💡Concrete floors are extremely durable and ideal for radiant heating.
🔍Concrete floors crack easily, so stress cut relief cuts are necessary.
🌬️Concrete floors are porous and prone to staining, but can be sealed to prevent this.
✨Epoxy coating provides depth and fills in grout lines, giving a level surface.
🔆A polyurethane satin coat adds a matte finish and UV protection to the epoxy.
Why are concrete floors a good option?
—Concrete floors are strong, durable, and ideal for radiant heating systems.
Why do concrete floors need stress cut relief cuts?
—Concrete floors tend to crack, and relief cuts help control and minimize cracking.
What are the drawbacks of concrete floors?
—Concrete floors are porous, stain easily, and require regular sealing to maintain appearance.
What is the benefit of using epoxy coating?
—Epoxy coating adds depth, fills grout lines, and creates a level surface that is easy to clean.
Why apply a polyurethane satin coat?
—A polyurethane satin coat provides a matte finish and offers protection against UV damage.
