What Are The Advantages Of Choosing High-quality Coating Products?

Floors take a beating—from sun and snow to hot tires, acid spills, and daily wear—and the wrong coating turns that stress into peeling, yellowing, and costly do-overs. We sat down with David Nanninga, president of Mile High Coatings, to pull back the curtain on what really makes a floor last: solids content, film build, UV stability, and careful surface preparation. If you’ve ever wondered why a DIY kit looks great on day one but flakes by year two, or why epoxy blushes and ambers outside, this conversation gives you the clear, no-spin answers.

We explore the science in plain language. David explains how 90–95% solids base and top coats leave far more protection on the slab than lower-solids options, improving bond strength, impact resistance, and consistency. We map the right chemistry to the right setting: epoxy for interior spaces, polyaspartic or urethane where sun exposure is real, and specialized systems where chemicals, sanitizers, or battery acid are in play. You’ll hear practical examples from garages and basements to food and beverage plants and battery storage rooms, showing how chemical resistance and UV stability decide whether a floor thrives or fails.

Then we talk money and peace of mind. Higher-grade coatings paired with professional prep reduce lifetime costs, cut downtime, and come with strong warranties that back the work. Less solvent means lower odor and faster return to service, making these systems safer and more comfortable for homes and busy facilities. If durability, cleanability, and long-term value are on your checklist, this episode hands you the framework to choose wisely and skip the headaches.
