A generation ago, the words “concrete” and “flooring” didn’t often go together. Concrete was used for your home’s foundation, driveway, and garage floor… and that was about it!
Today, concrete floor finishes, glosses, and coatings have transformed the once cheap, purely functional material into an attractive flooring option for homes and businesses.
If you’re looking for a way to upgrade your concrete flooring, this article is for you. We will cover five of the best concrete finishes to improve the appearance and durability of your concrete.
Full Chip Coating
Full Chip, or Decorative Chip, coating is a three-layer system comprising a polyurea base, decorative chip, and a glossy topcoat. The decorative chip comes in various terrazzo-inspired patterns or natural stone. This type of concrete finish is much stronger than epoxy, cures in under three hours, stands up to UV light, and is nonslip and resistant to stains.
Medici® Coating
If you need stylish concrete floors for your driveway, home, showroom, patio, or pool deck, then the Medici® Polyurea Color Coating System is a great choice. Medici® decorative coating is available in various earth tones for a luxury appeal. It is a high-quality, wax-free finish that is more durable than acrylic or acid stain.
Metallic Coating
Metallic coating uses metallic powder to create an elegant sheen on concrete, wood, and tile flooring. You can opt for a two- or three-part process that involves a PolyCuramine™ base coat followed by a metallic layer and an optional glossy top coat. This flooring is high quality, extremely long-lasting, and doesn’t require waxing or additional upkeep.
Quartz Coating
Quartz Coating is a popular choice for nonslip surfaces for gyms, indoor pools, auto shops, and more. It uses colorful, sand-like granules to create a highly durable, OSHA-approved texture on the floor. A clear top coat seals the quartz for an attractive, maintenance-free finish.
Solid Color Coating
Whether you want a vibrant color like red, blue, or green or something more subdued like black or grey, a solid color coating could be the answer. This finish uses a layer of SLE-100 cyclo-aliphatic hybrid coating applied directly to the concrete. A single coat provides a smooth, anti-slip finish that lasts forever.
What’s more, this type of coating seamlessly fills in cracks and chips to create a smooth surface, making it a popular solution for damaged concrete.
