Basement floor coatings
THE BEST PROTECTIVE COATINGS FOR BASEMENT FLOORS
For homeowners, home maintenance is important for not only keeping the home safe and clean, but also to protect their investment and prevent larger and more costly problems down the line. By virtue of their location underground and common function as storage or entertainment spaces, basements are especially susceptible to weathering and abrasion, and are at a heightened risk of dangerous water infiltration. Protecting basement floors with polyurea basement floor coatings is an easy, reliable, and cost-effective way to protect basement floors from even the worst spills and accidents, whether it be a few buckets of paint, or oceans of water after a natural disaster.
BASEMENT WATER SEEPAGE
While storage mishaps and constant wear and tear can risk a basement floor’s long-term health and functionality, the most common, and unfortunately, most costly risk to basement floors is basement water seepage. Groundwater can penetrate cracks in already porous concrete walls and foundations, which opens a home to mold and mildew. In either case, this can mean dangerous or even life-threatening health and safety risks for any occupants, especially for those with pre-existing respiratory conditions or a heightened sensitivity to airborne contaminants. Polyurea basement floor coatings are waterproof and watertight, insulating floors from any potential water damage, and preventing buildup of those nasty fungi.
ARMORFLOOR: THE MOST ADVANCED FLOOR SOLUTION
Basement floors can go through a lot of abuse over the years, from moving abrasive heavy objects to suffering the consequences of acute or prolonged water intrusion. One of the best ways to prevent basement floors from damage and deterioration is with our specialty polyurea flooring solution: ArmorFloor. ArmorFloor is our best polyurea basement floor coating, engineered specifically to address the challenges faced by basement floors and other high-traffic or at-risk ground surfaces.

FAQ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Concrete’s porous structure makes it vulnerable to water and other liquids, which can find cracks in the concrete and cause it to expand further. This expansion can cause structural damage, and the presence of water can lead to further complications like mold or mildew, which can pose serious health and safety risks to any occupants of the home..
Polyurea basement floor coatings are extremely durable, boasting a high chemical resistance and an equally powerful resilience against physical impacts and abrasion. With proper application and maintenance, polyurea basement floor coatings can last for up to several decades, even in the most demanding environments.
Basement floor coatings provide both functional and aesthetic benefits to a home. It can be used in place of traditional paints to provide a unique appearance with customizable colors and finishes, or be used solely as a means to protect a home from damage or degradation.
