If you’re looking to protect and spruce up the concrete in your home or place of business, you have a few options: Epoxy coatings and polyurea coatings. Both offer unique benefits, but it’s important to understand which option is right for you.

Epoxy floor coatings are a two-part system consisting of an epoxy resin and a hardener. Once applied, they create a thick coating that’s nearly impervious to scratches, staining, and chemicals. They are great for heavy-duty areas such as garages, workshops, warehouses, and commercial spaces that experience high levels of foot traffic.

Polyurea coatings are also two-part systems consisting of a polyurea resin and a catalyst for curing. Once the coating is applied, it hardens within minutes into a thick, durable surface that’s also resistant to scratches, staining, and chemicals. Polyurea coatings are great for areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, basements and pool decks where an attractive finish is desired in addition to durability.

Polyurea floor coating adheres to the substrate and expands to strengthen vulnerable spots. When compared to epoxy flooring, polyurea floor coating offers:

• More flexible. flooring material
• UV stable, so it doesn’t fade
• Scratch resistant
• Slip-resistant
• Designed to endure the most unforgiving conditions

Acrylic coatings are one-component systems that dry to a tough and resilient finish. They are easy to apply and provide excellent protection against scratches, staining, and chemicals. Acrylic coatings are great for residential spaces such as living rooms, bedrooms, patios and porches that need a waterproof coating that still looks attractive.
