Helping facilities improve the appearance, protect, and prolong the life of flooring investments with protective CareGuard floor coatings & restorative polishing solutions.

Extend the life of your floors with CareGuard protective coatings

While deep cleaning, restoration, and maintenance are essential for extending the lifespan of your commercial building's surfaces, our innovative CareGuard coatings are the final vital layer of protection your hard floors and surfaces need to stay looking beautiful for longer.

Protective floor coatings are sustainable solutions that look amazing, are easy to maintain, and reduce operational expenses. They can also change the characteristics of your flooring in terms of finish, durability, static dissipation, and anti-slip protection.

Commercial floor coatings can be added to:

  • Tile & grout
  • Terrazzo
  • Exposed Concrete
  • Resilient
  • Wood

“It’s crazy; it’s been four years since the restoration, and the floors still look day-one fresh. Thank you!”
— Director of Facility Operations

It's common for coatings to be applied to older flooring that has seen better days to help revive the floor's appearance and improve its performance.

Performance coatings can also be applied to new flooring to proactively lengthen the lifespan of the flooring and make the floor easier to care for and keep clean.

Preserve. Prolong. Protect.

CareGuard protective coatings and finishes are a great alternative to acrylic wax coatings, as they’re more sustainable, durable, easier to clean, and give you flexibility in the final finish of your hard surfaces. Whether you want a glossy or matte finish, include an anti-slip additive, or add a colorant (only available for concrete surfaces), we have a range of quality options to suit your needs and budget.

Rough, scratched, and uncoated surfaces can give your visitors a bad impression of your company.

CareGuard Premium is your long-term tile and grout sanitation and maintenance solution. When grime and bacterial growth build up in your grout and your restroom tiles lose their luster, it can seriously harm your brand reputation and provide a poor experience for your visitors and team members.

Our CareGuard Premium coating becomes a part of your restroom’s surface, bonding to your commercial floor to add a highly durable, protective, and antimicrobial layer that reduces bacteria, mold, mildew, and discoloration build-up. It’s a breeze to clean, minimizes odors, extends the lifespan of restroom surfaces, and eliminates the need for continual waxing and buffing.

Frequently Asked Floor Coating Questions

If you want your surface investments to stand the test of time, look good for longer, and resist wear and tear, then a protective coating is your best option in most cases.

Your floor may not need a protective coating because the current coating is still in good condition. 

We are happy to discuss your current situation and recommend options within your budget that will make your floors look amazing.

System performance timespan and durability depend on the quality of the coating, expertise of the application, wear and tear of the location, and the level of care or neglect the surface receives after application. 

Our top-of-the-line coating can last up to 60 months or more with one of our customized maintenance plans. 

Sealers penetrate the surface and impregnate the pores of the floor to create a barrier against stains, dirt, and grease build-up. In contrast, coatings are an overlay over the entire floor surface. Our premium coating covalently bonds with the surface to make it impervious to dirt and bacteria. Coatings come in a range of thicknesses and finishes to provide a long-lasting antimicrobial protective barrier.

It depends on the situation, concrete floor condition, desired outcome, and budget.

We can polish concrete floors with diamond honing equipment and buff them to a polished shine. But that is more expensive and requires a lot of maintenance upkeep. That is one of the reasons many surface care companies prefer to offer hone and polishing as the best and only solution for concrete.

Hone and polish may be the right choice for the situation, and it may not. However, it's probably right for the provider's bottom line.

Trying to decide what solution is best for your flooring is where turning to a trusted advisor pays off. We offer the facility and property manager the best solution for this situation, budget, and goals.

Adding a semi-permanent coating on the concrete floor allows you to eliminate a lot of the maintenance requirements, get the shine level you desire, you can use green cleaners, and avoid harsh chemicals.

One application of Care Guard Premium can last up to 60 months; we've seen it last even longer when the floor is properly maintained.

Enabling your floors, fabrics, and finishes to live long and prosper.
