After Process Of A Polyaspartic (Epoxy) Coating Installation

We at Solid Custom Floor Coatings suggest waiting for about 4-6 hours after your polyaspartic coating has been laid to walk on the floor. Wait at least 12 hours post installation to move any medium-weight fixtures onto the floor; things such as boxes or furniture. You should wait 24 hours after the coating has been laid before moving any heavy objects onto the area, including cars.

Caring For Your Polyaspartic (Epoxy) Flooring

Once your flooring has set, it will be impenetrable and extremely durable. However, it is still important to care for the floor coating to ensure that it lasts as long as possible. Make sure to remove any dirt or debris that collects on your flooring using a soft brush or broom. Removing sand, dirt, and other litter will help limit the potential abrasion on the floor.

Use Proper Cleaning Agents

After installing a polyaspartic coating, it is vital to use the right cleaning agents to clean it. We discourage using household cleaners and detergents on polyaspartic (epoxy) flooring because it can leave a residue that attracts dirt. We also recommend avoiding citrus-based cleaners and agents that are corrosive. Instead, we suggest using a softer solution of water and a PH neutral cleaner such as Simple Green.

Polyaspartic coatings are one of the most commonly used types of floor coatings on today’s market. They are extremely durable, are UV resistant, and are often used on garage floors. They can last for years and years and are beautiful to look at. But when were polyaspartic coatings invented? 

The early 1990’s introduced the first polyaspartic coatings. They were created by Bayer Material Science, which is one of the world’s most successful chemical companies. Polyaspartic coatings were originally invented as a protective steel coating for bridges, intended to protect the metal on the bridges from wearing away. Polyaspartic coatings are now used as protective coatings for all sorts of applications, including floors and concrete.

Porch And Patio Coatings

Patios are a special part of any property. It is a place where families gather in the summer to have parties and where homeowners can sit outdoors and remember that life is good. Patios also give homeowners more property value. Such an important part of your home needs to be protected and properly cared for. Because patios are outside, they are more likely to get damaged. Installing porch and patio coatings can help keep your porch and patio floors in better condition for a much longer time.

Reasons You Need A Protective Patio Coating

As previously mentioned, there are all sorts of gatherings that occur outdoors on patios and porches. This means that there is a lot of traffic that travels over your patio and porch. Without a protective coating, your patio and porch will wear down quicker. Not to mention, because porches and patios are outside, they also are at the will of nature. UV rays, animal droppings, and plant debris all contribute to daily wear and tear of your patio and porch. 

A protective coating can limit the damage that occurs to your porch and patio. Floor coatings prevent your patio from fading or from other types of sun damage. Coatings also protect your patio and porch from the elements including rain, snow, sleet and ice. It also becomes difficult to scratch your porch when you have a protective coating, which is important for outdoor areas due to sticks and other common debris being able to easily fall on your property.
