Scaling concrete is just one undesirable result of improper material and installation

When it comes to concrete coatings, the impact of weather conditions is a common concern. However, with the right materials and proper application, the cold weather doesn't have to be a hindrance; in fact, withstanding extreme weather conditions, common to Northeast Florida, is a key advantage of high quality material.


Introducing Quality Materials For Concrete Coatings

Polyurea and polyaspartic are advanced coating materials that outshine paint, stain and traditional epoxy in various aspects. Unlike concrete paint or concrete stain, it will not chip, peel or fade. In addition, it outperforms epoxy, which is sensitive to exterior temperature fluctuations, both during installation and during its lifetime. Polurea and polyaspartic coatings offer greater flexibility in cold weather conditions, and it can be applied and maintained in cold weather conditions, without issue.


Installation and Maintenance of High Quality Concrete Coatings

Polyurea and polyaspartic coatings exhibit a fast-curing nature, allowing for quicker installation even in colder temperatures. This feature is a game-changer, as it enables property owners to proceed with coating applications even during winter months when epoxy might struggle to cure properly. Improperly cured epoxy tends to bubble, which creates an uneven and unappealing look, as opposed to its higher quality counterpart.


Furthermore, polyurea and polyaspartic materials maintain their resilience in cold weather, ensuring that the concrete coating remains robust and durable despite challenging environmental conditions. This durability is crucial for long-term protection against the elements, whether it be blaring sunshine or blistering cold days.


A Conundrum: Cleaning Up In The Cold Weather?

Maintenance is another critical aspect to consider when installing or maintaining concrete coatings. Polyurea and polyaspartic concrete coatings make cleaning a breeze, even in colder weather conditions. Their chemical composition resists stains and contaminants, making it easier to keep surfaces looking fresh and well-maintained. While power washing the durable floor material is not necessary, it will not tarnish or fade in color or texture, which is otherwise a concern for concrete paints and stains. Apply water with a mop or rag and your floor will be pristine! 


Quality Matters: Polyurea and Polyaspartic Acid vs. Cheaper Alternatives

It's essential to emphasize the disparities between high-quality materials and their cheaper counterparts, such as exterior paints or stains. While the latter might seem cost-effective initially, they often lack the durability and resilience needed to withstand harsh weather conditions. Considering that Northeast Florida sees drastic temperature changes, it is important to consider the right materials to withstand these exterior conditions. 

Polyurea and polyaspartic concrete coatings stand out as premium options due to their superior performance, ensuring a more extended lifespan for your concrete surfaces. Investing in quality materials upfront can save you from the headaches of frequent repairs and recoating or repainting. 


In conclusion, the cold weather doesn't have to be a stumbling block when it comes to concrete coatings.
