Purposes and Benefits of Residential Coating

Protection

Safety

• Slip resistance: Non-slip coatings reduce the risk of slips and falls, especially in wet areas like pool decks and kitchens. 
• Easy Maintenance: Coated surfaces are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the accumulation of dirt and stains.

Aesthetic Appeal

Types of Residential Coatings

Epoxy Coatings

• Variety: Available in numerous colors and finishes, including metallic and flake options for a decorative touch.

Polyurethane Coatings

• Flexibility: Better suited for areas with temperature fluctuations like outdoor patios.
• UV resistance: Does not yellow or degrade under sunlight, perfect for outdoor spaces.

Polyaspartic Coatings

• Quick curing: Dries rapidly, reducing downtime, which is beneficial for busy households.

Acrylic Coatings

Preparation and Application Process

Surface Preparation

• Cleaning: The surface must be thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, grease, and any contaminants. 
• Grinding or etching: These techniques are commonly employed to create a rough surface profile to ensure optimal adhesion and overall coating performance.
• Repairing: Any damages or cracks should be repaired before proceeding to create a smooth, even surface.

Priming

• Primer application: A primer layer is used to increase the coating's adherence to the substrate.

Coating Application

• Mixing: The coating components are combined according to the manufacturer's specifications.
• Application: The coating is applied via rollers, brushes, or sprayers, depending on the kind and size of the surface.
• Curing: Give the coating plenty of time to cure before using the area. Some coatings require numerous layers, with each layer curing before the next is applied.

Finishing

• Inspection: The coated floor is checked for uniformity, coverage, and faults.
• Topcoat: A topcoat can be applied for extra protection and a desired finish.
