When it comes to protecting your home in Orlando’s humid climate, choosing the right concrete coating is crucial. But understanding the warranty that backs your coating can often be a confusing process filled with legal jargon and complex terms.

At Floor Shield of Orlando, we understand the challenges homeowners face when comparing a 15-year warranty to the promise of a lifetime warranty. With years of local expertise, we’re here to offer top-tier concrete coatings and transparent warranties designed with Florida's unique weather conditions in mind. In this guide, we’ll help you navigate the complexities of warranties, debunk myths, and equip you with the knowledge to make an informed decision.


The Reality of Lifetime Warranties in Florida


  • The Myth of “Lifetime” Coverage: The term lifetime warranty sounds promising, but it rarely means coverage for life. For concrete coatings, especially in a state like Florida where high humidity and UV exposure are constant, this can translate to just 2-5 years of protection.

  • Misleading Promises: Lifetime warranties often mislead consumers by offering coverage that looks indefinite but comes with fine print limiting real protection. Understanding the details is crucial, especially when the intense sun and rain of Orlando can take a toll on your coating.


Why a 15-Year Warranty is More Reliable


  • What Does a 15-Year Warranty Offer? A 15-year, non-prorated warranty provides homeowners with a straightforward promise: full protection for the entire duration without diminishing benefits. This is especially valuable for areas like garages, patios, and pool decks, which face daily wear in Orlando’s climate.


Prorated vs Non-Prorated Warranties


  • Understanding the Difference: A prorated warranty decreases in value over time, while a non-prorated warranty, like the one offered by Floor Shield, keeps its full value for 15 years. In Orlando’s harsh weather, this non-prorated warranty offers homeowners comprehensive protection for the full term.

Custom Warranties for Orlando Homes

  • Tailored for Florida Conditions: From high temperatures to tropical storms, your concrete coating endures a lot in Central Florida. At Floor Shield of Orlando, we offer warranties that are customized to suit the specific needs of your property, whether you're dealing with heavy vehicle traffic or saltwater exposure near beachside homes.

Concrete Preparation and Warranty Assurance

  • Prepping for Florida’s Climate: Proper surface preparation is critical, especially in Orlando, where moisture can lead to quick deterioration. Even if your concrete is damaged, Floor Shield can perform necessary repairs before applying our coating, ensuring your investment is fully protected under our warranty.

Choosing Between a 15-Year and Lifetime Warranty

  • Making the Right Choice: Understanding that lifetime warranties aren’t truly lifelong is key. In Orlando, a 15-year, non-prorated warranty can be a far better option, offering predictable, reliable coverage against the elements.


The Role of Maintenance in Orlando


  • Maintaining Your Coating in a Humid Climate: Regular maintenance, like cleaning and repairing minor damage, ensures the longevity of your coating. Floor Shield of Orlando provides clear guidelines for maintaining your floor, so you won’t unintentionally void your warranty. This is especially important in Florida, where rain and heat can accelerate wear and tear.

We prioritize customer education, ensuring you fully understand the details and limitations of your warranty.
