Concrete Painting: Why Resin-Based Coatings Outperform “Epoxy Paint”

At Epoxy Flooring Bunbury, we redefine “concrete painting” by using superior resin-based coatings instead of traditional paints. Our approach ensures durability and longevity, addressing the common failings of conventional paint when applied to concrete surfaces.

The Downfalls of Traditional Concrete Paint

Traditional paint, while popular for its initial aesthetic appeal and ease of application, often fails to meet the demands of concrete surfaces. Here’s why paint is not ideal for concrete:

  • Poor Adhesion: Paint often fails to bond effectively with concrete, leading to peeling and flaking over time. This poor adhesion is exacerbated by the porous nature of concrete, which can contain residual moisture and air pockets.
  • Vulnerability to Abrasion and Traffic: Painted surfaces are not equipped to handle heavy foot traffic or abrasion, leading to wear and tear that quickly degrades the paint layer.
  • Moisture Damage: Paint can trap moisture beneath its layer, which leads to blistering and peeling. Additionally, moisture from above, such as pooling water, can easily penetrate paint, leading to further deterioration.
  • Progressive Delamination: Once paint begins to lift from the concrete surface, the problem often worsens progressively. The only remedy is complete removal of the paint, typically through costly methods like diamond grinding, before a more durable solution is applied. 

The Superiority of Resin-Based Coatings

Choosing resin-based coatings from Epoxy Flooring Bunbury means opting for a solution designed to bond permanently with concrete. Here’s how our resin-based coatings stand out:

  • Exceptional Bonding: Our high-strength resins penetrate the concrete surface, creating a chemical bond that integrates the coating into the substrate. This bond is far superior to the superficial adherence of traditional paint.
  • Durability Against Wear: Resin-based coatings are formulated to withstand high traffic, impacts, and abrasion, making them ideal for commercial and industrial environments.
  • Moisture Resistance: Unlike paint, our resin coatings create a moisture-resistant barrier that prevents water ingress from above and below, safeguarding the surface from water-induced damage.
  • Long-term Solution: Resin coatings do not delaminate like paint. They provide a durable, long-lasting surface that remains intact, preserving both its functionality and aesthetic appeal over the years. 

Our Commitment to Quality

At Epoxy Flooring Bunbury, we commit to using only the highest quality materials and application techniques. Our resin-based coatings are not only a preventive measure but a cost-effective investment, saving substantial time and resources on future maintenance and repairs.
