Ceramic Finish with LIFETIME Residential Warranty

WearMax Floor Coatings have a patented WearMax technology that provides a floor finish that will look good for years. We offer a Lifetime warranty against Residential wear, and a 2 to 3 year warranty commercially. The ceramic coatings leave a layer of particles that protrude the final coat of the finish process. All WearMax Ceramic finishes are designed to contain 12,000,000 + ceramic particles per square foot. These ceramic particles are harder than industrial diamond and provide incredible abrasion resistance. You are actually walking on the ceramic particles and not the topcoat. The Ceramic finishes are considered the second hardest material known to man. There is only one substance that is harder – the natural diamond. The ceramics used in WearMax are even harder than stainless steel. WearMax Technology provides superior wear resistance, superior scratch resistance, excellent slip resistance, chemical and stain resistance, as well as being low maintenance.
