While it is possible to complete certain installations in one day, we prioritize quality and durability over speed. Factors like moisture levels, surface preparation, and curing times play a crucial role in achieving long-lasting results. Our approach ensures a high-performance finish that stands the test of time.
We conduct thorough moisture testing using industry-standard meters to determine if the concrete is suitable for coating. If high moisture levels are detected, we apply a moisture-mitigating primer to prevent issues like peeling or delamination, ensuring a durable and reliable finish.
What types of coatings do you offer, and how do they compare?
We provide a range of high-performance coatings, including epoxy, polyurethane, and polyaspartic systems. Each type has distinct advantages—epoxy is known for its durability and strong adhesion, polyurethane offers excellent flexibility and chemical resistance, while polyaspartic coatings cure quickly and provide superior UV resistance. Our team carefully selects the right coating based on your specific needs.
What are the key differences between epoxy, polyurethane, and polyaspartic coatings?
Epoxy: Durable, strong adhesion, and ideal as a primer or base coat but may yellow over time in UV exposure.
Polyurethane: Flexible, resistant to chemicals, and offers better UV stability compared to epoxy.
Polyaspartic: Fast curing, highly resistant to UV rays and chemicals, making it a great option for high-traffic areas and outdoor applications.
We assess each project individually to recommend the best system for long-term performance.
How do you repair cracks or imperfections in existing concrete surfaces?
Concrete naturally expands and contracts, which can lead to cracking. We use high-quality elastomeric fillers designed to move with the concrete, preventing future failures. Proper crack repair ensures a smooth, durable surface before any coatings are applied.
Where can I access technical and safety data sheets for the products you use?
We use premium coatings from Epoxy Warehouse USA, and their technical data sheets (TDS) and safety data sheets (SDS) are available on request or directly on their website. We believe in full transparency, so you can review product specifications and safety details before installation.
Do your coatings perform well in extreme temperature conditions?
Yes, our coatings are designed to withstand a variety of environmental conditions, including extreme heat, cold, and humidity. Proper product selection and application techniques allow us to install coatings year-round while maintaining their strength and appearance.
What steps do you take to prepare the concrete surface before applying a coating?
Surface preparation is critical for adhesion and longevity. We use professional diamond grinding equipment with OSHA-approved HEPA vacuums to create the proper concrete surface profile (CSP). This method removes contaminants, ensures optimal adhesion, and minimizes airborne dust. Acid etching is not a part of our process, as it does not provide the same level of surface preparation.
Do you use environmentally friendly, low-VOC or zero-VOC coatings?
Yes, we prioritize the use of low-VOC and zero-VOC coatings to ensure a safer environment for both our customers and installers. Our coatings meet industry standards for eco-friendly performance while maintaining exceptional durability.
What warranty do you offer on your coatings, and what does it cover?
We provide a comprehensive and competitive warranty that covers material and installation defects. Our warranty ensures that your floor will maintain its performance and appearance for years to come. Specific terms vary by project, and we are happy to discuss the details based on your installation.
At Safeguard Coatings, we stand behind the quality and durability of our products and services. That’s why we offer a Limited Lifetime Warranty to provide you with confidence and peace of mind. We are here when you need us.
