According to The Concrete Network, “The term "coating" is often used broadly to refer to just about any liquid or semi-solid material applied to cured concrete, including cement-based toppings and overlays, paints, and epoxy-aggregate systems.”

The guide separates coatings into three main categories: epoxy coatings, polyaspartic coatings and special effects coatings. Within each category is an even further breakdown of coating variations and the benefits and limitations that each coating offers for different floor types, including those best for commercial installations and residential.
