Urethane Concrete Coatings

Key Features of Urethane Concrete Coatings

Chances are, you don’t give much thought to your concrete floors on an average day. However, they play a key role in your business’s daily operations. Without a smooth, high-quality surface, you risk trips, falls, accidents, and the hassle of maintenance interrupting your day.

Our urethane concrete coatings are designed to protect concrete floors in commercial settings, ensuring they can stand up to daily wear and tear. These high-performance coatings take advantage of polymer urethane resin technology to elevate both the functionality and aesthetics of concrete floors. 

Key features and advantages include:

• Exceptional durability: With this specialized coating, your floors will be able to resist abrasions, impacts, and heavy machinery traffic. 
• Thermal shock resistance: These coatings are ideal for spaces like commercial kitchens or cold storage areas that experience rapid temperature changes.
• Chemical resistance: Because urethane coatings can withstand exposure to harsh chemicals, they’re perfect for use in industrial applications and laboratories.
• Moisture tolerance: Urethane’s unique ability to resist moisture vapor means it inhibits bacterial growth.
• Hygienic and seamless finish: By preventing dirt, grime, and bacteria from infiltrating cracks and pores in the concrete, these coatings can help your business meet sanitation requirements. 
• Long-term cost savings: Enhanced durability means a reduced need for concrete repairs and replacements. 
• Enhanced safety: Thermal stress resistance and anti-slip additives reduce hazards. 
• Ease of cleaning: Since the coating’s surface is non-porous, cleaning and maintenance are much simpler and easier.
• Customizable aesthetics: With a wide range of finishes and colors, you can customize your urethane coating to suit your brand identity or interior design style.

Comparing Urethane and Epoxy Concrete Coatings

At Brush Brothers Coatings, we offer many types of concrete floor coatings. Two of the most popular options are urethane and epoxy. But what’s the difference?

While the two coatings are undoubtedly similar, there are a few key differences that set them apart. For example, urethane concrete coatings are typically more flexible, which reduces the risk of cracking under pressure. They’re also better suited to extreme temperatures than epoxy. Furthermore, urethane coatings are less likely to turn yellow with UV exposure, making them the better choice for outdoor or sunlit areas.

These advantages mean that urethane coatings are usually best for high-moisture or high-impact environments. If you’re not sure which type of concrete coating is right for your space, our expert technicians can help you make this important decision.
