A polyurethane finish coating and a PU-cement screed are not interchangeable. Start with what the floor must survive.
Choose a PU coating when the finish must manage appearance, abrasion or UV exposure. Review a PU-cement screed when the floor itself must carry wet processing, heavier traffic and demanding cleaning or chemical conditions.
This distinction prevents a finish coating from being specified where a heavier floor build is required.
Thin-film polyurethane used as the wearing finish in a compatible coating system.
Polyurethane-cement screed selected as a more substantial floor build for demanding service.
Choose the operating condition. The page will carry that context into your enquiry.
Start with an aliphatic UraForce finish, then resolve drainage, traffic, texture and the compatible build beneath it.
Water-based UraForce routes support selected lower-odour programmes, but isolation, ventilation and substrate preparation still matter.
PurScreed PC70 is the relevant Rayson route where the prepared floor faces repeated wet service and heavier chemical or traffic duty.
These are system routes, not universal specifications. The substrate and exposure decide the final build-up.
The PU layer protects a compatible prepared system beneath it. Review preparation and intercoat requirements before programming.

Open the libraryA PU coating is a thin finish layer selected for properties such as colour retention, abrasion resistance and, for suitable aliphatic grades, UV exposure. PU-cement combines polyurethane resin, cement and fillers into a heavier-duty screed. They are different materials with different system roles.
PU-cement is commonly considered where prepared concrete faces repeated wet processing, chemical exposure, heavier traffic or demanding cleaning conditions. The actual product, thickness and detailing still need to be checked against the published TDS and the project exposure.
A compatible polyurethane finish can form the wearing layer over a prepared epoxy build-up. Compatibility, intercoat preparation and recoat timing must follow the selected products’ technical data sheets.
An aliphatic polyurethane finish is the usual starting point where colour and appearance are exposed to UV. Drainage, waterproofing requirements, traffic, texture and the substrate condition still determine the full system.
Water-based PU finishes can support lower-odour work in selected occupied-building programmes. Ventilation, isolation, substrate preparation and the published application conditions remain part of the plan.
Cost depends on preparation and repairs, area, system type, film or screed build, access, detailing and the shutdown window. A meaningful quotation requires surface photos and project conditions rather than area alone.
Only after the existing coating has been assessed for adhesion, compatibility and condition. Unsound or contaminated layers may need removal; a sound compatible coating may still require mechanical preparation before recoating.
Return-to-service time depends on the selected product system, temperature, ventilation, thickness and intended traffic or chemical duty. Programme against the relevant TDS rather than a generic PU flooring claim.
