Thinking about upgrading your garage, basement, or commercial flooring this summer? Concrete floor coatings are one of the most cost-effective and long-lasting ways to improve the durability, safety, and style of your floors.
At Royal Concrete Coatings, we help homeowners and businesses across Southeast Michigan transform dull, cracked concrete into strong, polished surfaces built to last. Whether you’re planning a home project or upgrading a commercial space, here’s everything you need to know about concrete coatings, from benefits and options to the installation process.
Why Consider Concrete Floor Coatings?
Raw concrete might seem tough, but it’s porous and prone to damage from moisture, chemicals, and daily wear. Floor coatings act as a protective shield, giving you peace of mind and a polished finish. Here’s what makes them a smart investment:
- Long-Lasting Durability: Our coatings are designed to handle Michigan’s harsh weather, vehicle traffic, spills, and heavy equipment. Polyurea, in particular, is 4x stronger than traditional epoxy, ideal for garages and industrial floors.
- Enhanced Safety: We offer textured, slip-resistant finishes that improve traction in both residential and commercial settings, helping reduce the risk of slips and falls.
- Quick Turnaround: With our one-day installation system, you can start using your upgraded space in just 24 hours—no long waiting periods or messy construction.
- Stylish Appearance: Choose from a wide variety of flake colors and decorative patterns, including popular blends like Shoreline and Tidal Wave, to match your home or business aesthetic.
- Low Maintenance: Our non-porous coatings resist stains and spills, making cleaning as easy as a quick mop or sweep.
Epoxy vs. Polyurea: What’s the Difference?
We offer two premium coating systems, each with its advantages. Here’s a simple comparison to help you choose the right option:
Epoxy Floor Coatings
- Budget-friendly solution
- Smooth, clean finish
- Best for indoor spaces like basements or workshops
- Requires longer curing time
- Less effective in outdoor or cold-weather settings
Polyurea Floor Coatings
- Cures in just 1 day
- UV-stable, won’t yellow or fade in sunlight
- Excellent for garages, patios, and commercial properties
- Withstands heat, cold, chemicals, and heavy use
- Backed by our 15-year residential warranty
Where Can You Use Concrete Coatings?
Concrete floor coatings are incredibly versatile and suitable for many residential and commercial areas, including:
- Residential: Garages, basements, patios, driveways, and pool decks
- Commercial: Warehouses, showrooms, kitchens, and retail spaces
- Industrial: Manufacturing plants, labs, and high-demand work environments
We proudly serve clients across Southeast Michigan, including Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, and Livingston counties.
Our One-Day Installation Process
At Royal Concrete Coatings, our certified team follows a proven system to ensure lasting results and a flawless finish. Here’s how it works:
- Preparation: We mechanically grind the surface to open the pores and create a strong bond for the coating.
- Repair: Cracks, pits, and imperfections are filled to ensure a smooth foundation.
- Base Coat Application: Depending on your choice, we apply either epoxy or polyurea to form the coating base.
- Decorative Flake Broadcast: We add decorative flakes evenly across the floor for texture, style, and slip resistance.
- Top Coat Seal: A UV-stable clear coat locks everything in, adding gloss, durability, and protection.
Your coated floor will be ready to use within 24 hours, whether you’re parking a car or welcoming customers.
