What Does a Concrete Floor Coating Do?
Concrete floor coatings are a protective barrier that turns ordinary concrete into a high-performance surface. The specialized treatments penetrate deep into existing concrete and bond with the material, creating a durable shield that protects your floor from damage. A professionally applied coating will protect against chemicals, impacts, moisture, and daily wear and tear.
Beyond protection alone, concrete floor coatings enhance the appearance of the flooring. Some coatings offer additional benefits, such as slip resistance, light reflections, and static dissipation to help further enhance the functionality of the space.
Benefits of Concrete Floor Coatings
Let’s take a close look at the multiple advantages you can realize when choosing professional concrete floor coatings:
- Extended Durability: Properly coated floors can last up to 5-10 times longer than untreated concrete
- Enhanced Safety: Additives can reduce slip risk and improve light reflections for brighter workspaces
- Chemical Resistance: Automotive fluids, cleaning chemicals, and other spills aren’t a threat to treated concrete
- Simplified Maintenance: Sealed surfaces reduce dust accumulation for easier day-to-day cleaning
- Moisture Protection: Eliminates moisture penetration that can lead to mold, mildew, or structural damage.
- Aesthetic Improvement: Turns dull, gray concrete into professional surfaces in a variety of colors and finishes
- Increased Property Value: Well-maintained, attractive flooring enhances property values.
Types of Concrete Floor Coatings
Epoxy Coatings
Epoxy coatings are often considered the gold standard in concrete floor protection. This is especially true for high-traffic environments.
Distinguishing Features:
Highest durability and longevity among coating options
Superior chemical and stain resistance
Available in multiple decorative finish options
This coating is best for workshops, manufacturing floors, commercial kitchens, or anywhere durability and chemical resistance are important.
Polyurethane Coatings
Polyurethane coatings are common in areas that are frequently exposed to direct sunlight. The coating offers excellent UV stability, along with exceptional flexibility.
Distinguishing Features:
- Better resistance to abrasion than epoxy coating
- Excellent UV resistance keeps color integrity in sunlight
- Faster curing time than traditional epoxy systems
Their UV protection makes polyurethane coatings exceptional for exterior applications. They’re also great for areas with extreme temperature changes or those that need maximum abrasion resistance.
Acrylic Coatings
Acrylic coatings are the group’s more economical option. Though typically more affordable, acrylic still allows concrete to breathe, reducing moisture-related issues.
Distinguishing Features:
- Water-based or solvent-based options available
- Quick drying and easy application
- More economical than other coating systems
Acrylic coatings are ideal for areas where maximum protection isn’t needed or for areas where a more subtle aesthetic change is desired.

Bel and his crew were fantastic! They sanded & stained our entire 2-tier deck and painted our carriage-house style, 2 story garage, trim and doors. They were very professional, reasonable, knowledgeable and helpful with paint/stain suggestions. We would recommend them for anyone that has interior or exterior painting needs.
They were amazing. Impeccable detail, insanely quick and lovely to work with. Will definitely use again and recommend to others.
I hired Innovation to do some drywall repairs. The last company I had they messed up all my kitchen and living room walls, was a total disaster. Innovation came two weeks after and fixed everything, leaving my walls that way was supposed to be. Very pleasant and professional workers, they did a exceptional job. I even let them do a makeover on my deck witch looks amazing now. Thank you for all you guys did a my house.
Hello I’m stopping by to share my experience with innovation General Services. I had some work done in my kitchen and Deck, along with some painting as well. Overall I highly recommend this company, they are very professional, fairly priced and on time. I was given an estimate with a time table of how long the job would take to finish. I was given a start date and they arrived on the day as promised and all the work was finished as expected. I was also very happy with the way they alway kept my home clean after each work day. And they also didn’t try to charge me additional fees like some other companies do when the job was done. I can honestly say if I ever need any more work done around my home I’ll be sure to call Innovation. Thank you guys for all your hard work, I’m very happy with the results!
