What Floor Coating Should I Choose?

andrew • June 21, 2021

With so many choices when it comes to the right floor coating, finding the right choice for you can be overwhelming. At United Floor Coatings, we offer a number of options for our customers in the Charlotte and Raleigh NC areas, including versatile polymers like polyurethane and polyaspartic floor coatings. To help you choose the right one for your personal needs, here is a closer look at what these options are.

Polymer Floor Coatings – A Versatile Option

Polymer floor coatings include many sub-categories and offer many benefits to those who install them. Depending on the polymer you choose, you will benefit from:
⦁ Heat resistance on hot surfaces
⦁ Foot traffic resistance
⦁ An Improved Aesthetic
⦁ Bacteria resistance
⦁ Lower Moisture
Polymers are a great starting point for your garage floor needs. United Floor Coatings can help you choose the polymer for your custom needs, so you can enjoy the full benefit of your flooring coating.

Polyaspartic Finish — Hard, Fast-Drying

One of the types of polymer floor coatings to consider is a polyaspartic floor coating. Polyaspartic is one of the hardest finishes the market has to offer, so it will resist impacts well. It dries faster than other polymers, making it one of the fastest to install. It is highly moisture-resistant making it an ideal choice for moisture rich areas.
Polyurethane – Flexible & Impact-Resistant
Polyurethane is another type of polymer that is often used in floor coatings. It is quite flexible, which means it’s very scratch and impact resistant. Its abrasion-resistance is quite high, so it holds up well in high traffic environments. Polyurethane is chemical-resistant, so it can be used in applications where strong chemicals must be used to clean the floor.

Which Floor Coating Is Right for You?

If you are considering floor coating for your home or business, you can find the choices overwhelming. United Floor Coatings is here to help. Our floor coating experts can assist you in weighing your options to choose the right floor coating for your specific needs. Whether you are looking for moisture-resistance, impact-resistance, or overall aesthetics, United Floor Coatings has a product that will fit your needs well.
