While concrete can last virtually forever, there is no guarantee that the surface of the material will remain visually appealing. If you own a piece of property whose floors are subjected to heavy traffic, then you know firsthand the damage from wear-and-tear concrete can suffer. If youve been to an older parking garage, youve seen the faded arrows on the discolored floors guiding you through the structure. Concrete, while durable and strong, is not immune to aesthetic surface damage that comes from heavy traffic without proper protective measures.

The best way to protect your concrete floors in high-traffic places, especially if there is already pre-existing damage, is to use epoxy floor systems. An epoxy system is an easy and effective way of creating an attractive, easy-to-maintain surface for your concrete floors, especially in warehouses, industrial or commercial buildings, retailers, airplane hangars, and other large, heavily trafficked places.

The system itself consists of a primer coat, and a topcoat on top of the concrete substrate. The primer is typically an epoxy, while the topcoat tends to be a urethane sealer. The process, while important to proactively protecting your concrete floors, is also a great option for restoring and repairing prior damage marring the surfaces. If you want to brighten your concrete, you can use an epoxy floor system to restore color to your floors.

An epoxy floor system is a great option for repairing, protecting, and preserving your heavily trafficked concrete floors. The system consists of a basecoat Epoxy 325, and a topcoat Urethane 645. All of these materials will combine to create a surface that is both visually appealing and functional, ensuring your floor remains protected.
