Have you recently purchased a new home or business with concrete floors? Or perhaps the old coating in your garage is beginning to wear down and a new one is needed.
For business and home owners alike, it’s important to keep your garage safe from wear and tear, and to keep it looking pristine and well-maintained. Concrete garage floor coatings are a perfect way to keep your garage in such immaculate condition. Coating your concrete floors avoids the cracks and imperfections that raw concrete is prone to.
Concrete Garage Floor Coating Options
There are multiple options for coating depending on the usage of the space as well as budget. Epoxy and polyurea are two of the main coatings, with the better of the two being polyurea.
Many choose this option over epoxy because of its many advantages. These include UV and moisture resistance, as well as its long-term durability. Polyurea coatings are also more slip-resistant and that makes them perfect for both personal and commercial use.
Polyurea Coating Maintenance
Not only are polyurea coatings strong and resilient to multiple kinds of impact and chemicals, but they’re easy to take care of as well. To make the most of this concrete coating it’s important to keep up with proper maintenance. Daily to weekly cleaning with a soft bristled broom, and, if needed, a microfiber mop. Paper and hand towels can also be used for small spills.
But don’t get behind on maintenance. Although durable, polyurea-coated floors should be cleaned regularly, as stains may harden or become difficult to remove. This damages not only the coating itself but the look of your garage. A new and shiny-looking garage floor increases home and business value and creates an overall appearance of care. This can also create a safety hazard.
One of the main uses for garages is storage or housing of large equipment and materials. However you should keep in mind that dragging heavier items around isn’t the best for the coating. This can not only wear down the coating and expose the concrete, but lead to staining and other marks. Using common sense while moving tools and machines will help ensure your floor is clean and unblemished.
An easy way to avoid an undue mess on the floor is by placing mats, pads, and other alyers between the floor itself and your item. This will keep your floors free from mud, rain, and other environmental factors, as well as reduce the risk of slipping and damage caused by debris. Simple rubber-backed rugs can help keep things clean, and give a perfect place for foot traffic.
