Lets Explore Coatings Over Cement

Almost all cement floors require some sort of coating to protect the substrate, especially if they are used in commercial locations. Commercial locations may need to utilize machinery that may damage the cement, or may have so much traffic over them that coatings over cement are highly indicated.

Regardless what coatings over cement you wish to use, by coating the cement you will be adding value to the site by creating a brighter, much more attractive, highly efficient and very well protected flooring so that you will appreciably maximize its cost efficiency. However, the coating that you choose will make a huge difference in how long it takes to set or cure, whether it is VOC compliant, how long it lasts, and of course what it will ultimately look like.

Some like the look and low cost of PVC or rubber flooring, however they cannot have looked over the look of Silikal coatings over cement! Silikal Reactive Resin flooring can be put down to harden or cure in less than one hour to give you a truly fine-looking floor. In addition it is totally non-porous flooring, so that no penetration of bacteria will occur, as it is completely pinhole free!

Frequently other coatings over cement provide a good-looking floor, but then it is incredibly slippery, and falls frequently occur on it. Silikal on the other hand brings you a safe slip resistant surface, a true monolithic flooring surface. Silikal also offers a floor that can withstand mechanical abrasion forklifts and even various chemical attacks. It can do this in ways that other coatings simply wish they could.
