Professional Simiron Products Used by 8A Coatings
8A Coatings & Surfacing LLC uses professional-grade Simiron products across many concrete coating and surfacing projects. The right product system depends on the slab condition, prep requirements, traffic, exposure, moisture conditions, and desired finish.
Ask 8A which system fits your floor.

How we choose
How 8A Chooses the Right Product System
Every concrete surface is different. Before recommending a coating system, 8A looks at the slab condition, existing coatings, cracks, joints, moisture concerns, expected traffic, cleaning needs, sun exposure, finish preference, and downtime requirements. The product system is selected to fit the floor, not forced into a one-size-fits-all package.
