Why Coat
Concrete Surfaces?
Concrete is porous despite its solid look. That makes it particularly susceptible to cracking, chipping or flaking (spalling) during freeze-thaw cycles and ground shift. Occasionally, damage starts with a poor new project set up. At other times, simple wear and tear of use over time does enough damage to ruin a floor.
While paint and other floor coatings last a comparatively short time, ArmorThane floor coatings will retain benefits for years. Besides the attractive look of a coated concrete floor, here are just some of the benefits for permanent surface protection:
- No chipping or peeling
- Resistance to cracking, spalling and rebar rusting
- Flexible without cracking under heavy weight or weathering
- Impact, scratch and abrasion resistance to heavy foot or vehicle traffic
- No softening in heat or becoming brittle in cold
- Easier to clean
- No oil and dirt staining
- No discoloring when exposed to chemicals
- Waterproofing to seal joints and cracks
- Ability to add color chips or UV stable abrasives for a professional, more attractive appearance
- Slip and skid resistance
- Excellent color and gloss retention, no fading
