Clear Finish Floor Coatings for Shops and Showrooms

CLEAR FLOOR COATING FINISHES FOR SHOWROOMS, OFFICES SHOPPING CENTERS AND RETAIL STORES

Clear concrete sealers and polyurethane finishes are products that can be used to protect and enhance the appearance of the concrete surface inside showrooms and other retail or commercial environments. They are applied as a clear liquid and are designed to seal and protect the concrete from moisture, stains, and other types of damage. Clear floor coatings are an ideal solution for retail spaces that want their natural salt and pepper concrete-look with the added protection and benefits of a high quality concrete sealer. There are many different types of clear concrete sealers available for commercial industries including penetrating sealers, topical sealers, polyurethanes and more.

 Penetrating sealers 

Penetrating sealers for concrete floors are a type of concrete sealer that penetrates deep into the concrete substrate to protect it from water, stains, and other contaminants. Unlike topical sealers that create a film on the surface of the concrete, penetrating sealers work by filling the microscopic pores and capillaries of the concrete with a hydrophobic barrier. This barrier repels water and other liquids, preventing them from penetrating the concrete and causing damage.

Clear penetrating sealers are typically made from a variety of materials, such as silicates, silanes, and siloxanes, and may come in different formulations depending on the specific needs of the project. For example, some penetrating sealers are designed to be used on new concrete, while others are formulated for use on older, more porous concrete. Additionally, some penetrating sealers are designed to be used on exterior concrete, while others are better suited for interior applications.

One of the primary benefits of penetrating sealers is that they do not change the appearance or texture of the concrete, unlike topical sealers that can leave a glossy or matte finish. This can be particularly beneficial for decorative concrete surfaces, such as stamped or stained concrete, where the texture and color of the concrete are important design elements.

Overall, penetrating sealers are an effective way to protect concrete floors from damage, while maintaining their natural appearance and texture.

 Topical Sealers 

Topical sealers for concrete floors are a type of sealer that forms a protective film or layer on the surface of the concrete and can provide a glossy or matte finish depending on the specific type of sealer used.

Clear opical sealers are applied directly onto the surface of the concrete, and can provide a range of benefits depending on the specific formulation of the sealer. Some topical sealers are designed to protect concrete from water, stains, and other contaminants, while others are formulated to enhance the color and appearance of the concrete.

There are different types of topical sealers available, including acrylic, epoxy, and polyurethane sealers. Acrylic sealers are typically the most common type of topical sealer, and are often used on decorative concrete surfaces such as stamped or stained concrete. Epoxy and polyurethane sealers are more durable and provide better protection against abrasion and chemicals, but are typically more expensive.

One of the main benefits of topical sealers is that they can enhance the appearance of the concrete, making it look more vibrant and colorful. They can also provide a layer of protection against scratches, stains, and UV damage, which can extend the life of the concrete.

 Polyurethanes 

Clear polyurethane coatings are an excellent choice for concrete floors in showrooms and shops. They are often used on high-traffic concrete floors, such as those found in retail, industrial or other commercial settings, because they provide excellent protection against abrasions, staining, discolouration, and UV damage.

One of the primary benefits of clear polyurethane coatings is that they can provide a glossy or matte finish, depending on the specific formulation used. This can be beneficial for enhancing the appearance of the concrete and creating a more polished, professional look.
