There are a number of benefits to having a Poured Floor installed in either a residential or commercial building. There are a variety of materials that can be used to improve the durability of any floor and give the room more visual appeal. No one likes to stare at and walk on concrete all day and, with enough use, it can begin to crack and show other signs of damage. An epoxy, urethane, or hybrid coating is an inexpensive investment that can improve the property’s value and prolong the lifespan of any floor.
Because it is seamless and created from chemical compounds, a Poured Floor will save time on cleaning. They are simple to maintain, requiring only occasional cleaning with soap and water, and are resistant to moisture. This means that not only will they protect the concrete from water damage, they will also prevent spills of any chemicals, oils, or other unwanted liquids from being absorbed by the concrete. This makes poured floors uniquely sanitary as well. Although the technology behind them is constantly improving, this type of floor coating is already popular in spaces like healthcare facilities and office buildings.
When deciding what kind of floor coating is most suitable, keep in mind the intended use of the space. Most consumers choose epoxy because of its high strength ratings and ability to withstand spills. However, building owners who anticipate elevated moisture levels and higher-than-normal heat may want to consider urethane or hybrid flooring options. These are even more resistant to moisture and changes in temperature than epoxy. Urethane boasts the highest thermal shock resistance among flooring methods.
Hybrid poured flooring can combine the benefits of many of these systems. In addition, it can be applied during the construction process, as it sets very quickly, and can be used on newly installed concrete. Often, this is covered with a light coating of epoxy after installation as well. Owners and managers of offices, commercial stores, and industrial spaces often find the time and hassle-saving benefits of poured floors greatly outweigh the initial installation cost.
