Floor Coatings
Every building has unique needs that floor coatings can help with. Protecting the subfloor is just one benefit of epoxy or polyaspartic floor coatings; in fact, they can help reduce injuries, streamline cleaning, and make the building resistant to UV damage. Floor coatings that are professionally applied can help make your space a safer place to use and enjoy. Let’s look at the benefits of floor coatings for surfaces outside the garage.
Extend The Benefits Of Garage Coatings
Coating your garage floor has multiple benefits, but did you know that coating other concrete surfaces can provide the same benefits? Polyaspartic coatings can be applied to indoor and outdoor settings to extend the life of the concrete. Depending on where the floor is located, these coatings can either prevent cracks and stains to the concrete or help it resist UV damage.
Floor coatings will also help streamline your cleaning and maintenance in these areas. Concrete that is in high-traffic areas can wear down quickly and is more vulnerable to discoloration. Coated floors require less maintenance, fewer repairs, and easier cleaning. The smooth surface makes mopping and sweeping much easier, especially when spills or debris are present.
Floors That Can Benefit From Coatings
If you aren’t looking to coat your garage floor, there are additional places around your home or business that can benefit from a coating. Diamond Custom Coatings can apply epoxy or polyaspartic to the following areas to improve the appearance and functionality.
Patios
Areas that are subject to weather and pests can benefit from a durable coating to protect them from stains or damage. Applying a floor coating to your patio or porch can go a long way in protecting it, especially during harsh weather conditions. Durable coatings will also keep the patio from fading in the sun. Polyaspartic coatings won’t discolor in the sun, so your investment will still look brand new years down the road. A bright and bold colored coating will make the entrance or entertainment space of your home more inviting.
Basements
If you aren’t wanting to put traditional flooring down in your basement, you should still apply an additional barrier to protect family members and the floor. Most basements have a reputation for being uncomfortable and cold, which keeps homeowners from utilizing the space to its full potential. Basement floor coatings improve the appearance of the space while also helping you to maintain a clean home. Coating your basement can make it a more functional space for entertaining, watching your favorite sport, working from home, or working out. Floor coatings can transform the area of your home and add great additional value to your home.
Pool Decks
Protecting the area around your pool can be done with professional floor coatings. Pool decks see the strong chemical of chlorine, damage from the sun, and run the risks of consistent moisture. A polyaspartic pool coating will be able to withstand constant sun exposure, heavy foot traffic, and pool cleaning chemicals. Our professionals can help make your pool safer as well by creating a slip-resistant surface around the pool. Slips and falls around the pool deck are common, but having a coating with some texture will lower the risk of these accidents on a calm summer day.
Commerical Businesses
In businesses with heavy foot traffic, strong cleaning chemicals, or heavy equipment traffic, a floor coating is necessary. Commercial businesses often need industrial-strength floors to minimize the number of repairs needed in the workspace, but these floors can be unforgiving. Adding a floor coating will be easier on the feet of your employees, prevent dents from dropped tools or products, and prevent bacterial growth. Floor coatings are durable enough to withstand an industrial setting while still looking sleek.

FAQ’s
-
How Often Does My Coated Floor Need To Be Cleaned?
Once you have a coating applied and it is fully cured, you will be able to clean it. Cleaning dirt and debris off the floor frequently will limit abrasion that can wear down the coating. Depending on the area, a light cleaning once a week will be enough to protect your floor coating. Businesses, workshops, or pool decks will need to be cleaned daily. Deep cleaning should be done at least once a month.
-
Can A Floor Coating Be Applied To Wood?
Yes. However, since wood is more porous, the coating may not last as long as if it were applied to concrete. The wood surface should be properly prepared, cleaned, and primed before application to achieve the most optimal results.
