RESIDENTIAL FLOOR COATING IN COLORADO SPRINGS

Your house is your most valuable investment. Choosing the appropriate flooring materials on various surfaces is critical to preserving its value against mold, damp moisture, oil spills, and yellow stains.

Many homeowners undervalue the importance of their floor. And although it is the last thing you see when you walk into a house, it frequently does not stand out until it does for the worst reasons. For example, it may be ugly and unsafe to walk on and even drag objects if it is not well-kept.

Floor coatings are the paint or sealer that is applied to a floor. These are best handled by professionals who understand which treatment and equipment are needed and, more critically, how to use it following state regulations.

Expertly finished residential floor coatings can withstand even the harshest wear and tear process for ages. Top-quality floor coating provides maximum durability, easy to clean floor surface, and décor-enhancing flair, which will significantly enhance the look and provide a protective finish to any room in the house.

 

TYPES OF RESIDENTIAL FLOOR COATING

There are several types of floor coatings for residential spaces. We have gathered the common ones for which past clients have requested our professional services.

EPOXY FLOOR COATING

Firmness, durability, and shock resistance are all qualities of epoxy coating. In addition, it is cost-effective and long-lasting, even in high foot traffic areas with many dampness and chemicals.

You may expect an epoxy floor to last ten years with proper cleaning and upkeep. Epoxy is also noted for its chemical resistance to bleach, oils, greases, and other substances.

Epoxy floor coating is considered one of the industrial market’s best residential garage floor coatings.

POLYURETHANE FLOOR COATINGS

Polyurethane flooring is visually like epoxy flooring. However, these coatings are softer and more elastic than epoxy coatings. Therefore, polyurethane flooring is more suitable for moderate to heavy pedestrian concrete floors and high traffic areas.

The cure period is another protective value. The following day, the floors coated with this durable finish can be ready for use. On the other hand, the epoxy coating requires seven days to set after installation.

POLYASPARTIC FLOOR COATING

One advantage of polyaspartic is its ability to be used as both a complete flooring system and a topcoat. In other words, polyaspartic flooring may do in a single coat what standard epoxy and polyurethane would generally take two coats to accomplish. It can potentially cut application times and labor and material costs.

Polyaspartic flooring is also versatile. Optimizing drying periods upon installation and pot life with polyaspartic is possible. Some coating formulas can even dry in less than a day.

ACRYLIC FLOOR COATING

These floor coatings fall somewhere in the middle regarding cost and performance. However, acrylic floor coverings are not as long-lasting as epoxy or polyurethane. So, while acrylic floor coatings may be affordable at first, their long-term maintenance costs are often more significant than those of other coatings.

These are best suited for decorative floors, low-traffic areas like basements, and locations where abrasions or chemical spills are unlikely. Although acrylic floor coatings lack the durable character of conventional flooring, they have quick cure periods, drying in as little as an hour after application.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are three types of garage floor coatings: latex, water-based acrylic, and one-part epoxy. Sweeping, power washing with a degreaser, crack cleaning with a stiff brush, bonding glue on broken or missing concrete, and concrete patches are required. So, it all comes down to the convenience of use and durability.

Latex is the most inexpensive and covers the finest. Acrylics are costlier in value but do not provide as much coverage. And the one-part epoxy paint is the most expensive on the market.

The latex and acrylics are the easiest to use. However, thicker epoxy garage floors are more durable and will last years longer than even two or three layers of acrylic or latex paint, making it the best garage floor coating.

Other chemical-resistant garage floor alternatives, in addition to epoxy:

Concrete Stain

This provides a semi-transparent color to your garage floor coating, giving you depth and a personalized image.

Floor Paint

This is one of the cost-effective ways to add color to a concrete surface, like your garage floor or basement.

Polyurea

This is a UV-stable, scratch, and temperature-resistant garage floor coating with quick curing that benefits any surface.

A concrete floor coating has a far longer life expectancy than most decorative flooring materials. Concrete floorings can also protect your surfaces from water leakage into the basement after heavy rains, unlike water-sensitive decorative floorings, which are not resistant to scratches, oil, mold, and moisture. Homeowners save money in the long term since they never have to take out and replace old or water-damaged flooring.
These are the two things that you need to consider before getting your floors coated:

Floor Condition

The first step in determining what to install on your garage floor or basement is to examine its current state. Older, fractured, or oil-stained concrete is a challenge for any paint, stain, or coating. To get them to bond effectively, you need to spend two days or more sweeping, pressure washing, acid etching, and patching before applying a drop of paint. If you are moving into a new house or pouring a new garage floor, wait 30 days before having it professionally painted or coated. And if your concrete floor is in dire straits, rubber matting, plastic tiles, or carpeting may be better.

Weather

The weather is the second most crucial factor. Warm temperatures and low humidity are required for paints, stains, sealants, and varnishes to dry successfully. If it is the wet, rainy season, it is preferable to wait for the sun than to watch your newly applied, multi-coat solution run off the floor.

The basement floor is often cooler than the basement air temperature, and adding carpet drops the temperature even further.

The floor temperature under a carpet may fall below the dew point of the air if the basement humidity is high enough. In this case, a little moisture will pool beneath the carpet, creating ideal circumstances for mold production. Moisture formation may be so subtle that it is not visible from the top of the carpet.

Carpeting or area rugs may work if the basement floor is already insulated or has under-floor heating. However, if you have a basement moisture problem, you must address it before putting any floor covering, particularly carpets.

Excess moisture may be readily tested by attaching a piece of plastic sheeting to the concrete floor and sealing the edges with duct tape. Allow the plastic to sit for 24 hours. If condensation forms behind the plastic, you and your contractor must conduct a mitigation strategy.
