How long does spray resin last?

A spray resin floor lasts 20 to 25 years. Shieldcoat backs it with a 7 year manufacturer’s warranty against cracking, flaking and peeling, it’s fade proof, and it needs a touch up every 6 years.

What does the warranty cover?

The 7 year manufacturer’s warranty covers cracking, flaking and peeling under normal use and conditions. It’s on Step Safe Heavy Duty, the spray resin system. Step Safe Roll On has its own, shorter warranty.

How often does spray resin need a touch up?

Every 6 years. A fresh clear coat of Concreshield Clear Low Sheen keeps the floor looking right. In between, a soft wash every so often is all it needs.

What makes it last

The 20 to 25 years only happens when the job is done right. These are the rules I never bend, on any job:

1. The golden rule. Concrete at least 28 days old and under 6% moisture before anything goes on.
2. Never coat brick pavers on a sand base, or outdoor tiles.
3. Never seal on the same day. The base coats must cure completely, or moisture gets trapped and the seal clouds.
4. Respect the cure. Rain safe once it’s fully touch dry. Foot traffic after 24 hours. Cars after 7 to 10 days, and no turning wheels on the spot for 4 weeks. Full cure takes 28 days.

Every one of those is a floor that fails months later if it’s ignored. They’re what we drill on day one of the spray resin workshop, and what we check for when we certify installers.
