Concrete floors are bound to crack over time. They cure, and then they settle, sometimes resulting in a cracked surface or slab.

Once a crack exists, it can be worsened by other routine activities and common events. Things like moisture seeping into the cracks, exposure to oils or chemicals that contaminate or corrode the floor, poor cleaning due to existing cracks, and vehicles driving over the cracked surfaces will all aggravate cracks in a concrete floor.

There are many reasons why concrete floors crack. The important thing is that when it happens, you know what you should and should not do. 

Don't you hate it when you don't have all of the facts? What's even worse is when you ask a question to get the facts, and then you get a roundabout answer that doesn't really answer the question.

We hate that, too — which is why we always try to be direct with our customers at CPC Floor Coatings. We want you to not only have accurate information, but also complete information. That's why we're sharing four facts that are often withheld from customers on the hunt for floor coatings.

Concrete flooring isn't just for industrial facilities, factories, and home improvement stores. When polished, concrete floors take on a glass-like appearance that not only looks beautiful, but also holds up to things like foot traffic — even high heels and pet claws!

Think of the hard work people put in when they go to the gym and exercise. There's a lot of lifting, pressing, pulling, pushing, and striding that goes into a full-body workout. All that work impacts the body. It may exhaust it temporarily, but eventually, these activities strengthen it. That's why people keep going back to the gym.

Now think of a gym floor. It endures the same activities, but a floor cannot be expected to go through a process of strengthening while it is being used. It must already be strong enough to hold up to the activity placed upon it. Better yet, a good gym floor will not only withstand the toll gym enthusiasts take on it — it will actually support their endeavors.

Epoxy is great for gym floors because it does just that. Don't just take our word for it, though. Let's look at all the things your gym floors experience on a daily basis, and you'll quickly understand why epoxy gym floors are an ideal solution.

If something is supposedly durable or long-lasting, you want to know what it is about the product that makes it so. Otherwise, you might be skeptical of the validity of such claims.

In today's article, we're explaining exactly what it is about urethane cement that provides all of the benefits you've heard about. Let's dive in. 

It's no surprise that cows are a dairy farmer's main concern. After all, if dairy farming is your livelihood, then it's important to take care of the animals that produce the main ingredient of all dairy products.

However, cows are not the only essential part of an effective and efficient dairy farm. Flooring is a major component. The right flooring can lay the groundwork for successful farming, and consequently, the wrong flooring can introduce serious problems to your farming.
