Matching concrete coatings to facility needs

Expanding product options can create complex decisions


Concrete surfaces play a central role in facilities, from creating a first impression for visitors to providing safe, reliable surfaces for walking to and around buildings, according to an article from Facilities Maintenance Decisions on the FacilitiesNet website.  

The challenge for maintenance and engineering managers is ensuring the safe condition of these surfaces to prevent potential costly problems, including slips and falls and premature replacement. 

As these products evolve, managers who specify hardscape coatings need to understand what works best for their substrates because their product options are expanding.

“Managers today have more choices than they ever have,” says Johnnie Elliot with Rustoleum. “It doesn’t matter if they are looking for a protective finish or a decorative finish, metallics or stains. 

There are just more choices than there have ever been. There was a time when you had to choose between a protective coating or a decorative coating, and now you can get them both in the same system.”
