The Best Flooring Solutions for Fire Stations and Police Departments

The Best Flooring Solutions for Fire Stations and Police Departments At Revival Concrete Coatings, we understand the critical demands placed on public safety facilities like fire stations and police departments. These environments require flooring systems that are tough, reliable, easy to clean, and safe—while standing up to heavy traffic, chemicals, moisture, and abrasion. In this post, we’ll explore the top-performing concrete coating solutions for these mission-critical buildings and explain why urethane cement, high-wear urethane coatings, and quartz flooring are ideal choices. Why Public Safety Facilities Need Specialized Flooring Firehouses and police stations are more than just workplaces—they’re hubs of emergency response. Their floors endure: Heavy equipment (fire engines, squad cars, gear carts) Constant foot traffic Thermal shock from hot tires, tools, or gear Frequent cleaning, including pressure washing and chemical disinfectants Oil, grease, and chemical spills That means the flooring must be: Slip-resistant Durable under abrasion and impact Resistant to chemicals and thermal stress Low-maintenance and hygienic 1. Urethane Cement: The Ultimate Workhorse Best for: Apparatus bays, wash-down areas, and locker rooms Urethane cement is the gold standard in high-performance environments. This system combines portland cement and urethane resin to create a flooring solution that is: Seamless and antimicrobial, ideal for hygiene Thermal shock-resistant, perfect under hot tires or hot water washdowns Chemical- and moisture-resistant Extremely durable, withstanding heavy equipment and impact It also bonds directly to concrete, tolerates moisture vapor transmission, and can be textured for slip resistance. 2. High-Wear Urethane Topcoats: Extending Surface Life Best for: Hallways, offices, dispatch rooms, and storage areas When you want durability but with a polished look and easy maintenance, a high-wear urethane topcoat is your answer. Applied over epoxy or polyaspartic base coats, these urethanes: Provide long-term abrasion resistance Offer UV stability to prevent yellowing in sunlight-exposed areas Resist chemical etching and scratches Come in satin or matte finishes for reduced glare These coatings reduce the need for waxing or buffing, making them perfect for administrative areas where a professional appearance and performance matter. 3. Quartz Broadcast Floors: Strength and Safety in One Best for: Locker rooms, bathrooms, break rooms, and hallways Quartz floors combine decorative appeal with industrial-grade performance. Made by broadcasting colored quartz granules into a resin base and sealing with topcoats, they provide: Slip resistance, even when wet Attractive color and design options Durability against foot traffic and chemicals Seamless, hygienic surfaces that are easy to clean They’re ideal for areas where aesthetics and safety intersect, like public lobbies or staff quarters. Flooring Type Best For Key Benefits Urethane Cement Apparatus bays, wash-down areas, locker rooms Thermal shock resistance, chemical durability, seamless hygiene, impact resistance High-Wear Urethane Hallways, offices, dispatch, storage Abrasion resistance, UV stability, low-maintenance, long-term wear Quartz Broadcast Floor Bathrooms, locker rooms, break rooms, public areas Slip resistance, decorative finish, chemical resistance, seamless & sanitary

Let’s walk you through what this system is all about, why it’s gaining traction, and how it works wonders in residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. Residential: Style Meets Simplicity If you’re a homeowner, you know the struggle: you want a floor that looks great, doesn’t demand too much upkeep, and can handle day-to-day life. Grind and seal gives you all that and more. Benefits: Aesthetic Appeal: Want that modern, polished concrete look? This system enhances the natural tones and textures of concrete. Easy Maintenance: Sealed surfaces are resistant to stains and spills. Just sweep and mop! Budget-Friendly: No need for a full polish. Grind and seal gives the look at a lower cost, while providing moderate protection from contaminants.   ️ Commercial: First Impressions Count Business owners know that presentation matters. Whether it’s a boutique or a restaurant, the floor sets the tone. Benefits: Durability: Handles high foot traffic with ease. Customizable Finish: Choose gloss levels or add color tints for brand consistency. Fast Turnaround: Compared to tile or epoxy, grind and seal is quicker to install—perfect for businesses that can’t afford lengthy closures. Average Installation Time by System Flooring Type Avg.

Best Practices for Cleaning Polyaspartic Flake & Quartz Floors By Revival Concrete Coatings When you invest in premium concrete floor coatings like polyaspartic flake or quartz systems, maintaining that showroom-quality finish is essential. Fortunately, both of these flooring solutions are designed to be low-maintenance and highly durable — perfect for garages, basements, commercial spaces, and more. To help you get the most from your investment, we’ve outlined best practices for cleaning and maintaining your polyaspartic flake and quartz floors so they stay looking brand new for years to come. Why Proper Maintenance Matters Polyaspartic floors are resistant to abrasion, chemicals, and UV exposure, while flake and quartz systems provide added texture, slip resistance, and visual appeal. However, even the toughest floors benefit from routine care: Prolongs lifespan of your coating Prevents buildup of grime and debris Maintains safety through improved traction Preserves the aesthetic value of your floors Daily & Weekly Cleaning Routine 1. Dry Debris Removal Use a soft-bristle broom, dust mop, or dry microfiber mop to remove dirt, dust, and grit. Avoid stiff brushes or metal tools that could damage the surface. Pro Tip: For garages or commercial areas with more traffic, consider using a leaf blower to remove loose debris quickly. 2. Wet Mopping (Weekly or As Needed) Use a pH-neutral cleaner diluted with warm water. Apply with a microfiber mop or soft mop head. Avoid harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners which can degrade the coating’s finish. Recommended Cleaning Solution: A few drops of dish soap (non-abrasive) in a bucket of warm water. Commercial pH-neutral floor cleaners labeled safe for epoxy or polyaspartic coatings. Deep Cleaning: Monthly or Quarterly For areas with heavy usage or exposure to chemicals (like garages or workshops), schedule deeper cleanings: Steps: Clear the area of furniture, tools, or vehicles. Vacuum or sweep thoroughly. Use a soft-bristle scrub brush or walk-behind scrubber (non-aggressive pads only). Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Dry the surface using a wet vac or allow it to air dry with good ventilation. Avoid: Steam cleaners or high-pressure washers, which may compromise the floor’s sealant over time. Spill and Stain Management Oil & Grease: Wipe up immediately with paper towels. Clean residue using a degreasing cleaner diluted properly (safe for coated floors). Chemicals & Paint: Remove immediately to prevent etching or discoloration. Use a mild cleaner — no acetone or MEK-based products. Rust or Metal Marks: Light scrubbing with a nylon pad and a pH-neutral cleaner often does the trick. Avoid steel wool or harsh abrasives. Seasonal Maintenance Tips Winter: Use floor mats to trap road salt and snow. Mop more frequently to prevent salt residue from dulling the surface. Summer: Watch for sand or mud buildup near entrances — sweep regularly. Humidity won’t harm polyaspartic floors, but use fans for faster drying post-cleaning. What to Avoid ❌ Acid-based cleaners (e.g., vinegar, bleach) ❌ Abrasive pads or wire brushes ❌ High-pressure washers ❌ Leaving puddles or standing water Final Thoughts Your polyaspartic flake or quartz floor is built to last — and with a simple cleaning routine, it can continue looking flawless for decades. Whether it’s your garage, patio, or commercial space, Revival Concrete Coatings is committed to delivering not just exceptional flooring, but also the know-how to keep it looking pristine. If you have any questions about cleaning or maintaining your coated floors, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to help you protect your investment every step of the way. (515)-850-7192

Preparing for Success: The Role of Surface Prep in Epoxy and Urethane Cement Coatings

The Importance of Proper Prep Work for Urethane Cement and Epoxy Floor Coatings When applying urethane cement or epoxy floor coatings, achieving long-lasting performance starts with proper surface preparation. These coatings are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings due to their durability, chemical resistance, and aesthetic appeal. However, even the highest-quality coatings will fail prematurely if the substrate is not adequately prepared. Understanding the role of prep work is essential for ensuring a successful installation. Why Surface Preparation Matters 1. Ensuring Proper Adhesion One of the most critical aspects of floor coating success is adhesion. Without proper surface preparation, coatings may delaminate, bubble, or peel over time. Mechanical surface preparation enhances adhesion by creating a profile that allows the coating to bond effectively with the concrete. 2. Removing Contaminants Concrete surfaces can accumulate various contaminants, such as oil, grease, dust, and curing compounds, all of which can interfere with adhesion. Thorough cleaning and degreasing help eliminate these substances, ensuring a clean surface for application. 3. Creating the Right Surface Profile Concrete is naturally smooth, which can prevent coatings from adhering properly. Techniques such as diamond grinding or shot blasting create a roughened profile that allows coatings to mechanically bond, reducing the likelihood of failure. 4. Addressing Moisture Issues Moisture can be a hidden challenge when applying floor coatings. If moisture is present within the concrete slab, it can cause coatings to lift or blister over time. Conducting moisture tests before installation helps identify potential issues, and appropriate mitigation methods, such as moisture barriers, can prevent failures. Key Steps in Surface Preparation Cleaning the Surface Remove dirt, grease, and debris. Use a degreaser or detergent for areas with oil or chemical contamination. Profiling the Concrete Utilize mechanical methods such as diamond grinding or shot blasting to create the appropriate Concrete Surface Profile (CSP). For epoxy coatings, a CSP of 2-4 is typically recommended, while urethane cement often requires CSP 4-6. Testing for Moisture Conduct a calcium chloride test or a relative humidity test to assess moisture levels within the slab. If necessary, apply moisture mitigation products to prevent coating failure. Repairing Cracks and Imperfections Fill cracks, joints, and spalled areas with suitable patching materials to ensure a uniform surface. Final Inspection and Cleaning Remove dust and debris with an industrial vacuum to ensure an optimal bonding surface for the coating. Consequences of Inadequate Prep Work Skipping or rushing through surface preparation can lead to significant issues, including: Premature Coating Failure: Without proper adhesion, coatings may peel, bubble, or delaminate. Increased Maintenance Costs: A failed coating system often requires extensive repairs, leading to additional material and labor expenses. Safety and Compliance Concerns: Poorly adhered coatings can create tripping hazards or fail to meet industry standards in commercial and industrial settings. Final Thoughts Proper surface preparation is the foundation of any successful urethane cement or epoxy floor coating project. Investing time in thorough prep work ensures better adhesion, improved durability, and long-term performance. By following best practices in cleaning, profiling, moisture testing, and crack repair, professionals can maximize the effectiveness of their coatings and prevent costly failures. A well-prepared surface leads to a stronger, more resilient floor that meets the demands of its environment.

The Benefits of Urethane Cement Flooring in Food Processing Facilities

The Benefits of Urethane Cement Flooring in Food Processing Facilities Food processing facilities operate in some of the most demanding environments, where flooring must withstand extreme temperatures, heavy equipment, chemical exposure, and stringent sanitation requirements. Traditional flooring systems often fail under these conditions, leading to costly repairs and potential contamination risks. Urethane cement has emerged as one of the best solutions for food processing plants due to its durability, chemical resistance, and compliance with strict food safety standards. What is Urethane Cement? Urethane cement, also known as polyurethane concrete, is a high-performance flooring system made from a blend of urethane, cement, and other aggregates. This combination creates a seamless, highly durable surface that resists damage from moisture, thermal shock, and harsh cleaning chemicals. Unlike traditional epoxy coatings, urethane cement can expand and contract with temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for environments like commercial kitchens and food processing plants. Key Benefits of Urethane Cement Flooring in Food Processing 1. Exceptional Durability and Longevity Food processing plants experience constant foot traffic, heavy machinery movement, and exposure to aggressive cleaning protocols. Urethane cement is designed to handle these challenges, offering long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. It resists impact damage, abrasions, and cracking, ensuring a reliable flooring system for years to come. 2. Superior Chemical and Moisture Resistance Food processing facilities frequently use caustic cleaning agents, acidic food byproducts, and other chemicals that can deteriorate traditional flooring. Urethane cement is highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, preventing degradation and maintaining a sanitary surface. Additionally, its low permeability makes it an excellent choice for areas prone to moisture exposure, such as meat and dairy processing plants. 3. Thermal Shock Resistance Drastic temperature changes are common in food processing, from hot water washdowns to freezer room conditions. Many flooring systems crack or delaminate under thermal shock, but urethane cement expands and contracts without compromising its integrity. This makes it an ideal flooring solution for areas exposed to boiling water, steam cleaning, or extreme cold storage. 4. Seamless and Hygienic Surface Maintaining a clean and sanitary environment is critical in food processing. Urethane cement creates a seamless, non-porous surface that prevents bacteria, mold, and other contaminants from harboring in cracks and crevices. This flooring system is easy to clean and can be installed with antimicrobial additives for additional protection against microbial growth. 5. Slip-Resistant and Safe for Workers Worker safety is a top priority in food processing facilities, where spills and wet conditions can create hazardous slip risks. Urethane cement can be customized with anti-slip textures to improve traction and reduce workplace injuries. Its slip-resistant properties remain effective even in areas exposed to grease, water, and food byproducts. 6. Fast Installation and Minimal Downtime Food processing plants cannot afford extended downtime due to flooring repairs or replacements. Urethane cement flooring offers a relatively quick installation process, with some formulations allowing for a rapid return to service. This means minimal disruption to production schedules and lower labor costs compared to traditional flooring replacements. Compliance with Food Safety Regulations Regulatory agencies such as the USDA, FDA, and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) have strict flooring requirements to prevent contamination and ensure food safety. Urethane cement meets or exceeds these regulations, making it a preferred choice for facilities that must maintain compliance with industry standards.

Polyaspartic Garage Floor Coatings: Elevate Your Space with Style

Transform Your Garage Floor with a Durable Concrete Coating Do you seek an effective strategy for improving your garage flooring? If you’re tired of looking at stained, cracked, and unappealing concrete, a durable concrete coating from Revival Concrete Coatings can provide the perfect solution. Transforming your garage floor with our high-quality coatings not only enhances its appearance but also improves its functionality and longevity. At Revival, our typical process is to provide a polyurea basecoat and polyaspartic topcoat. That said, depending on the condition of the concrete or customer preferences, we are able to provide a full polyaspartic system (base coat and top coat). Alternatively, some floors require a moisture vapor barrier epoxy that we will test and recommend to customers dealing with moisture issues or flooding. In this case, we will use a moisture vapor barrier epoxy basecoat and a polyaspartic topcoat. Here’s why a concrete coating is the upgrade your garage needs. 1. Unmatched Durability Garage floors take a beating from heavy vehicles, tools, and equipment, not to mention exposure to chemicals and spills. Our concrete coatings are designed to withstand these harsh conditions. They offer exceptional resistance to impacts, abrasions, and chemical damage, ensuring your garage floor remains in pristine condition for years.

Decorative flakes or metallic pigments can also be added for a unique, eye-catching appearance. 3. Easy Maintenance Maintaining a clean and attractive garage floor is simple with our concrete coatings. The smooth, non-porous surface prevents dirt, dust, and spills from penetrating the floor, making cleanup quick and easy. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping are usually all that’s needed to keep your floor looking its best. This ease of maintenance allows you to spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your garage. 4. Quick and Efficient Installation At Revival Concrete Coatings, we understand that your time is valuable. Our efficient installation process means that your garage floor can be transformed in as little as one day.

It’s a smart investment that pays off whether you plan to stay in your home for years to come or sell in the near future. 6. Superior Protection Our concrete coatings provide a superior level of protection for your garage floor. They are designed to be UV-resistant, preventing the floor from fading or yellowing over time. Additionally, the coatings form a protective barrier that shields the concrete from moisture, reducing the risk of cracks and other damage caused by freeze-thaw cycles. 7. Safety Features Safety is another important consideration when upgrading your garage floor.

How To Find a Reliable Floor Coatings Installer

How to Find the Right Concrete Flooring Contractor for Your Project When it comes to upgrading your garage, basement, or commercial space with durable and attractive concrete flooring, choosing the right contractor is essential. A high-quality installation can enhance both the aesthetics and longevity of your floor, while a poor installation can lead to costly repairs down the road. Here’s how to find a reliable concrete flooring contractor to ensure your project is a success. Even if you’re looking for a different option than coatings, we would love to help you get connected with the right contact in the flooring space. At Revival Concrete Coatings, a customer-first approach is the right thing to do, which is why we offer transparent warranties, high quality products, and license and certify every single one of our technicians. You can reach us at 515-850-7192. 1. Look for Experience and Expertise Not all concrete flooring contractors have the same level of experience. Look for a company that specializes in concrete coatings and has a proven track record. Ask how long they’ve been in business and request examples of their past work. A contractor with expertise in polyaspartic, epoxy, and other coatings will be able to recommend the best solution for your needs. 2. Check Reviews and References Customer feedback is a great way to gauge the quality of a contractor’s work. Read online reviews on Google, Facebook, and other platforms to see what past clients have to say. Additionally, ask the contractor for references so you can speak directly with previous customers about their experiences. 3. Verify Licensing and Insurance A reputable contractor should be properly licensed and insured. This protects you from liability in case of accidents and ensures the company meets industry standards. Don’t hesitate to ask for proof of insurance and licensing before hiring a contractor. 4. Get a Detailed Estimate Reliable contractors provide clear, detailed estimates that outline the scope of work, materials, timeline, and cost. Be wary of vague estimates or contractors who demand large upfront payments. Compare quotes from multiple contractors to ensure you’re getting a fair price. 5. Ask About the Installation Process Understanding the installation process will help you prepare for the project. Ask about the steps involved, the estimated completion time, and how they handle surface preparation. Proper preparation is key to ensuring a long-lasting and durable concrete coating. 6. Look for Warranty and Aftercare Support A trustworthy contractor should stand behind their work with a warranty. Ask about their warranty coverage and what it includes. Also, inquire about recommended maintenance to keep your new floor looking great for years to come. 7. Evaluate Their Customer Service Good communication is essential for a smooth project. Pay attention to how the contractor responds to your inquiries—are they prompt, knowledgeable, and professional? A contractor who values customer service will be easier to work with throughout the project. Conclusion Finding the right concrete flooring contractor requires research and careful consideration. By evaluating experience, checking reviews, verifying credentials, and understanding the installation process, you can ensure you choose a contractor who will deliver high-quality results. Investing in the right professional will provide you with a durable and attractive concrete floor that enhances your space for years to come.

Polyurea Garage Floor Coating
Concrete Coatings

Polyurea Garage Floor Coating: Why It’s the Better Choice

Why Polyurea Garage Floor Coatings Outperform Epoxy  When it comes to upgrading your garage floors, many homeowners default to epoxy coatings. While epoxy has long been a popular choice, it’s not necessarily the best option. If you think all concrete coatings are the same, think again! Concrete is durable, but it’s not indestructible. Choosing the right coating can significantly impact the longevity, safety, and overall functionality of your garage. At Revival Concrete Coatings, we specialize in premium solutions that stand the test of time, and we’re here to explain why polyurea garage floor coatings are the superior choice. There are some instances, such as when a moisture vapor barrier (MVB) is required that an epoxy coating will be appropriate, but not all epoxies were created equal. Polyurea vs. Epoxy: Understanding the Differences Before making a decision, it’s essential to understand the key differences between polyurea and epoxy coatings. Epoxy Coatings: Epoxy is a synthetic resin made of polymer compounds that bond to the surface of concrete. It’s known for its glossy finish and decorative appearance, but it has limitations when it comes to durability and resistance to wear and tear. Polyurea Coatings: Polyurea is derived from polyurethane and is one of the most durable and flexible coatings available. Unlike epoxy, it’s highly resistant to cracks, chips, stains, and moisture, making it the ideal choice for garage floors. Why Polyurea May Be the Better Choice for Your Garage Floor If you want a garage floor coating that not only looks great but also provides long-term durability and performance, polyurea is usually the winner. Here’s why: 1. Superior Durability Your garage floor takes a beating—from vehicle weight and heavy equipment to oil spills and daily wear. Unlike epoxy, which can become brittle and prone to cracking over time, polyurea remains flexible and impact-resistant. This means it won’t chip, peel, or fade, even under heavy use. Whether you’re parking your car, working on DIY projects, or storing heavy items, polyurea will hold up without showing signs of damage. 2. Moisture and Stain Resistance One of the biggest drawbacks of epoxy is its porous nature, which makes it susceptible to moisture damage and staining. Polyurea, on the other hand, is non-porous, meaning it won’t absorb spills, water, or chemicals. This makes cleaning up messes effortless—whether it’s oil, paint, or mud, you can simply wipe it away without worrying about permanent stains or water damage. Unless the epoxy is a moisture vapor barrier epoxy, polyurea will outperform. We always test for moisture in the concrete during our consultation and before installation, so we will be able to consult on whether a moisture vapor barrier epoxy or polyaspartic basecoat will be most appropriate. 3. Faster Installation & Quick Cure Time If you’re looking for a quick and efficient installation process, polyurea is the way to go. Unlike epoxy, which can take several days to fully cure, polyurea coatings cure in just 24 hours. This means you can get back to using your garage sooner without long wait times. 4. Enhanced Safety with Slip-Resistance Garages can be hazardous areas, with potential risks from spills, falling objects, or slick surfaces. Polyurea coatings provide better traction and slip resistance compared to epoxy, reducing the risk of accidents. With its built-in texture, polyurea helps keep your garage safe for your family and guests. 5. Weather & UV Resistance If your garage is exposed to extreme temperatures or sunlight, epoxy can fade and yellow over time. Polyurea, however, is UV-resistant and can withstand harsh weather conditions without deteriorating. This makes it an excellent choice for garages, driveways, and even outdoor spaces. Transform Your Garage with Revival Concrete Coatings At Revival Concrete Coatings, we take pride in delivering high-quality, long-lasting concrete coating solutions to homeowners in the Greater Des Moines area. With over five years of experience, we’ve helped countless homeowners enhance their garages, basements, patios, and commercial spaces with our industry-leading polyurea coatings.

How a Pool Deck Coating Can Revive Your Space

So, you bought a home with a pool and are trying to figure out what to do with it. A pool deck coating is one of the many ways that you can revive a worn-out and unappealing space. Everyone loves the idea of a gorgeous outdoor oasis with a pool. However, what many fail to realize is how much work is put into making that space look its best. If you are looking for a way to make a significant impact on the appearance of your pool area, consider pool deck coating. What Is Pool Deck Coating? Installing a pool deck coating is not a complex process. In fact, it is what you would imagine when hearing those three words together. Coating your pool deck consists of applying a more durable and smooth coating on the deck surface instead of digging up the original material and starting over. While epoxy coatings are popular among homeowners, there are a few better options. At Revival Concrete Coatings, we use polyurea and polyaspartic coatings to maintain the appeal of epoxy while adding value. How Can Pool Deck Coating Benefit My Space? There are a number of reasons why you might be interested in coating your pool deck. Here are a few reasons why you won’t regret that choice. Comfort Not only will the slip-resistance of the material give you peace of mind that your family and guests are safe, but polyurea coatings are easier on bare feet for those hot summer days. There is no worse feeling than stepping out of the pool onto a scorching hot floor. Revival Concrete Coatings offers epoxy alternatives that are up to 15 degrees cooler. A pool deck coating also offers a textured surface that reduces the chances of slipping and falling. This is especially an advantage in an area that surrounds water. Appearance Pool deck coatings do not have to have dull, concrete-looking finishes. Without sacrificing safety and comfort, you have the option to choose a glossy finish. You also have several color schemes, designs, and flakes to choose from. The overall look of your backyard oasis does not have to be sacrificed when you decide to coat your pool deck. Cost A pool deck coating is not only stylish, but it is also cost-effective. Rather than digging up your entire deck surface, a new layer of coating is all you need to revitalize your space. This option saves homeowners more than half the cost of redoing the entire deck. Instead, that money can be put towards more home improvement projects or whatever else you choose. Revive Your Space With Revival Concrete Coatings in Iowa! At Revival Concrete Coatings, we offer a variety of concrete coating services. Whether you are considering coating your garage or your pool deck, we’ve got you covered. For many years, our concrete coating experts have been servicing residents of the Greater Des Moines, Iowa, area. Contact us today for a free quote. Let us transform your home into a space you love.
