Myth-Busting: Debunking Common Myths About Concrete Floor Coatings

With October upon us, it’s the perfect time to confront those spooky myths and misconceptions lurking around concrete floor coatings. Just like any good ghost story, some myths about floor coatings may sound convincing, but they don’t hold up under the light of day. This month, we’re here to bust these myths and show you the real, fact-based benefits of professional concrete coating solutions from WeCoat Central Texas. Let’s exorcise those fears and uncover the truth about concrete coatings!

Myth #1: Concrete Coatings Don’t Last
Fact:
High-quality coatings, such as our polyurea system, are designed to be incredibly durable and long-lasting. When applied correctly by trained professionals, polyurea coatings resist wear and tear, chemicals, UV damage, and abrasions, making them ideal for garages, patios, and commercial spaces. WeCoat’s coatings are backed by a 15-year guarantee, giving you long-term peace of mind that won’t fade away like a ghost in the night.

Myth #2: Concrete Floor Coatings Require Constant Maintenance
Fact: One of the great advantages of concrete floor coatings is that they’re far from a maintenance nightmare. Our professionally applied coatings create a smooth, sealed surface that resists dust, stains, and spills. Just sweep or mop occasionally to keep your floors looking fresh—no need for waxing, sealing, or spells to ward off grime.

Myth #3: All Concrete Coatings Are the Same
Fact: There is a big difference between DIY kits and professionally applied coatings like polyurea. While DIY kits may promise results that seem almost magical, they often fall short when it comes to durability and customization. WeCoat’s professional-grade polyurea coatings offer superior strength and aesthetic appeal. Our chip flake system comes in 24 colors, letting you customize the look to reflect your style—no tricks, just treats!

Myth #4: Coating Concrete Is Only for Aesthetics
Fact: While concrete coatings definitely enhance the look of your floors, they also serve practical purposes. Our polyurea coatings protect the underlying concrete from moisture, chemicals, and physical damage, like a protective barrier against the elements. The textured chip flake finish also adds slip resistance, making your floors safer for all sorts of environments.

Myth #5: It’s Cheaper to Apply Concrete Coatings Yourself
Fact: DIY kits might seem like a bargain at first, but that savings can vanish quickly if the coating fails because of improper application or lack of preparation. Professional installation ensures a job done right, maximizing the lifespan of the coating and avoiding the horror of costly repairs or reapplications.
