Polyurea Flake Flooring for Decorative Coatings

If you’re looking for a custom, decorative concrete floor coating, polyurea flake flooring can offer a durable, high-quality solution. Decorative flakes are added to your polyurea floors to give them character and texture. Decorative polyurea flake coatings are popular for a number of applications in both commercial and residential spaces.

What is Polyurea Flake Flooring?

Polyurea floor coatings are similar to epoxy, but with added benefits and durability. Polyurea/polyaspartic floors are up to four times more durable than traditional epoxy floors and last twice as long. Polyurea floors are anti-slip and rarely peels, cracks, or flakes like other types of concrete coatings and paint. Polyurea flake floor coatings add a protective and decorative layer to your concrete floors.

In polyurea flake floors, decorative flakes are added for visual interest. They give your new floors a beautiful texture and come in a wide range of color options. They are sprinkled on top of a tinted basecoat before adding a clear top coat to seal everything in, ensuring your new flooring design is protected.

What Options Does Polyurea Flake Flooring Come in?

Polyurea flakes come in a wide range of color options. You will be able to choose a tinted basecoat and what colors you want your flakes to be, so your floors will be customized to your exact needs. Discuss the style you want with a flooring professional and they will be able to assist in picking the right colors for your goals.

Why Do Professionals Recommend Polyurea/Polyaspartic Coatings?

Many flooring experts recommend polyurea/polyaspartic floor coatings over epoxy for their many benefits. These benefits give polyurea an edge over traditional epoxy that just can’t be beaten.

Highly Durable

Polyaspartic coatings are highly durable, up to four times more durable than traditional epoxy. They are scratch, stain, and chemical resistant, so you can be sure that your floors will continue to look amazing regardless of what daily activities they may be put through.

Easy to Clean

Polyurea floors are non-porous, making them easy to clean and maintain. Your new floors will only require sweeping and occasional mopping to keep them clean. Their non-porous nature also makes them moisture resistant, keeping them in excellent condition longer.

Faster Curing

Epoxy floors can take over a week to cure, but polyaspartic floors can be walked on just a few hours after installation. Cut out the wait time and go with a polyurea floor coating to allow you to get back to your routine in 24 hours or less.

100% UV Stable

Epoxy floors are known to turn yellow and fade over time with exposure to UV rays from the sun. Polyaspartic floor coatings are 100% UV stable, meaning they will not fade or turn yellow even after years of sun exposure. Your polyurea floors will look as bright and new as the day they were installed for years to come.

Customizable

Polyurea floors are completely customizable, allowing you to choose the right colors and textures for your space. Polyurea floors even come in metallic and glitter options, so the potential designs and colors you can choose from are practically limitless!
