If your home or business has concrete flooring, then you understand how cold and uninspiring it can be. While concrete flooring systems offer strength and affordability, you’ll always deal with constant dust, stains, and frequent repairs. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
The experts at TAGG Concrete Coatings can make your concrete surfaces look nicer and more durable with high-quality floor coatings. Read on to understand the benefits of installing a coating system over your old concrete surface.
Tops Reasons To Invest in Concrete Floor Coatings
Concrete floors provide the foundation of your residential or commercial property, and you can enhance their functionality and aesthetic appeal by adding a quality concrete coating. Concrete coatings offer a wide range of benefits, including:
Cost-effective Flooring
Concrete floor coatings rank as one of the most affordable options to transform your home or workplace. They are more affordable than wood, vinyl, tile, stone, and other flooring options.
You can transform your old concrete floor with an epoxy coating for a fraction of the price of other materials. HomeAdvisor says the average installation cost for ceramic or porcelain tile flooring ranges between $4 and $115 per square foot.
On the other hand, you can expect to pay between $3 and $12 per square foot for epoxy flooring installation, including materials and labor costs. Also, unlike other flooring options, concrete floor coatings need less-frequent replacement.
Improved Safety
Safety is among the most critical considerations when looking for the best flooring material for your residential or commercial space. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) points out that floors and flooring materials rank as a leading cause of slip-and-fall accidents, accounting for over two million fall injuries annually.
Adding a slip-resistant coating to your indoor or outdoor surface can minimize the risk of slipping, tripping, and falling, making it safer to walk on, even when wet. Floor coatings can also enhance the safety of your workplace by improving the floor’s resistance to impact, heat, and fire.
Another way concrete coatings can improve safety stems from enhancing visibility. You can use high-gloss coatings to brighten darker work areas.
Exceptional Resistance to Wear and Tear
The beating from the heavy vehicle and foot traffic, especially in busy environments like factories and workshops, wears down your traditional concrete surface gradually over time. Additionally, hot tires, chemical spills, and other external factors can adversely impact your concrete floor’s integrity and durability.
Adding a coating over your concrete floor creates an extra layer of protection that enhances its damage resistance, significantly improving its lifespan.
Improved Aesthetic Appeal
Many homeowners who install concrete coatings in Wake Forest do so to improve their property’s visual appearance. Concrete coatings provide endless options in style, design elements, colors, patterns, textures, and finish.
They also make a versatile option for use in commercial and residential applications. You can use concrete floor coatings in warehouses, assembly lines, hospitals, garages, schools, shipping facilities, and other commercial properties.
For residential applications, you can use them in basements, garages, mudrooms, utility rooms, and other areas for functional and aesthetic reasons.
Mold Resistance
Once you install a coating, your new flooring will be 100% non-porous, leaving no space for mold and moss to hide. A quick cleaning will eliminate any mold or moss growth. You won’t worry about mold infestation that can pose health risks to you and your loved ones.
Low Maintenance
You need more effort and time to care for traditional concrete floors, whereas coated concrete surfaces are easy to maintain. You only need a mop and a mild cleaner to keep your floors sparkly clean.
The easy maintenance makes floor coatings an excellent option for surfaces prone to dirt and spills, such as garages, workshops, and laundry rooms. You can also ensure that concrete floors in high-traffic areas stay strong for years by getting them sealed and waxed at least once or twice a year.
Fast Cure Time
TAGG’s polyurea and polyaspartic floor coatings only take one day to install because of their fast cure time. If your coating installation project extends beyond one day, it probably involves a space larger than 2,000 square feet or includes extensive prep work.
The easy and quick installation makes polyaspartic and polyurea floor coatings a favorite for property owners. With these coatings, you can upgrade your floors with minimal downtime. They are ideal for transforming your garage, basement, patio, restaurant, or other surfaces.
A notable downside of these concrete coating materials is that they aren’t DIY friendly, and you shouldn’t try to install them yourself. You must hire an experienced professional to install your polyurea or polyaspartic coatings. Their fast cure time leaves no room for mistakes, and you need adequate resources to complete the project properly.
Guaranteed to Last
TAGG’s concrete coatings have a generous 15-year warranty against chipping and peeling. With this kind of warranty, you can expect your floor to look its best for decades. When you choose these floor coatings, you can rest assured you’ll enjoy a beautiful basement or garage floor for years.
