Polyurethane Floor Coating Costs Overview
An in-depth overview of the factors influencing the expenses associated with polyurethane floor coatings, including material quality, surface preparation, and application complexity.
The condition of the substrate significantly affects the cost, with damaged or uneven surfaces requiring additional preparation.
Different formulations, such as moisture-cure or aliphatic, influence the price due to varying material costs and durability.
Spray, roll, or brush application methods have different labor and equipment costs, impacting overall expenses.
| Factor | Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Basic Polyurethane Coating | $3 - $7 per sq ft |
| High-Performance Coatings | $7 - $12 per sq ft |
| Surface Preparation | $1 - $4 per sq ft |
| Labor Costs | $2 - $6 per sq ft |
| Number of Coats | $1 - $3 per sq ft per coat |
| Additional Repairs | $2 - $5 per sq ft |
| Thickness of Coating | Varies with desired durability and cost |
| Location and Accessibility | Can add 10-20% to total cost |
Indoor applications typically cost less due to controlled conditions, whereas outdoor coatings may require additional weatherproofing measures.
Concrete, wood, or existing coatings influence the preparation process and material choices, affecting overall costs.
Thicker coatings improve durability but increase material and application costs.
