Durable resin floor coatings are a popular choice for garages, basements and commercial spaces due to their durability, resistance to oil, grease and other chemicals. They also offer a clean, modern look and can be customized with color blends to meet your style preferences.

However, not all floor resin coatings are created equal and the type of coating you choose should depend on the specific needs of your space. For instance, if you need a durable, hard wearing, protective coloured coating that meets stringent health and safety requirements you should opt for a high-grade epoxy resin like ArmorGarage. This coating system has a superior abrasive loss rating and can be used with silica sand to create an industrial grade surface that offers excellent resistance to vehicle and foot traffic.

Built to Last: The Strengths of Durable Resin Floor Coatings

Other durable flooring systems include polyurethane and silane (hydrophobic) coatings. These coatings seal the concrete to form a hydrophobic barrier that repels water. They are quick to install and cure – meaning your floor will be ready for use within a weekend. However, they do not add a decorative finish and therefore do not protect the surface of your concrete from impact damage.

If you are looking for an even faster curing option then a fast-drying, water-based polyaspartic aliphatic resin is the answer. This product does not contain volatile organic compounds and dries in a fraction of the time that traditional epoxy products do. This allows your floor to be installed and cured in just one weekend and is ideal for those who need their flooring to be operational as soon as possible.
