Epoxy Coatings vs. Mechanically Polished Concrete

henry gerstel • March 12, 2019

What Is An Epoxy Coating?

When an epoxy coating  is applied to a concrete floor the revolutionary material binds to the floor surface, which ultimately provides a durable, colorful and valuable substrate.  Epoxy coatings for concrete floors require frequent maintenance and can be most commonly found in hotels, showrooms, restaurants, retail outlets, industrial and residential garages, warehouses, and all while protecting your floors and and providing a beautiful environment for clients and guests.

What Is A Mechanically Polished Concrete Floor?

When a concrete floor is mechanically polished the floor’s surface is refined with diamond abrasive tools that can either produce a high sheen polished surface or a duller surface, per the client’s preference. Mechanical polished concrete is extremely cost effective and requires minimal maintenance and can be most commonly found in residential homes, showrooms, warehouses, restaurants, retail outlets, industrial, commercial and residential garages.

Which Application Is The Better Choice?

Both applications are beautiful flooring choices for residential, commercial and industrial settings. The choice will ultimately be determined from personal preference.
