With the rising inflation, many homeowners are looking for effective ways to protect their homes, save energy bills, and prevent expensive repair services. Waterborne polyurethane offers all that and much more with its extraordinary features.

Keep reading to learn how adding a layer of polyurethane can improve your home’s appearance and extend its lifespan.

Preserving the Flooring

When waterborne polyurethane coating is applied to the floors in your home, it helps them maintain their original color and highlights the grain of the wood even more. Other oil-based coatings change the color of wooden floors and add a yellow-amber hue to them with constant exposure to sunlight.

Most professionals apply water-based coating because they preserve the natural look on gray stained floors, maple wood floors, etc., even when exposed to UV rays. This coating also protects the floors from general wear and tear, heavy footfall, and other materials that may damage them. If you have kids in your home, getting this coating will make home maintenance much easier.

Protects Furnishing and Interior

Most homeowners prefer synthetic leather furniture over real ones because no animals are harmed in their manufacturing, and they are inexpensive. However, maintaining such furniture is quite difficult and can easily fade over time.

Since you use your leather sofa or chairs almost every day, adding a water-based polyurethane coating can protect it from damage. PUDs add a unique appeal to synthetic leather, highlighting its shine and making it look as good as real leather while protecting it from scratches and other damages.

Moreover, interior elements like cabinets, staircases, etc., that are joined using waterborne polyurethane adhesive maintain their bond for a very long time. These adhesives have high flexibility and strength and keep the materials intact even when exposed to heat, water, moisture or other elements.

Protects Carpets

Carpets and rugs are a major part of every home, but they go through a lot, from spilling food and drinks to heavy footfall. Adding a polyurethane underlay can significantly reduce your carpets’ wear and tear. You won’t need to change your carpets every few years as they will maintain their condition, saving your money and reducing wastage.

Corrosion Resistant

Metal and steel surfaces in your home are susceptible to corrosion and rust. Eventually, the corroded surfaces affect the overall structure and require expensive repairs and replacements.

Water and moisture damage is the major cause of the corrosion, and adding a layer of PUD coating can prevent that due to its water, scuff and corrosion-resistant properties.

Reduced Resource Consumption

Every homeowner needs adequate protection from extreme weather conditions to stay comfortable. Waterborne polyurethane offers insulation by keeping the heat out of the home during summers and retaining it during winter. This puts less strain on your HVAC system and dramatically reduces your heating and cooling costs and the consumption of natural resources like oil, energy and gas.

Do you know that water-based polyurethane can also insulate freezers and refrigerators? This helps in their efficient operation and reduces energy consumption. They also protect the food from perishing by maintaining the perfect temperature inside.
