Commercial Concrete Coatings
We install commercially throughout CA
Concrete coatings are also commonly used in commercial environments such as warehouses, factories, and retail spaces. In fact, the benefits of concrete coatings can be even more pronounced in these settings, where floors are subject to heavy traffic, spills, and other types of wear and tear.
A number of considerations for using concrete coatings in a commercial environment include :
- Durability: Commercial spaces often require coatings that are even more durable than those used in residential settings. This may require choosing a coating with a higher abrasion resistance rating, Thicker in size for the body of the application, or using multiple coats for added durability.
- Slip resistance: In a commercial environment, safety is a top priority. Coatings should include anti-slip additives and be tested to ensure they meet safety standards.
- Chemical resistance: Depending on the type of business, commercial spaces may be subject to exposure to chemicals, oils, and other substances that can damage floors. Choosing a coating that is resistant to these substances is important for maintaining the longevity of the floor.
- Appearance: In a commercial setting, the appearance of the floor can be important for creating a professional, clean, and inviting atmosphere. Choosing a coating that offers a range of colors and styles can help you create the look you want.
- Installation: In a commercial setting, it may be more practical to hire a professional to install the coating. This can help ensure the coating is applied properly and to the correct specifications.
- Maintenance: In a commercial setting, regular maintenance is essential to ensure the floor continues to look and function its best. This may require regular cleaning and occasional touch-ups or resealing.
- Coving: Often, commercial applications require an integral cove base. This is generally a 4″-6″ application to the wall of resinous material that contains media. At the base there is a radius, the larger the radius (i.e. 1/4″, 3/4″, 1″) the easier it will be to clean and maintain, however, making a larger radius, can come with larger cost.( Tip: Make sure the contractor has previous experience with coving, as it’s not a simple task).
Overall, concrete coatings can be a great option for commercial environments looking to improve the durability, safety, and appearance of their floors. By choosing the right coating and considering the specific needs of the business, you can create a space that is both functional and inviting.
