Polyurethane Flooring — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between polyurethane and epoxy flooring?
Both are resin floors. Polyurethane is more flexible and handles thermal shock, UV and abrasion better, while epoxy is very hard and bonds strongly. We recommend the right system for your space.
Is PU flooring slippery?
A smooth gloss finish can be slippery when wet, so we add anti-slip aggregates for kitchens, wet areas and ramps.
How soon can I use the floor?
Light foot traffic is usually possible within a day, with full cure after several days depending on the system and temperature.
Can polyurethane go over existing concrete?
Yes. Concrete is ground or prepared, repaired where needed, primed and then coated.
