5 Types Of Coatings For Government Buildings

If you’re looking for a job as a government contractor, your buildings must be in check. If they aren’t, you might have trouble getting paid and potentially lose out on future projects. That’s why it’s important to be aware of the different coatings for government buildings and their pros and cons.

Urethane

Urethane is one of the most popular types of coating used today, and with good reason. This coating provides excellent durability and protection against weather elements such as rain, snow, wind, sleet, and hail. Urethane works best in areas where there will be a lot of foot traffic (such as schools or hospitals) because it’s non-skid material that keeps people from slipping on wet surfaces.

Red Oxide Primer

Another option for government buildings is red oxide primer paint, which can protect against rusting metals like steel beams or pipes within your facility’s walls/ceilings/floors/doors etc… Red oxide primer also looks great when applied over metal surfaces! This type does tend to chip off eventually but has been known to last 30 years before needing replacement!

Epoxy

Epoxy is a two-part system, meaning it requires the mixing of two separate compounds that are then applied to the surface. Epoxy is a hard and durable finish, making it ideal for exterior applications such as steel or concrete structures. It can also be used for interior applications such as floors and walls to create an anti-slip flooring surface or on metal surfaces to prevent corrosion.

Epoxy is not recommended for use in areas with high humidity because the curing process occurs through water evaporation, which would not occur at consistent levels in these areas (meaning you’d have to keep reapplying your coating).

Concrete Sealing and Resurfacing

Concrete sealing and resurfacing can be used to protect against water damage and protect and restore interior or exterior concrete surfaces. It can also be used to clean and prepare a new surface for concrete.

Concrete sealing helps keep your building safe from the elements by preventing water from getting into cracks in the surface, which can cause deterioration over time. This will help you avoid costly repairs down the road.

Because of its durability and strength, concrete is often used as an exterior wall material in many commercial buildings. But this makes it susceptible to damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet light and extreme temperatures—like when you park under an overhang or leave your car outside during a heat wave (which we all know happens quite frequently). Concrete sealant protects against these types of damages so that your building stays looking its best for years into the future!

Anti-Slip Coatings

Anti-slip coatings are used to reduce the risk of slips and falls. They’re often applied to high-traffic areas, like hallways or stairwells. Anti-slip coating can be applied to various surfaces, including floors and stairs.

In addition to reducing the risk of injury, anti-slip coatings also help create an aesthetically pleasing appearance by making floors look like tile or stone instead of being exposed to concrete or metal.

There are many different types of coatings for government buildings, so it’s important to know which one is best for your project.
