Would you like a corrosion resistant, thermally stable, and waterproof washroom? Opt for polymer coatings or composites. These coatings have revolutionized the working of bathroom surfaces. Generally, washrooms are exposed to varying levels of moisture and temperatures, which affect their functioning greatly. Shield your roof with waterproof roof coating. Prevent leaks and extend roof lifespan. More so, it can tarnish the quality of walls and floors.
These membranes are made from man-made polymers like polyurethane, acrylic, silicones, or epoxy. When applied to different surfaces, it creates a strong water-resistant barrier. To reduce micro cracks in the surface, a mixture of microcapsules and catalyst is added to the mixture, which releases a repairing agent for self-healing.
The impact of polymer coatings is multifaceted. Let’s discuss!
-
Water and Moisture Resistance
Constant exposure of bathroom surfaces (walls and floors) to water and humidity can cause mold, mildew, and fungi growth. With the use of a polymeric coating, a hydrophobic barrier is applied, which restricts water from entering the interior area. Moreover, the cover enhances the aesthetic appeal and elongates the useful life of the surfaces.

Easy to Clean & Maintain
The protective layer (polymer coating) resists different types of stains from mineral deposits, scum, and other contaminants. After the coating is applied, the porosity of the surface is reduced exponentially, which, in turn, prevents unwanted materials from adhering to the surface. The cleaning process becomes more manageable and less frequent. You can use mild cleaning solutions to maintain the originality of the covering.
-
Scratch Resistance & Durability
Bathroom surface is a high-traffic zone: Individuals move on it frequently. To keep away scratches and cracks, polymeric coatings are the best option; these coverings work as a shield against various impacts, extending the useful life of the bathroom surface. Polymeric coatings are also used on tiles and countertops.
-
Higher Aesthetics
To increase the visual appeal of bathroom surfaces, polymeric coatings are considered by experts. It provides a satin or glossy finish, replenishing worn-out surfaces and providing them with a fresh look. The inviting appearance creates more pleasure and satisfaction to the user.
-
Chemical and UV Resistant
Harsh and corrosive chemicals can erode surfaces over time. To ensure maximum protection, get a single or double coat(s) of polymeric coatings. These coverings minimize the deterioration process by resisting chemical attacks. Designed with UV inhibitors, polymeric coats prevent fading or discoloration when exposed to sunlight.

Grout Application & Maintenance
Grout is a necessary component of bathroom tiling. It covers the thin linings of tiles, fix cracks, and ensure a smooth application of waterproofing liquid or sheet membrane. In addition, it also prevents discoloration and ensures easier cleaning and maintenance.
How to Handle Polymeric Coatings
Following are some factors that should be addressed while applying polymeric membrane coating.
- Experts should apply the liquid chemical. Non-professionals can induce wastage or deliver an incomplete project.
- Ensure ventilation in the area.
- Prior to commencement of work, apply lotion (containing lanolin) to hands, face, and arms.
- Wear PPEs (goggles, shoes, respiratory mask, and other essentials)
- Ensure that tools and equipment (brush, rollers, squeegees, etc.) are available for workers.
- Use water and soap for cleaning the surface
- Reapply skin lotion after the washing process
- If you have skin issues after work, use cortisone cream or consult a doctor immediately.
Polymeric coatings play an essential role in safeguarding bathroom surfaces. Its advantages include water resistance, stain protection, higher aesthetics, and more. Ensure that experts are hired for this role. After all, a pleasing interior is what everyone wants.
