Traffic coatings are protective systems applied to concrete surfaces that experience regular vehicle and pedestrian traffic. They are often used in parkades, parking garages, ramps, elevated walkways, and other areas where concrete is exposed to moisture, de-icing salts, weather, and daily wear. Traffic coatings help protect the underlying concrete from deterioration while providing a durable surface that can improve traction and reduce maintenance over time. For commercial, industrial, and multi-residential properties, traffic coatings are an effective way to extend the life of concrete and help prevent costly repairs.

Weather & Chemical Resistance
Helps protect concrete from moisture, de-icing salts, traffic, and everyday wear.
Waterproofing Protection
Helps reduce water intrusion and protect the concrete structure below.
Improved Traction
Texture options can be added to help improve traction for vehicles and pedestrians.
Heavy-Duty Durability
Designed to withstand ongoing vehicle and pedestrian traffic in demanding environments.
Long-Term Protection
Creates a protective barrier that can help reduce maintenance requirements over time.
Solutions for Different Conditions
Different traffic coating systems are available depending on project requirements.
Traffic coatings are designed to protect concrete surfaces exposed to constant vehicle traffic, weather, and daily wear. Depending on your space and requirements, there are a few factors to consider:
Well Suited For
Not Ideal For
Concrete Assessment
We assess the concrete substrate for cracks, surface deterioration, existing coatings and moisture conditions to determine the appropriate preparation and flooring system.
Surface Prep & Repairs
We use diamond grinding or other suitable mechanical preparation methods to remove contaminants and establish the required surface profile. Cracks, spalling and surface defects are repaired as needed.
Traffic Coating Application
We apply the specified traffic coating system to the prepared concrete, including waterproofing membranes and protective wear layers as required for the parkade’s traffic and exposure conditions.
Final Inspection & Curing
We inspect the completed floor for coating coverage and finish consistency. The system is allowed to cure according to product specifications and site conditions before returning the space to service.
Concrete Inspirations can handle traffic coating projects of all sizes, from commercial applications to large parkades. Our experienced team delivers durable coatings that protect your concrete.
