You may be looking for a different color to paint your old floor, you may be looking to protect your old floor from fading and wear, or you may want to give your old floor a fresh appearance. If so, a floor coating is a good option for you.
How does a floor coating work?
A floor coating is an economical and quicker alternative to a cast floor. Floor coating differs from a cast floor in that it consists of two layers, in contrast with a cast floor which is made up of several layers. The old floor can be given a new and sleek look in no time with a floor coating; in addition to preventing wear, moisture and harmful liquids from getting into the existing floor surface.
using a floor coating?
Since a floor coating can take less heavy loads than a cast floor, its lifespan is less than a cast floor. There is a good chance that irregularities from the existing floor will still appear on this floor because it consists of one layer. On the other hand, a cast floor does not have irregularities that are visible. A coated floor is unable to meet the requirements of hygiene and safety standards like a cast floor would, unless it has been impregnated extra or coated with a non-slip layer. In areas where there is less wear and tear, floor coatings are ideal. It is well suited for garages, basements, and other storage areas with little traffic. Additionally, it can also be used outdoors, such as on the terrace, as an example. An ideal floor coating would be applied to an existing solid surface, such as concrete or cement, as these surfaces are generally smooth and you want to avoid any unevenness in the coat.
