WHAT IS POLYUREA?
POLYUREA IS AN ADVANCED COATING MATERIAL FORMED WHEN ISOCYANATE REACTS WITH A *SYNTHETIC RESIN BLEND, CREATING A FAST-SETTING, FLEXIBLE, AND EXTREMELY TOUGH PROTECTIVE BARRIER. UNLIKE TRADITIONAL FLOOR COATINGS, POLYUREA:
-
CURES IN HOURS INSTEAD OF DAYS
-
MAINTAINS HIGH ELASTICITY, REDUCING CRACKS CAUSED BY TEMPERATURE SWINGS
-
RESISTS UV DAMAGE, CHEMICALS, AND ABRASIONS
-
OFFERS A BEAUTIFUL, SEAMLESS FINISH THAT CAN BE CUSTOMIZED WITH DECORATIVE FLAKES OR PIGMENTS
WHY IS POLYUREA PERFECT FOR PITTSBURGH?
EXTREME WEATHER RESILIENCE
PITTSBURGH’S FREEZE-THAW CYCLES, SNOW, AND SUMMER HEAT CAN WREAK HAVOC ON UNPROTECTED CONCRETE. POLYUREA COATINGS EXPAND AND CONTRACT WITH THE CONCRETE, REDUCING CRACKS AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGE.
SALT & CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
WITH WINTER ROAD SALTS AND POTENTIAL CHEMICAL SPILLS IN GARAGES OR INDUSTRIAL FLOORS, A POLYUREA COATING FORMS A BARRIER THAT HELPS PREVENT CORROSION AND STAINS.
RAPID INSTALLATION & QUICK RETURN TO SERVICE
BECAUSE POLYUREA CURES SO QUICKLY, YOU CAN **WALK ON IT IN A MATTER OF HOURS*—ESSENTIAL FOR HOMEOWNERS AND BUSINESSES THAT DON’T WANT LENGTHY DOWNTIME.
ENHANCED AESTHETICS
A WIDE RANGE OF DECORATIVE FINISHES, FROM SOLID COLORS TO VINYL FLAKES, ALLOWS PITTSBURGH PROPERTY OWNERS TO CUSTOMIZE THEIR FLOORS FOR STYLE AND FUNCTIONALITY.
THE IMPORTANCE OF JOINT REPAIR
WHY JOINTS MATTER
CONCRETE SLABS, WHETHER IN GARAGES, BASEMENTS, OR INDUSTRIAL FLOORS, INCLUDE CONTROL JOINTS AND EXPANSION JOINTS TO MANAGE NATURAL SHIFTING AND PREVENT LARGE CRACKS. OVER TIME, JOINTS CAN:
​
-
CRACK, CHIP, OR SPALL (BREAK AWAY AT THE EDGES)
-
ACCUMULATE DIRT, MOISTURE, AND SALTS
-
CREATE TRIPPING HAZARDS OR LEAD TO FURTHER STRUCTURAL ISSUES IF IGNORED
