(MoneyNewsWire.Net, August 05, 2014 ) Salem, OH -- Concrete floors are subject to almost every type of abuse, and businesses can no longer afford the cost of replacing or restoring their floors every two to three years. Fortunately, there are numerous coatings to protect floors from continual abuse. But instead of just covering the problem, Advanced Floor Coatings evaluate floors for potential problems before applying an appropriate coating.
Decades ago, concrete protection was essentially none existent. Today, there are solutions that provide basic protection to advanced solutions that protect floors from abrasion, thermal shock, impact and chemical attacks. Concrete is a naturally porous material, so floors are subject to extreme damage if there’s no appropriate covering. However, business owners face the added complications of moisture vapor transmission if they underestimate the impact of moisture in their concrete slabs. In order to mitigate costly repairs later on, Advanced Floor Coatings recommend third-party moisture checks to all their clients before recommending an efficient moisture control system to prevent peeling, bubbling, or liquid emissions under the applied coating.
Moisture tests might seem like an unnecessary expense for businesses on a budget, but the simple test could lead to thousands of dollars in savings later on. Installing a concrete floor is an expensive undertaking, and in most cases, reinstalling might be the only option after extensive water vapor damage. Typical concrete floor problems such as loose tiles, deformed flooring, blisters in vinyl flooring, ruptures on the surface, and moisture oozing through small cracks may be avoided through the use of effective concrete floor moisture barriers.
Eliminating moisture is sometimes impossible. This poses a challenge for industrial flooring in high moisture areas. However, with advanced flooring solutions that control moisture and a myriad of other properties, it’s possible to avoid problems and costly remediation later on. According to an Advanced Floor Coatings specialist, “There are a multitude of variables that affect flooring before and after application of the coating. Some installers will clean and roughen the surface before application, but they won’t recommend moisture testing, which is essential to the floor’s longevity. Unlike others, we recommend testing and use a topical moisture or pH suppression system to prevent surface damage.”
Advanced Floor Coatings’ mission is to get the installation right – the first time around. Moisture damage leads to costly concrete floor failures that cost businesses thousands in repairs. The experts at AFC use their combined experience and a full line of Moisture Vapor Control (MVT) flooring solutions to create a strong bond to the concrete and keep moisture out.
