The Advantages of Concrete Paint

Concrete is renowned for its durability, affordability, and low maintenance. It does have its drawbacks, though. It is susceptible to cracks that can be difficult to repair and its color is bleak. Fortunately, Artistic Concrete Designs and other concrete professionals have a solution for these. Concrete paint or coatings can offer some benefits that make concrete compete with the likes of marble and stone for most attractive flooring options. In this article, we will go over the advantages of concrete coating and epoxy. If you have any questions or if you would like to schedule a consultation or appointment with a qualified concrete contractors in Atlanta, then call Artistic Concrete Designs today. We are always happy to help upgrade your concrete flooring.

DURABILITY

Concrete is already durable as it is, lasting for up to a century when professionally installed and maintained. As we mentioned earlier, though, concrete is prone to cracking and damage that can be difficult to repair. Epoxy coating adds an extra layer of durability with protection against impact, the elements, chemicals, and more. Professionally installed epoxy can withstand up to 20,000 PSI, making it an excellent option for garages and sites that are exposed to heavy equipment. You won’t have to worry much about tracked in snow, salt, spills, or other debris as epoxy closes up the pores of concrete.

The Color Options Are Endless

Marble is one of the most luxurious flooring options due to its naturally stunning shine and variation in colors and patterns. However, epoxy has been giving marble a run for its money because epoxy flooring gives a marble-like shine with an endless number of color and design options. Artistic Concrete Design’s selection of over 100 color options can be mixed to form special shapes and replicate some of nature’s most awe-inspiring phenomenon such as clouds, waves, and even flowing lava. You can even combine our color options with our stamped concrete to replicate wood, stone, and other patterned flooring types.

ANTI-SLIP QUALITIES

If you have a patio or pool deck, then you know how slippery they can be when wet. Epoxy coating offers protection against that too. Keep your kids, guests, and yourself safe with its anti-slip qualities.

REMARKABLE REFLECTIVITY

Lighting and electricity costs are major factors in places such as garages and warehouses. Lighting is also a crucial part of presentation and creating a warm and inviting environment. Regular concrete can absorb light and its bleak color can add to the darkness. Epoxy coating offers more than aesthetics and durability. Its reflectivity can brighten your area by a couple of degrees and liven up your employees, guests, and clients while saving on lighting costs.
