Why Choose Heavy-Duty Coatings?

Workshop floors face constant wear and tear from dropped tools, chemical spills, hot tires, and heavy equipment. Plain concrete can crack, stain, and degrade over time. A premium coating system:

  • Seals and protects against moisture and oil
  • Resists impact, abrasion, and chemicals
  • Creates a non-slip, easy-to-clean surface
  • Enhances the look and value of your space

Frequently Asked Questions

We can install concrete coatings in a number of areas within your home. Some of these areas include garages, basements, patios, and pool decks. Not only  do we install these coatings in homes, but we also provide our services to commercial businesses, which can include dog kennels, factories, and
salon floors.

All flooring is not created equal! Over time, your old floors can become stained, cracked, and overall less pleasing to the eye. Here at Specialty Concrete Coatings, we use high-quality coatings made of epoxy to ensure that your floors look
beautiful for years!

Our concrete-coated floors:
-Can withstand heavy foot traffic
-Are resistant to spills including oil, and chemicals
-Add insulation value
-Protected from staining and fading
-Resistant to slips and falls

The nature of the storm/inclement weather will determine if we can complete the installation on the scheduled date only if the project takes place on an exterior surface. It is more likely we will need to reschedule an installation date to ensure quality, proper installation. Garage floor installations will be
determined on a case by case basis.

The drying and curing time for concrete coatings depends on the type of coating used and environmental conditions. Generally, most coatings are dry to the touch within 4 to 6 hours. Light foot traffic is typically allowed after 24 hours, and full curing—suitable for heavy use like vehicles—usually takes 5 to 7 days. Your installer will provide specific guidance based on the product and conditions at your location.

Epoxy and polyurea are both durable concrete coatings, but they have key differences:

  • Epoxy Coatings:

    • More affordable and widely used.

    • Takes longer to cure (typically 24–72 hours).

    • Less flexible, making it more prone to cracking over time.

    • Works best for indoor areas like garages and basements.

     

    • Cures much faster—within a few hours.

    • Highly flexible and resistant to cracking, peeling, and UV damage.

    • More durable in extreme temperatures and outdoor environments.

    • Typically more expensive but offers long-term performance.

      Polyurea Coatings:

If you’re looking for faster installation and superior durability, polyurea is the better choice. But for budget-friendly indoor applications, epoxy works well.
