The Benefits Of Spectrum Concrete Floor Coatings

Whether you’re reflooring your garage or simply looking to give your warehouse employees some surer footing, there are two things you can rely on Spectrum Concrete Coatings to provide, regardless of your needs: durability and safety.

Our floor coatings are polyurea. Polyurea flooring has become the standard for innovative residential and commercial floor coating, but prior to that, epoxy was the material of choice.

Comparing the properties of polyurea and epoxy, there are more similarities than differences, which may surprise some since polyurea is widely regarded as the more modern, innovative solution. The quality discrepancy lies in the greater degree of reliable durability you’ll enjoy with a polyurea floor. Polyurea floor systems are less likely to discolor or delaminate because of consistent abrasive contact, sustained pressure or prolonged heat exposure.

Polyurea also cures much quicker than epoxy and grants greater material flexibility, making it the ideal choice for those covering an unconventionally shaped floor. Since polyurea dries so quickly, though, it’s considered more of a tool for professionals than weekend warriors. Most garage floors can be completed in one day (barring any unforeseen issues.) That’s where Spectrum comes in!

How much do Spectrum Concrete Coatings Cost?

All of the advantages outlined above don’t come for free, of course. Indeed, polyurea coatings are more expensive than epoxy coatings overall. That said, it’s important to consider more than the initial price of materials and installation. After all, installing a garage floor coating is a long-term investment. As such, you must keep the long-term costs and benefits in mind, too. When properly installed and maintained, Spectrum’s polyurea floor coatings can endure for 15 years or longer before requiring any minor repairs – compare this with epoxy coatings that often need resurfacing within 2-5 years (our coatings also carry a limited lifetime warranty.) So, while it will cost more to install Spectrum coatings up front compared to traditional epoxy, you’ll end up saving significantly in the long run!
