Professional Concrete Coatings For Commercial Spaces: What’s Different

Key Takeaways

  • Stores and schools are the most common commercial spaces where we install commercial concrete coatings, especially in bathrooms and other high-traffic areas.
  • We use the same polyurea and polyaspartic floor coating systems that perform so well in garages to protect commercial concrete floors, holding up against forklifts, carts, and heavy daily use. Our commercial projects differ from residential work because they often involve removing existing tile, epoxy, or old flooring before installation.
  • Many businesses prefer smooth concrete coatings for easy cleaning, though we can add slip-resistant grit whenever needed.

Why Commercial Floors Need Something Different

Commercial floors are not the same as residential ones—they endure an entirely different level of stress.

Schools face thousands of footsteps every day, retail stores deal with constant cart traffic, and warehouses rely on surfaces strong enough for forklifts and heavy equipment.

Tile, epoxy, and painted concrete simply don’t last in this environment.

Our polyurea base coats combined with polyaspartic top coats form a floor coating system built for industrial floors, offering unmatched durability and a visually appealing finish that still looks great years later.

When people ask if they can get a commercial concrete coating, we tell them it’s the same, industry-leading solution we use in and around homes, too: polyaspartic.

Our Most Common Commercial Applications

We see the biggest demand for our concrete coatings in stores, where owners want durable floors that don’t require waxing like tile does.

Schools also turn to us, especially for restrooms and hallways where maintaining cleanliness is key and waxing is no longer necessary. Warehouses, shops, and even parking garages benefit from our coatings that withstand abrasion, chemicals, and heavy equipment without losing integrity. We also install coatings for food-related facilities that need surfaces easy to clean while maintaining safety and compliance. In these situations, polyaspartic is great because of how easily it can be cleaned: spray down! We can even bring it up the walls!

What Makes the Process Different For Commercial Coatings

For most projects, installation is similar to what we do in garages or basements.

The key difference is preparation.

Commercial spaces often already have tile, epoxy, or another system in place.

Our team removes old materials and properly prepares the concrete surface beneath before installing the new floor coating system. Once complete, our clients get a durable, chemical-resistant surface that is easier to maintain, protects against stains, and is built to withstand the demands of the industry.

Should You Do Smooth or Slip-Resistant?

While some businesses request traction additives, most prefer smooth floors.

Smooth commercial concrete coatings make it easier to clean spaces quickly, which is a priority in schools, food-related areas, and retail stores. When added safety is required, we apply the same grit system we use in garages to create slip-resistant industrial floors without sacrificing durability or integrity.
