A clean, professional work environment is important to the success of any business, large or small. However, an industrial space can be a challenge to keep looking nice over time. One way to make a huge difference is with low-maintenance, durable, beautiful floors.
Epoxy floor coatings can enhance any business space by providing a cleaner, longer lasting, brighter and better looking environment. The GarageCoatings.com Epoxy floor coatings provide a durable finish for concrete floors that will hold up to the harsh conditions that many industrial floors are exposed to on a daily basis. GarageCoatings.com Epoxy has a proprietary “wicking” technology in the Epoxy base coat that gives the floor a hard, resilient surface that won’t lift or peel. Additionally, they are “hot tire resistant” and won’t yellow or leave an imprint, extending the beauty and durability for a lifetime. Additionally, an Epoxy coating makes your garage floor easy to clean and maintain using water and a mild (non-filming) detergent, and requires no special maintenance or waxing.
The Strength of Urethane Floor Coatings
GarageCoatings.com Urethane Epoxy floor coating is the strongest in the business – more than three times stronger than the standard off-the-shelf Epoxy flooring – making is resistant to scratches, scuffs, cracks and other damage.
Since abrasions are an everyday occurrence to garage floors coatings, there is a standardized abrasion resistance test (ASTM D-4060) that compares products. The standard calls for three distinct criteria: abrasion wheels, a weight, and a cycle amount. The abrasion wheels have different types of coarseness ranging from non-resilient wheels to harsh abrasion wheels. This is combined with a set weight applied onto the coating and the coating is allowed to rotate for a certain amount of cycles. For the coatings industry, the standard protocol states a CS-17 wheel, 1000 gram (1kg) load, and 1000 cycles.
