The Role Of RH Testing In Concrete Moisture Mitigation
Moisture is one of those concrete problems that can sit quietly for weeks… and then show up all at once as peeling coatings, bubbling epoxy, whitening (blushing), dark spots under sealers, or flooring adhesives that just won’t stay put. The frustrating part is that the slab can look dry on the surface and still be […]
Slip-Resistant Architectural Toppings for Public Buildings
In a public building, the floor isn’t just a design choice. It’s part of the safety plan. People hustle. They track in rain and snow. Someone spills a drink. A custodian mops. A stroller or wheelchair rolls through. If the surface is too smooth, things can go sideways fast. That’s where slip-resistant architectural toppings come […]
Outdoor Use Cases for Concrete Floor Micro Toppings
If you’ve ever looked at a weathered patio or a driveway that’s seen one too many Colorado winters and thought, “Do we really have to tear all this out?”, you’re asking the right question.

What Are the Two Most Commonly Used Types of Coatings for Concrete Floors?
If you ask facility managers, contractors, or manufacturers which concrete floor coatings they specify the most, you’ll hear the same two answers over and over: epoxy and polyurethane (urethane). Together, these resin systems cover the majority of commercial, industrial, and even high-end residential projects because they balance durability, cost, and appearance better than most alternatives. […]
What Is the Strongest Concrete Finish?
“Strongest” depends on the kind of abuse your slab faces. A finish that wins against thermal shock may not be the champ for abrasion, and vice versa. In real-world facilities, three solutions repeatedly rise to the top: urethane-cement (polyurethane-concrete) systems, built-up epoxy with a polyurethane topcoat, and hardened/polished concrete using dry-shake hardeners and densifiers. Each […]
How Custom Concrete Staining Boosts Property Value
If you want a finish that can lift curb appeal and stand up to real life, custom concrete staining is a smart play. Unlike paint or thin films that can peel, decorative stains penetrate the slab to create color that won’t flake off under foot traffic. Paired with the right sealer and maintenance plan, stained […]
