Try using house paint in a commercial application—a playground or parking garage, for example—and you’ll quickly find out why it’s a bad idea. Your average house paint just isn’t built for the wear and tear of commercial structures. That’s where industrial coatings come in.

When concrete starts crumbling, trouble follows—especially in a commercial building.

Concrete is durable, but there are limits. Old or badly-maintained concrete can have issues that go further than just a minor surface repair—you might need to do some structural repairs.
