your garage floors. It can also work well for areas that don't see a lot of foot traffic. Unfortunately, epoxy isn't the most durable coating and may chip, corrode, and even turn yellow from lactic acid.
Polyaspartic and polyurea floor coatings provide optimal durability. They’re particularly ideal for areas exposed to substantial foot traffic or extreme weather. In addition, polyaspartic-coated floors are less likely to break or crack when concrete expands or contracts.
Overall, polyaspartic provides heightened durability and scratch resistance. The TAGG Concrete Coatings can add texturization components to this coating, increasing slip resistance.
What Can You Use Concrete Coatings On?
Businesses
Many business owners use concrete coatings as a robust, slip-resistant option for their commercial floors. High-traffic areas like bathrooms, malls, restaurants, and warehouses benefit the most from concrete coatings.
Residential Areas
Homeowners often use concrete coatings to protect their garages, but many other areas also benefit. With more colors and design patterns today, install concrete floors with attractive coatings for your kitchen, bathroom, patio, and porches.
Concrete Countertops Sealers
Polyaspartic coating protects concrete countertops up to 350 degrees. It also prevents damage from highly acidic liquids like lemon juice or wine. Of course, you can choose an attractive color or design that makes your countertops stand out or integrate well with the rest of the room.
What Are the Benefits of Installing Concrete Coatings?
Concrete coatings provide six excellent benefits:
1. Added Durability and Protection
Whether you're protecting your basement, warehouse, kitchen, or garage, an epoxy or polyaspartic coating will strengthen it against all sorts of pressures, extreme weather, and more.
Furthermore, concrete coatings don't chip and can last for decades. In addition, regular maintenance sessions from TAGG Concrete Coatings will continually protect your floors.
2. Very Little Upkeep
Many floors require much work to maintain. However, concrete floor coatings necessitate minimal upkeep.
North Carolina can experience winter storms that will track in snow, dirt, ice, road salt, and more. Your garage will see a lot of this debris.
Unlike other garage floor coatings, tough polyaspartic coatings will protect your floors from any outside dirt and grime. Spray your floors or use a mop and bucket to wash off your concrete surfaces.
It’s also advisable to get your concrete floors waxed and sealed at least once a year. Taking this step will further cut down on maintenance needs.
3. Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective
Concrete coatings are the way to go if you care about the environment and want to reduce your carbon footprint. Concrete slabs are far more sustainable than using stones.
Moreover, vinyl, synthetic carpets, and hardwood floors release harmful chemicals into the air. Besides polluting the air, these chemicals lower indoor air quality and raise health risks. Concrete coatings eliminate these risks while also being very cost-efficient.
4. Increases Slip Resistance
Concrete is already more slip-resistant than other materials. Yet, accidents can still happen, especially during winter or rain.
Fortunately, a polyaspartic coating adds more slip resistance. You won’t have to worry about elderly family members or kids slipping and falling on your concrete.
5. Lots of Choices
While concrete floors have many advantages, they're not known for their beauty or elegant designs. However, the right coating can fix this shortcoming. TAGG Concrete Coatings provides a wide selection of colors and patterns to embellish your concrete.
6. A Hassle-Free Installation Process
Finally, installing your concrete coating is a safe and easy process. Whether you need to retouch your small garage or gut-renovate your commercial business, let the TAGG Concrete Coatings team help.
