About Concrete Coatings
Whether you're considering concrete coatings for your garage floor or outdoor living spaces, you likely have questions about our process, products, and results. Here are the most common questions DFW homeowners ask about Floor Shield's premium concrete coating systems.
How long does the installation process take?
Most installations can be completed in a single day. Unlike traditional epoxy coatings that can take days to cure, our 100% polyaspartic system allows you to use your space within hours of completion.
What makes your coatings better than epoxy?
Our 100% polyaspartic coatings are up to 4x more durable than epoxy, UV-resistant (won't yellow or fade), cure faster, and can be installed in a wider range of temperatures. They also provide better chemical resistance and maintain their flexibility over time.
How long will my concrete coating last?
With proper care, our coatings are designed to last for many years. We back this durability with our comprehensive 15-year warranty.
How do your coatings handle the Texas heat?
Our 100% polyaspartic coatings are specifically engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and intense UV exposure. They won't yellow, fade, or degrade even during the hottest DFW summers.
What type of maintenance is required?
Our coatings are virtually maintenance-free. Regular sweeping and occasional wet mopping are all that's needed to maintain their like-new appearance.
Can you coat any concrete surface?
We can coat most structurally sound concrete surfaces. During your consultation, we'll assess your concrete's condition to ensure it's suitable for coating.
What color and style options are available?
We offer two premium finishes: our popular decorative flake system and our sleek solid color system. Both come in a variety of colors and combinations to match your home's aesthetic.
How do I prepare my space for installation?
We'll provide detailed instructions before installation, but generally, you'll need to remove all items from the area and ensure clear access to the space.
Are your coatings safe for kids and pets?
Yes, once cured, our coatings are completely safe for families and pets. They're also non-slip, making them safer for daily use.
What happens if my concrete is damaged?
During preparation, we repair minor concrete damage like cracks and chips. For more significant damage, we'll assess the repairs needed during your consultation.
Will the coating help prevent future concrete damage?
Yes, our coating system creates a protective barrier that helps prevent moisture penetration, chemical damage, and surface deterioration.
Can I pressure wash the coated surface?
Yes, our coatings can withstand pressure washing, though it's rarely needed. Standard cleaning methods are usually sufficient.
What happens if my coating gets damaged?
While our coatings are extremely durable, if damage occurs within the warranty period, contact us to discuss repair options under our 15-year warranty.
