The Challenge of Coating in Cold Weather
Utah’s winters create challenges for coating projects—low temperatures can delay curing and affect adhesion. But with the right products and techniques, you can still achieve flawless results.
How Temperature Affects Coating Performance
Concrete absorbs cold, which slows chemical reactions during curing. Using cold-weather formulas prevents tacky or uneven finishes.
Best Coatings for Cold Conditions
- Polyaspartic Coatings: Fast-curing, even below freezing.
- Low-Temp Epoxies: Formulated to harden properly in 40°F–50°F environments.
- Moisture-Cure Urethanes: Excellent for humid or frosty conditions.
Expert Tips for Winter Application
- Keep materials warm indoors before use.
- Use heaters to maintain consistent floor temperature.
- Avoid coating when condensation is visible on concrete.
- Allow longer cure times for thicker coatings.
