Installing Polyurea & Epoxy Coatings Year-Round

The weather in Northern Illinois and Chicagoland can be both unpredictable and beautiful. Year-round weather changes can make an impact on any homeowner’s decision of when to complete home improvement projects. The best part of choosing to install our polyurea and epoxy concrete coating systems in your garage or home is the convenient flexibility of any time application.
 
Let’s explore the many benefits of installing our concrete coatings no matter what the weather outside looks like!
 

Flexible Temperature Requirements

Polyurea concrete coatings are known for their exceptional versatility and can be installed year-round, regardless of temperature extremes. Unlike traditional coatings that may require specific temperature conditions to cure properly, polyurea coatings are formulated to perform in a wide range of temperatures, from as low as -30°F to as high as 140°F. This unique characteristic makes them an ideal choice for both cold and hot climates, ensuring reliable application and fast curing even in challenging weather conditions. Whether it’s freezing winter temperatures or sweltering summer heat, polyurea coatings maintain their effectiveness, offering contractors and property owners the flexibility to complete projects on time, without worrying about seasonal limitations. This makes polyurea an excellent solution for industrial floors, parking decks, and other concrete surfaces that need robust protection throughout the year.

 

Low VOCs

Polyurea concrete coatings are a popular choice for protecting and enhancing concrete surfaces due to their durability and quick curing time. One of the key benefits of polyurea coatings is their low volatile organic compound (VOC) content, making them a more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional coatings. VOCs are harmful chemicals that can contribute to air pollution and pose health risks during application. Polyurea coatings, with their low VOC formulation, help reduce these environmental and health concerns, offering a safer alternative for both applicators and building occupants. This quality, combined with their exceptional resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and weathering, makes polyurea coatings ideal for high-performance applications in commercial, industrial, and residential settings.

 

UV Protected

Polyurea concrete coatings are highly valued for their outstanding UV resistance, making them an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor applications. Unlike many traditional coatings that can degrade or discolor when exposed to sunlight, polyurea coatings maintain their integrity and appearance over time, even under prolonged UV exposure. This UV stability prevents yellowing, fading, and chalking, ensuring that concrete surfaces remain visually appealing and protected from the damaging effects of the sun. As a result, polyurea coatings are ideal for exterior applications, such as driveways, walkways, and industrial floors, where they can withstand harsh environmental conditions without compromising performance. This UV resistance not only enhances the longevity of the coating but also contributes to maintaining the aesthetic quality of the surface for years to come.

Ultimately, installing our polyurea and epoxy system can be done at any time of the year. Your garage coating can be done in the heat of summer or the dead of winter due to the flexibility and durability of our products. Why wait until the warm weather comes to have your garage transformed?
