Concrete Coating SystemsInfo Garages are subject to wear and tear whether we like it or not. There are chemicals which

are highly corrosive that it would immediately destroy the floor upon contact while water and

moisture would tear down the floor slowly as these things need to accumulate until they will

be substantial to do damage.

In order to prevent deterioration of the garage floor, necessary steps must be realized. One

of the ways to protect against destruction is by coating the floor having a protective agent

known as concrete sealers. These substances have the ability to block the pores in the

concrete so water and other forms of liquid will not be able to pass through the surface. The

layer will actually protect the floor thus extending its life in the process.

coatings which is why one has to reapply once the coating disintegrates.

The second protective coating is called polyurethane sealer. It is twice as thick as the acrylic

thus it does not wear easily like the latter. However, its level of protection would be derived

from the way the coating is prepared and applied and for this justification it is actually

fundamental to read through the instruction properly earlier than coating the actual area.

The third floor sealant is the epoxy. It is the toughest in the group which is why this is the

primary choice of garage owners. But the usual problem of epoxy is that it easily turns yellow

under direct sunlight which is why it is commonly used indoors only. But the best thing about

this is that it provides an elegant and durable finish.

Finally, the penetrating sealer such as the silanes and siloxanes have the ability to penetrate

deeper in the concrete to prevent accumulation of moisture. But like epoxy, it easily turns

yellow when subjected to intense heat. This coating also disintegrate quickly especially with

heavy traffic thus it is usually applied indoors than outdoors.
