Deck & Floor Coatings

Shine up your facility’s floors for the holidays

How many customers walk through your retail store or commercial facility during the holiday season? Your decks and floors will see increased traffic for the next few months. Having new coatings applied now can not only improve the look of your facility, but also helps protect your decks and floors from the additional wear and tear of holiday shopping.

How do deck and floor coatings help?

Of course, a new deck or floor coating looks great and contributes to a strong, all-important first impression for your mall, retail store, or other commercial facility—but there are more benefits than just aesthetic appeal.

The best commercial deck and floor coatings are tough, durable, and able to withstand heavy traffic, including foot and equipment traffic. They not only help to cover surface imperfections and prevent existing chips or cracks from spreading, but also protect your floors and decks from scuffs, scratches, and stains. Many types of coatings are impermeable to liquids, which makes for easy cleanup.

Types of floor and deck coatings for commercial facilities

Epoxy resins are a popular type of commercial floor coating. This two-part paint dries to a hard-as-nails finish and resists scratching, chipping, and water damage. When using epoxy resins, it’s important to hire a commercial painting contractor with extensive experience, as the two-part solution requires precise mixing and timing in order to supply maximum protection.

Another commonly used coating for commercial floors, and particularly outdoor decks, is elastomeric paint. Elastomerics are highly flexible and 100% elastic, allowing them to flex along with the substrate under extreme temperature changes, and bridge small holes or cracks. This type of paint can be tinted to match any color choice.

A new deck or floor coating can help your facility look fantastic for the holidays, and with a skilled commercial painting contractor, your floors or decks will remain in great shape for years.
