By applying concrete coatings, you create optimal layers for concrete that not only protect and enhance but also provide additional properties as desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What are the possibilities in this regard? And what factors come into play when choosing surface treatments for concrete? <em>Read on to find out more<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing the right concrete coating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Several factors are decisive in selecting the right coatings for concrete. The key questions to ask yourself during the selection process are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What is the surface condition of the concrete to be coated?<\/li><li>What usage conditions will the concrete floor be exposed to?<\/li><li>Which aesthetic features &#8211; such as color, gloss level, and effects &#8211; are important for the final concrete finish?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Many possibilities with concrete surface treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot is possible in terms of surface treatment for concrete. These are the main reasons to choose it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Substantial extension of the lifespan;<\/li><li>Improved resistance to chemical attack;<\/li><li>Enhancement of your concrete business object(s);<\/li><li>Protection against liquid penetration;<\/li><li>Provision of heat- or cold-resistant properties;<\/li><li>Change in surface conductivity concerning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.him.nl\/en\/this-makes-esd-coatings-indispensable-on-a-cleanroom-floor\/\">electricity<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get advice on the right preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing your existing concrete floor with a surface treatment usually requires thorough preparation. Factors to consider before application include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Rectifying any unevenness. <\/strong>Coatings typically have a thickness of only a few tens of microns. Any irregularities will not be concealed by this thin layer. Therefore, have the concrete floor leveled if there are irregularities and\/or height differences;<\/li><li><strong>Creating good environmental conditions. <\/strong>Water-based concrete coatings benefit from a good drying process. Ensure that the relative humidity indoors or outdoors does not exceed 80%.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.him.nl\/en\/coating-a-concrete-floor-what-should-i-pay-attention-to-7-tips\/\">In this article, you will find five additional tips for an optimal result.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The precise preparations vary depending on the concrete coating. HIM is happy to advise you on the desired and\/or necessary preparations that apply to your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variety in application methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Surface layers can be applied in various ways, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Roller<\/li><li>Brush<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure proper mixing of the product, avoid exceeding the product&#8217;s processing time, and apply the product in an even thickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Attention with roller application<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When opting for <em>rolling<\/em>, additional advice applies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Cross-rolling yields the best end result. This reduces the risk of irregular structure and appearance;<\/li><li>Make connections with previously applied strips while the coating is still wet to prevent visible roller marks.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reliable quality surface treatment for concrete<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At HIM, you&#8217;ll find sustainable surface treatments for concrete of very reliable quality and long lifespan.
