SurGuard Urethane Vs. Epoxy Floor Coating:
While epoxy floor coatings are popular for their initial glossy finish and durability, there are several reasons why they might not be the best choice for long-term use:
1. Susceptibility to Yellowing and Peeling
Epoxy coatings can yellow and peel over time, especially when exposed to direct sunlight and UV rays. This can lead to an unattractive appearance and the need for frequent reapplication. Urethane has UV blockers that protect against colour changes.
2. Long Curing Time
Epoxy coatings require a long curing time before the floor can be used, which can be inconvenient. During this period, the area needs to be kept free of dust and debris, which can be challenging in a home environment.
3. Limited Flexibility
Epoxy is rigid and can crack if the underlying concrete expands or contracts with temperature changes. This lack of flexibility can lead to a need for repairs and maintenance over time. While epoxy is the preferred finish in an enclosed industrial setting with fork lifts running about, the flexibility of a urethane coating makes it the superior choice for concrete porches and steps, walkways, patios and garage floors.
4. Difficult Application Process
The application process for epoxy coatings can be complex and requires careful preparation and skill. Improper application can result in bubbles, uneven coverage, and other defects that affect the finish and durability. While the same is true for Surguard Urethane coating, that is why we have specially trained crews who professionally prepare and apply our proprietary blend.
5. Chemical Sensitivity
Epoxy floors can be sensitive to certain chemicals and cleaners, which can cause damage or degrade the finish. This limits the types of products that can be safely used on the floor.
6. Long-term Costs
While epoxy may have a lower upfront cost, the need for regular maintenance, potential repairs, and eventual reapplication can lead to higher long-term expenses compared to more durable and low-maintenance alternatives like SurGuard Urethane Coating.
Choosing a more advanced solution like SurGuard Urethane Coating can provide better long-term performance, enhanced durability, and a more attractive finish with fewer maintenance concerns.
