Benefits of Polished Concrete Floors for Homes and Businesses

December 31, 2018 By Hardrock Coatingz

epoxy garage floor coatings for homes and showrooms

If the time has come for you to install a new floor in your home or business it is highly recommended that you choose polished concrete. In the past concrete floors were cold and uninviting but today they can be polished and stained with beautiful designs. These floors are an excellent way to brighten up any room that they are installed in and they come with several good benefits.

The first is that they are very long lasting. Concrete has been used for construction for centuries because it is one of the hardiest building materials. By installing this kind of flooring you are guaranteed that you will not need a new floor for a long time.

You can have your new polished concrete floor in any color and design that you want. In fact, you don’t even need to have the same designs and colors in all rooms – you can have different designs and colors to match the themes of different rooms. In other words polished concrete gives you the opportunity to customize your floors to whatever designs you may desire.

The other benefit of concrete polishing is that it is easy to clean. All you need to do whenever your floor gets dirty is wipe it down with some and a little detergent – it doesn’t require special treatment such as polishing, which you have to do often with wooden floors.

Polished concrete is also a great way to get rid of dust and other contaminants in your home. There will no longer be the need for carpets and rugs to make your floor look attractive – the designs on the floor are enough by themselves. Anyone with allergies in the home will benefit greatly from having a concrete floor installed.

In a nutshell, polished concrete is a great choice for a new floor, be it in your home or in your business.

Why You Should Consider Installing Seamless Epoxy Floors

July 5, 2016 By Hardrock Coatingz

seamless epoxy and urethane flooring

When choosing a new floor it is important to take all factors into account. The first thing that you should take into account is durability flooring is expensive and you dont want to pay for it every few years. In addition to that the floor that you install should allow any room to be used for many purposes especially in a commercial or institutional setting. One floor that meets these requirements is a seamless epoxy floor. Epoxy resin is a tough material that is used in floors to make them look better and last longer. A seamless floor means that there are no joints in the floor s you would get with tiling and other kinds of flooring everything is poured on in one smooth layer.

The first and most important advantage of seamless epoxy floors is that they are easy to clean. When a floor has seams it is harder to keep clean because dirt and other debris get caught in them. If you want to get the floor completely clean you have to get into the seams one at a time and remove the debris. This takes a long time and is not practical on a day to day basis. A seamless floor is great because all you need is to pass a mop over it there is no debris caught anywhere.

Another advantage of seamless epoxy floors is that they are environmentally friendly you get the same kind of finish as you would if you were to wax your floors but without affecting the environment. Epoxy floors are also great because they are non-slip in a hospital or a school or even an office this is a huge benefit.

Epoxy floors, seamless or not, are some of the longest lasting in the world. You can be sure that by installing seamless epoxy floors you will be saving yourself money in the future.

Why Many Property Owners Choose Epoxy Garage Floor Coatings

July 5, 2016 By Hardrock Coatingz

If you are reading this it is quite likely that you are in the market for a new garage floor and are wondering which floor coating would be best. With so many options in the market it can be quite hard to come to a decision. The good news is that epoxy garage floors are some of the best that you can ever find. Many garage owners choose them because they come with several advantages.

The first is that these floor coatings are long lasting. Once you install one you can expect it to last for years before you need to replace it. They are resistant to common floor damage such as scratches, cracks and more. The other reason why so many people choose to install this garage floor coating is the fact that it comes in a wide variety of colors – you can customize your garage to look like anything that you want. You will also find it in different finishes, which adds to how many different things you can do with it.

Epoxy garage floors are also easy to clean. Most garage floors end up being messy because of oil spills and grease stains but if this happens to an epoxy garage floor you don’t have to worry. You can clean it with hot water and strong scrubbing will not affect its surface. In fact, it is for this very reason that so many restaurant owners go with epoxy floors – they are easy to clean.

If you want to make your epoxy garage floor safe you can add anti-slip additives. These are clear in color and will not affect the way your garage floor looks – the anti-clip granules are locked in there and look more or less like sandpaper.

As you can see, there is no reason why you should be looking for any other floors when epoxy garage floors come with so many advantages.

Why You Should Consider Installing Seamless Epoxy Floors

June 19, 2016 By Hardrock Coatingz

seamless epoxy and urethane flooring

There are many kinds of floor coatings in the market today and as someone who is refurbishing their home you may be wondering which one is best to go with. One of the most highly recommended is seamless epoxy floors. To understand why, let us talk about what epoxy floor coatings are and then what it means for them to be seamless. An epoxy floor coating is a tough, durable coating that is applied on the floor in two layers. It comes in all kinds of colors and you can mix it with other ingredients so as to add texture to your floors.

When we talk about seamless flooring we are talking about flooring that doesnt require grouting it is applied on the floor in two continuous layers that have no breaks in them. These kinds of floors come with several advantages. First, there is no grout maintenance as you may well know grout needs to be cleaned and replaced every so often. The other advantage is that if there are contaminants in the home the floor will not be affected much since there is no way for the contaminants to get in. The last advantage of having seamless flooring is that you have a whole host of designs to choose from your home will definitely look different because not many homes have this kind of flooring. You can play with all sorts of styles to suit your dcor.

How about urethane flooring, you may be wondering? This is another kind of flooring that is becoming more and more popular but not for use in homes. Mostly, it is used in environments where there are a lot of stains and where temperatures can get very high. It is a great kind of flooring just like epoxy but it has one major disadvantage it doesnt bond very well to concrete which is why it isnt used much in homes.

If you are reading this post, it is quite likely that it is time to refurbish your garage and you are wondering what kind of flooring it should have. Many homeowners choose to paint their garage floors because it seems like the easy way out. Although it may be a simple painting procedure, it may not necessarily be the best choice.

Epoxy floor coatings offer better features that you simply don’t get with a bucket of paint.

Most importantly, epoxies provide additional durability for garage floors. The last thing you want to do is have to repaint your garage floor every few years. Epoxy offers a tough floor coating that won’t chip or crack when tools or bicycles fall and hit the floor. Epoxy coatings hold up to tough conditions found in a garage environment.

Another benefit: beauty. Garage floors tend to be on the dull side as far as appearance goes. One way to liven things up is to choose epoxy garage floor coatings. They come in many different colors and finishes, which means that you can choose whatever you feel will best brighten things up in your garage. Different tints, shades and dyes available today provide you a whole palette of colors to select from, and add to that smooth or texture, and your options are countless.

If you are looking to reduce your carbon footprint, epoxy garage floors provide an eco-friendly means to sustainable living. Many paints are not so environmentally-conscious so using specialty epoxies provides a means to improve your garage and stay friendly to the environment at the same time. Application is also easy and quick. The flooring dries rather fast because typically only 2 layers are needed, which means the turnaround time for a new garage floor is pretty quick!
