Professional Polyurea Floor Coating Installation in Minnesota
Home » Professional Polyurea Floor Coating Installation in Minnesota
While concrete flooring is already functional and durable, the right coating will enhance its appearance, durability and longevity. We only offer the best at BlackHawk Garage Door, and that’s polyurea floor coating.
Polyurea offers a superior way to mend chipped, cracked and uneven concrete — or to coat new surfaces and prolong their lifespan from the start. It also creates an impenetrable barrier against moisture. We install this premium concrete floor coating for homes and businesses in Minnesota.
About Polyurea Floor Coatings
Polyurea floor coatings are different from paint and epoxy. Paint is not designed for heavy-duty use, even if it’s specifically labeled as garage floor paint. It stains and peels easily. Epoxy can yellow with prolonged UV exposure and become brittle in extreme temperatures. It offers some protection but doesn’t have the elasticity to accommodate concrete’s expansion, contraction and relative movement as the foundation settles.
Polyurea combines durability and flexibility. This coating is 98% more flexible than epoxy and won’t chip, crack, split or peel in the cold weather conditions Minnesota homes and businesses face each winter. It’s also resistant to damage from road salts.

The Benefits of Polyurea Floor Coating Installation
A few advantages of polyurea floor coating include:
Cost savings: The primary benefit of polyurea is that it extends the lifespan of concrete surfaces. By resisting cracks, chips and spills, it can save you money on repairs and replacement in the long term.
Resilience: Polyurea is waterproof and resistant to chemicals. It’s also UV-stable, meaning it will maintain its appearance without yellowing over time. Unlike other floor coatings, polyurea doesn’t require regular resealing or recoating.
Aesthetics: Polyurea floor coating comes in solid colors or with chips to add a patterned finish. Whether you’re updating a commercial space where branded colors matter or looking to complement the aesthetic of your home, we have an option for you.
Antimicrobial properties: Polyurea is antimicrobial and antibacterial. These qualities make it especially ideal for commercial spaces like hospitals and restaurants.
Safety: The slip-resistant aggregate helps minimize the risk of falls, which is important for areas that are exposed to moisture, like pool decks or commercial kitchens.
Simple maintenance: Maintaining a polyurea-coated floor is as simple as sweeping the surface, rinsing it and using a squeegee to remove water. For a deeper clean, you can mop with a solvent-based concentrate. Avoid acidic and corrosive materials and long-term exposure to bleach.
While polyurea coating is popular for garage floors, it’s beneficial for any concrete surface. You can use it to upgrade residential spaces inside and out, including:
Garages: Polyurea garage floor coating can withstand the weight of vehicles without cracking or chipping. It’s also impact-resistant, making it ideal for garages where tools and heavy items may occasionally fall.
Sheds: Polyurea coating protects against moisture and humidity, preventing damage and mold growth. It’s also resistant to wear from tools, equipment and heavy items stored in sheds.
Laundry rooms: Polyurea resists staining from laundry detergent spills and creates a seamless surface that’s easy to clean and maintain.
Basements: In spaces prone to moisture and flooding, a waterproof floor coating is essential. Polyurea installation reduces the risk of mold and mildew growth, promoting a healthier environment.
Patios: Durable polyurea floor coating withstands extreme temperatures and UV exposure without fading or cracking, and it resists scratches and damage from moving patio furniture.
Sidewalks: Walkways endure heavy foot traffic and various weather conditions, making polyurea coating ideal. It’s durable and resists stains from dirt, oil and most chemicals.
Home workout rooms: Polyurea coating withstands heavy equipment and impacts from weights or exercise routines. Plus, the smooth surface makes it easier to clean sweat and spills.
Pool surrounds: When slip resistance is essential, polyurea delivers. It’s waterproof and protects surfaces from chlorine and other pool chemicals that can cause deterioration over time.
Restaurants: Polyurea resists scratches, stains and heavy foot traffic, making it the perfect choice for busy restaurant environments. It’s easy to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of food contamination, and it’s available in multiple colors and finishes to enhance the ambience.
Auto shops: Auto shops need flooring that can resist damage from oil and grease. Polyurea delivers — and it can withstand heavy equipment and tools without chipping or cracking.
Car dealerships: Polyurea floor coating offers a glossy finish that enhances any showroom’s aesthetic, and it’s durable enough to handle the weight of vehicles and heavy foot traffic.
Airplane hangars: Polyurea is highly load-bearing and can withstand the weight of aircraft and heavy machinery. It’s also resistant to oils, aviation fuels and chemicals that hangar floors are often exposed to.
Hospitals: Antimicrobial polyurea coating creates a seamless, nonporous surface that prevents bacterial growth and withstands harsh disinfectants and cleaning agents. It also resists heavy foot traffic in busy hospital environments.
Places of worship: Polyurea floor coating simplifies cleaning and upkeep, allowing for a more welcoming environment in churches and other places of worship. It’s also customizable to fit the space’s design and decor.
Warehouses: Polyurea coating protects against spills from various materials and substances common in warehouses. It’s slip-resistant and able to support heavy loads from pallets and equipment.
Retail locations: A polyurea-coated floor withstands heavy foot traffic and moving displays. It’s quick to clean and available in various colors and styles to match the retail environment.
Barns and kennels: After curing, polyurea is nontoxic and safe for animals. Seamless surfaces are easy to sanitize, and they prevent the buildup of bacteria.

If you want to learn more, we’ve put together answers to some of the most common questions about polyurea floor coatings:
Can Polyurea Floor Coatings Withstand Welding?
The only things that floor coatings may not be able to withstand are welding and anything that can result in very hot substances touching the floor. Burn marks can be created.
My Garage Floor Is Always Damp! Will This Help?
It depends. If your garage floor has a moisture issue, it is possible for the rate of moisture vapor transmission from underneath the slab to delaminate the polyurea. BlackHawk can bring a moisture reader to your area and determine if polyurea garage floor coating can help this issue.
But What About Hot Tires After They’ve Been On the Road?
Lesser quality coatings like epoxy paint can be affected, but a quality commercial polyurea floor coating can resist the heat from the tires.
How Do I Clean My Polyurea Floor?
Our polyurea floor coatings are easy to clean and maintain:
Remove sand and salt with a broom. Rinse with water and use a squeegee to remove excess.
Use our solvent-based LGX-501 floor cleaner. It is a liquid concentrate formulated specifically to work with our polyurea coatings. Mix with warm water for sparkling clean floors.
You can also use an 8:1 ratio of Simple Green, CLR, Pine Sol, or Dawn in a spray bottle and a bucket of hot water. Deep clean with ½ cup of ammonia added to a gallon of hot water. Apply the mixture with the sponge mop, rinsing the mop often.
If fluids spill onto the floor, spot clean with a soft cloth. If the spill leaves a film, wipe it with a window cleaning solution. For tough stains, leave the cleaner on the floor for five to 10 minutes, then scrub using a stiff-bristle broom or brush.
Vacuum out saw cuts and contraction joints at least once a month, or just use a broom to keep the debris out.
Can Polyurea Be Installed Over Old Coatings or Damaged Concrete?
Proper preparation is the key to installing polyurea on old or damaged floors. Epoxy and paint must be removed, and any repairs need to be made before the polyurea coating is installed. At BlackHawk Garage Door, filling and repairing imperfections in the concrete is part of our standard process.
How Does Weather Affect Installation?
Unlike epoxy and many other coatings, polyurea can be installed in a wide range of weather conditions and temperatures. Its ability to cure rapidly means it can be installed during Minnesota’s cold winters and hot summers. High humidity and moisture can impact adhesion, so installers usually check the concrete for moisture before they begin.
