How fast can flooring be installed? This is a commonly asked question by homeowners and businesses everywhere. The answer, of course, varies from project to project. Generally speaking, it takes less time to apply concrete floor coatings than it does to construct a brand new floor. That said, some floor coatings take longer to install and cure than others. Most people prefer solutions that don’t eat up too much time without sacrificing long-lasting results. Fortunately, there are flooring solutions out there that only take about 24 hours to complete. Here are our top tips for achieving this highly-sought-after one day flooring installation for your home or business.

Clear Out the Area Beforehand

Fresh floor coatings can only be applied once the floor itself is available and properly prepped. As such, you’ll need to remove and move certain features, thoroughly clean your floors, and make minor repairs before anything else. Some floor coating services will handle some of this prep work, but the more you can do prior to their arrival, the speedier the process will be. Sure, it might take a day or two to completely prepare your flooring for new coatings, but the coating project itself may only take a day from start to finish.

Select the Right Concrete Floor Coatings

If you’re committed to achieving one day flooring installation, understand that not all floor coatings can be installed this quickly. Standard epoxy coatings, for example, can take several days (sometimes weeks) to cure, rendering your floor out of commission for longer than you’d like. Polyurea floor coatings, on the other hand, can be installed much quicker without prolonged cure times. At Anderson Painting, our flooring specialists primarily install Penntek polyurea concrete coatings. Though Penntek coatings come in a variety of styles and systems, many of them can be installed in just one day – their “One Day Garage Coating” is a perfect example of this.

Hire Experienced Flooring Professionals

The quality of your commercial or residential concrete floor coatings isn’t the only factor that contributes to the time it takes to install them. Not only must you choose solutions designed for one day installation (like Penntek polyurea coatings) – you must also work with an installation company that knows how to properly implement these coating systems. While Penntek coatings offer little downtime, the speed with which these coatings cure leaves little room for error. Attempting to install these coatings on your own can quickly result in a costly mess that requires days of undoing. The best and fastest solution for flooring installation, then, requires hiring experienced professionals like Anderson Painting who know the ins and outs of the flooring system at hand.
