Floor coatings can be applied to almost any concrete or hardened surface, including a basement. Basement floor coatings can provide better protection against moisture and other damage. Your basement can be an entertaining space with a professional coating. Diamond Custom Coatings wants to create comfortable and inviting spaces thanks to floor coatings. Our team can breathe new life into a seemingly unappealing basement adding more value to your Louisville home.

Coatings Offer Protection From Different Types Of Damage

Installing a polyaspartic or epoxy floor coating is the best way to protect your floor from damage. Stains, dents, cracks, scratches, and more will be less likely when you have a professionally applied coating. Basements are one of the most at risk areas for damage, especially when it is used for family activities, workouts, or as an extra living space. Coatings will create a barrier between items and the porous subfloor. 

Hiring professionals to coat your basement gives it a longer usable life for whatever activity you deem fit. Coated floors can adapt to different activities that may occur in a basement. If your life situation changes, your coated basement floor can continue to serve your needs.

Adding Value To The Home

Your home is an investment, but it can depreciate over time and as trends evolve. Adding a floor coating to your home is similar to a remodel, meaning that the update to your home can increase the resale value of the home. Updating spaces in the home helps it to remain intact and be appealing to future buyers. While a coating can be removed, its long lasting nature can be appealing to the right people when looking for a modern and functional home.

Additional Benefits Of Floor Coatings

The number of benefits you can get from a coated floor are numerous. Depending on where the floor coating is placed, these are some of the benefits you could see in your home or business.

• Chemical resistance
• Durable against drops, tires, equipment, scrapes, and more
• Improved safety for children and pets
• Easier cleaning/low maintenance

FAQ’s

• Is The Floor Coating Process Dusty?

  During the preparation for a floor coating, the concrete may be ground down to help ensure proper adherence. A professional team will use specialized tools to keep dust and fumes to a minimum. Vacuums and professional grinders will trap the dust, keeping it from circulating in your home or garage.

• Will A Coating Protect My Floor During Flooding?

  Yes, if excess moisture or water gets into your basement the coating will prevent it from seeping into the concrete and foundation. However, floor coatings should not be your only line of defense against basement flooding. While a coating won’t have to be replaced after a flood like carpet, it can’t protect the water from damaging furniture or seeping to other parts of the home. Having a basement coating will make cleanup and rehabilitation after a flood much more feasible.

• Why Is A Basement Coating Better Than Carpet Or Tile?

  For starters, it is resistant to almost everything that can damage your carpet, including water, waste, paint, pet hair, chemicals, UV light, scratches, toys, heavy items, and more. Coatings are able to be cleaned and repolished quickly, so they stay looking new for much longer than carpet. While tile is more durable, it can easily be stained and scratch. These small imperfections can make the tile floors look old or worn even in just a few years.

  Basement floor coatings allow you to enjoy your basement without worrying about upkeep and cleaning constantly. They easily wipe down and can have patterns that hide dirt and debris. Coatings can also cover up imperfections that were on the subfloor. Cracks, dents, stains, or UV fading will be hidden when a professional coating is applied.
