When a property owner in New London, NC began planning the flooring for a newly constructed barn, they initially considered an epoxy floor coating. However, after realizing that a traditional epoxy system was outside their budget, they began looking for a more economical solution that would still provide the protection and durability needed for a heavily used barn.

That's where United Floor Coatings came in.


Finding the Right Flooring Solution

With cars, farm equipment, and heavy everyday use expected in the space, the floor needed to be more than just attractive. It needed to withstand the demands of an active barn while remaining easy to maintain.


After discussing the property's needs and budget, the experts at United Floor Coatings recommended polished and sealed concrete as an alternative to epoxy.


This approach provided the durability the property owner was looking for while offering a more budget-friendly option.

Polished Concrete for a High-Use Barn

Polished concrete is an excellent choice for spaces that need a durable, low-maintenance flooring solution. By mechanically polishing the concrete surface, we can create a smooth, clean finish while strengthening the surface of the slab.


For this barn, the polished concrete provided a practical foundation capable of handling vehicles, farm equipment, foot traffic, and the general wear that comes with a working agricultural space.


Unlike traditional flooring materials, polished concrete doesn't require a separate flooring material to be installed over the slab. The existing concrete becomes the finished floor.

Sealed With a Ceramic-Nanosealer

To provide additional protection, the polished concrete was finished with a new-generation ceramic-nanosealer.

This advanced sealer helps strengthen the concrete while creating a long-lasting, impermeable protective surface. It provides additional resistance against moisture, staining, and everyday wear—making it particularly well suited for a barn environment.

The combination of mechanically polished concrete and ceramic-nanosealer gives the property owner a durable floor without the cost of a traditional epoxy system.


A Practical Alternative to Epoxy

While epoxy flooring remains an excellent option for many garages, shops, and commercial spaces, it isn't necessarily the best fit for every project or budget.


This New London barn is a great example of how understanding the intended use of a space can help determine the right flooring system.


The property owner needed protection from cars, farm equipment, and heavy use, but they also needed to stay within a specific budget. Polished and sealed concrete provided the balance of durability, protection, and affordability they were looking for.
