Why Polyurea Coating Is the Ultimate Solution for Concrete Floors

September 6, 2024

Transform Your Concrete with Advanced Polyurea Coatings

Concrete floors are known for their durability, but over time, even the toughest concrete can show signs of wear and tear. Moisture, road salts, and freeze-thaw cycles can all contribute to the gradual deterioration of your concrete surfaces, making them look aged and damaged. However, there is a solution that not only restores the beauty of your concrete but also protects it for years to come: polyurea coating. At Rock Solid Surfacing, we use advanced polyurea technology to provide clean, durable, and decorative waterproof coatings that add value to your property and make your space bright and usable.


Floor Restoration and Surface Preparation

Whether you have a new or old concrete floor, our polyurea coating process begins with meticulous preparation. First, we address any cracks or decaying concrete. Using our proprietary polyurea filler, we ensure that cracks are filled all the way to the bottom. This filler penetrates deep into the concrete, curing below the surface and blocking moisture pressure that can cause future damage. After the cracks and decayed areas are repaired, we grind the floor to a smooth, flat finish, removing any highs and lows to prevent water pooling and to ensure a flawless final coat. Our professional grinding equipment is paired with a dustless vacuum system, ensuring a clean worksite and environmentally friendly disposal.

The Benefits of Polyurea Coating

Polyurea coating offers a range of benefits that make it an ideal choice for a variety of spaces, from garages and retail stores to medical facilities and industrial areas.



  • Exceptional Durability and Chemical Resistance: Polyurea coatings are known for their tight cross-linking, which creates a surface that is highly resistant to chemicals and de-icing salts. This makes them especially useful in environments like the Rocky Mountains, where road salts can quickly degrade lesser coatings. The coating can also be applied vertically over cove moldings, creating a seamless, waterproof basin that protects your walls and floors from water and salt damage.
  • Superior Adhesion: Unlike many coatings that merely sit on the surface, polyurea coatings “wet” into the concrete, much like water absorbed by a sponge. This deep absorption prevents issues like chipping and delamination, as the coating becomes an integral part of the floor. This wetting action also caps off tiny air holes in the concrete, significantly reducing moisture vapor transmission and contributing to healthier indoor air quality.
  • Low to Zero Bacteria Growth: The tight cross-linking of polyurea coatings results in straight microscratches that are easy to clean, preventing the buildup of dirt and bacteria. This is particularly beneficial in settings like medical facilities and kennels, where maintaining a sterile environment is crucial. Unlike other coatings that develop frayed edges trapping dirt and bacteria, polyurea floors remain clean and hygienic with minimal effort.
  • Green and Safe: Our polyurea coatings contain zero Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), making them environmentally friendly and safe for use in any setting. There are no harmful fumes, so you can rest easy knowing that your space is not only protected but also safe for occupants.
  • Rapid Cure Time: One of the standout features of polyurea coatings is their rapid cure time. Unlike traditional epoxy coatings that require multiple days for application and curing, polyurea can be applied in multiple coats within a single day. This means minimal downtime for your facility—your floor can be back in use by the next day, which is especially valuable for businesses that can’t afford prolonged interruptions.

Decorative and Customizable

Polyurea coatings are not just functional; they are also highly customizable. Whether you prefer a clear coat over stained concrete or want to add decorative chips for a terrazzo or quartz-like finish, the possibilities are endless. We offer a range of color packs and decorative chips, allowing you to create a look that perfectly matches your aesthetic. For businesses, we can even incorporate custom graphics or logos, adding a personalized touch to your floor.


If your concrete floors are showing signs of wear, or if you simply want to protect and enhance your space, polyurea coating from Rock Solid Surfacing is the solution you need. With its exceptional durability, rapid cure time, and customizable options, polyurea coating not only restores and protects your floors but also adds value to your property.
