A Beginner’s Guide to Decorative Coatings

In recent years, decorative concrete coatings have become a popular option in the flooring industry. Homeowners and business owners alike have found a use for this unique and charming concrete overlay. From garages and basements to auto showrooms, decorative coatings can bring even the dullest rooms to life. At Premier Concrete Coatings, we offer a variety of decorative coating options. Here is a background on what decorative coatings are and some of your options.

What Are Decorative Coatings?

Decorative concrete coatings are a unique solution for those who would like to add color and brightness to their space. Typically made from epoxy, the coatings can typically be applied over any concrete surface. However, they are most commonly used in garages, patios, pool decks, and showrooms. These coatings come in a variety of finishes. With several color choices, patterns, and textures to mix and match, the possibilities are endless.

Types of Decorative Coatings

Decorative coatings can be as simple or flashy as you would like them to be. Here are a few options.

Metallic Marble Epoxy Floor

Metallic marble epoxy floors are a specially formulated epoxy designed to give the same effect as marble. It is a 100% solid, two-component epoxy that has a smooth, glass-like finish. Although the final results may look expensive, metallic marble is actually quite affordable. It is on the cheaper side of decorative coatings. This makes it the perfect choice for anyone looking to add character and elegance to their space without sacrificing the budget.

Solid Color Epoxy

Solid color epoxy is exactly what it sounds like. It is perfect for large spaces such as warehouses, garage floors, and retail stores. While highly durable and affordable, solid color epoxy rarely disappoints. It incorporates a clear or transparent chemical-resistant vapor barrier epoxy primer that offers added durability and color stability. For spaces that need reliable flooring that compliments the environment, solid color epoxy is the way to go.

Epoxy Flake Flooring

One of the most common additions to solid floors is epoxy flake flooring. These flakes add color and dimension to a flat, solid color. These are usually seen on garage floors, recreational rooms, warehouses, locker rooms, and so much more. Epoxy flake floors are an excellent choice if you are searching for flooring that is durable, hides dirt and debris, is easy to clean, and is slip and stain-resistant. With only a 2-3 day installation period, epoxy flake floors are hard to beat.
