Built to Last

When it comes to concrete floor coatings, durability isn’t just about toughness—it’s also about how a surface wears over time. Many coatings look good on day one, but develop unsightly scratches, discoloration, and even bacterial buildup after regular use. That’s why at Rock Solid Surfacing, we specialize in advanced polyaspartic/polyurea coatings—not just because they’re strong, but because they’re engineered to resist the kind of microscopic damage that compromises cleanliness, safety, and appearance.

So, what makes polyurea coatings the smart long-term investment for garages, commercial kitchens, warehouses, and medical facilities across Colorado? It comes down to scratch resistance and surface integrity.

Frayed vs. Straight Microscratches: Why It Matters

All floor coatings will eventually develop some degree of micro-abrasion from foot traffic, wheels, cleaning tools, and daily wear. But not all scratches are created equal.

Traditional coatings like epoxy often develop frayed microscratches—tiny, torn edges that act like traps for dirt, moisture, and bacteria. These scratches not only make the floor look dull and dirty over time, but they also create unhygienic conditions. This is especially problematic in spaces like kitchens, vet clinics, and medical facilities where cleanliness is non-negotiable.

Our polyaspartic/polyurea coatings, on the other hand, are formulated with engineered elongation and tightly bonded polymers that produce straight-edged microscratches instead of frayed ones. These straighter scratches don’t trap grime in the same way, making it much easier to clean the floor and maintain its clarity and brightness.

Protecting Air Quality and Reducing Bacterial Growth

Those frayed scratches found in epoxy and other conventional coatings can contribute to poor air quality. As moisture seeps into the frays and becomes trapped, it creates an environment conducive to mold and bacterial growth—especially in high-humidity environments or concrete floors with underlying moisture pressure.

Rock Solid Surfacing’s polyurea coatings help mitigate these issues. Their dense molecular structure prevents moisture from penetrating the surface, reducing the relative humidity above the floor and limiting bacterial and fungal proliferation.

For facilities that house people, food, or animals, this is a critical difference. It’s one reason our coatings are especially popular in dog kennels, commercial kitchens, and healthcare environments—places where clean floors equal safe conditions.

Easier Cleaning = Lower Maintenance Costs

Because our polyurea coatings resist dirt and bacteria buildup, they require less aggressive cleaning. Instead of constant mopping or scrubbing with harsh chemicals, most floors can be kept spotless using a neoprene squeegee, broom, and a mild ammonia solution.



This not only saves time and labor—it also extends the life of the floor and protects your investment. And since our coatings are VOC-free, they don’t introduce harmful fumes during application or maintenance.

Long-Term Durability Backed by Expertise

At Rock Solid Surfacing, we don’t just install floor coatings—we restore, prepare, and protect your concrete from the ground up. Every project starts with comprehensive surface grinding, eliminating high and low spots and opening up the pores of the concrete to ensure optimal adhesion. Once applied, our polyurea base coat actually soaks into the surface, forming a permanent bond that won’t chip, peel, or delaminate like weaker coatings can.

This means your flooring system is not only more resistant to scratches, but also more resistant to time.
