Concrete Floor Coatings From CoverTec Products

Contractors and consumers choose our concrete coatings, sealers and cleaners because they provide professional-grade results at a lower cost than competing store-bought brands. Here are some typical questions customers ask us before buying.


Are Concrete Floors Naturally Slippery When Wet?

Concrete floors can be slippery when wet. It really depends on the profile of the concrete. If it’s very smooth – like a polished concrete for example – it can be slippery if water gets onto it, or if oils are spilled on it, it can be very slippery. If you have a textured profile – like a broom finish for example – it will be less slippery when wet.

CoverTec provides coatings that can increase the slip-resistance of a concrete floor. We have topical coatings, surface treatments and other products that can go on a very smooth concrete floor, and not change the performance, but provide very high traction.

If the floor is naturally slippery – whether wet or dry – CoverTec has products for BOTH interior and exterior concrete surfaces.


What Is A Concrete Floor Coating?

The main function of a concrete coating is to seal the surface, protect it and extend the life of the floor. We also use them for safety reasons, such as increasing slip-resistance, and to beautify the building or the facility.

At CoverTec, we focus heavily on safety, protection and maintenance of floor surfaces. The core rationale for us creating industry-leading coatings is to make a customer’s floor easier to clean, easier to maintain and also much safer.

Our products can beautify as well. More specifically, we can pigment the floor coating, and improve the sheen of the surface. But to reiterate our mission, our main focus is improving the easy maintenance and safety of concrete floors.


What Are The Benefits Of Applying A Concrete Coating?

The biggest benefit of using a concrete coating is providing protection for the floor. Concrete is inherently porous. This means that moisture can get into the concrete and result in stains. Exposure to chemicals can also produce the same unwanted result. Aside from this, concrete can also be worn down.
A high quality concrete floor coating will produce a protective seal that:

Keeps moisture from absorbing into the surface
Prevents chemicals from penetrating the floor, and
Makes the surface more wear-resistant.

On top of these benefits, you also get a beautification of the area treated.


Do Concrete Floor Coatings Come In Different Colors Or Finishes?

Concrete coatings can come in different colors and different finishes. It can make the surroundings brighter, more colorful, or more reflective.

You can select solid colors. You can mix flakes with colors to provide a different look to the concrete. You can stain the concrete and then seal over it with clear coats.

At CoverTec, we’ll factory pigment epoxy coatings and our urethanes. We also supply color packs that you can mix at the point of application.


Are Concrete Floors Expensive To Maintain If They Haven’t Been Coated?

Concrete floors can be very expensive to maintain if they’re not coated. Concrete itself is inherently porous, so it can be easily stained. It can also be worn down and damaged.

Putting a protective layer on the surface cuts down the likelihood of any of these problems occurring. It also makes cleaning and maintaining the surface cheaper and easier.

If the concrete is stained, you’ll need to use expensive equipment and chemicals to keep it clean. You may need to grind down the surface to remove those stains.

This process is very disruptive, and keeps people out of work, commercial or retail areas, and shuts down industrial work areas as well. It’s extremely difficult to avoid these problems without a seal or coating to keep those chemicals out of the concrete floor.
CoverTec offers clear sealers, as well as solid colors.

Our coatings:

Maintain surface appearance longer
Cut the costs of cleaning it
Reduce potential damage
Increase floor slip-resistance
Extend the life of the floor.

Customers notice the benefits above in the short term – and long term.
