What (if any) type of heaters are safe to use on a coated floor. Before I coated the concrete I was using a propane space heater, but I would think that kind of heat is no good on a coated surface.

We use electric 120V space heaters all the time in the garage... No issues on floor finish, but you probably want to know about bigger, ground mounted versions...

Note, I have a "porch" floor finished in methyl methacrylate (not as good as polyurea) - I use a "fire pit" on it all the time, held probably 4" off the floor (has a heat shield) - but darn thing gets hot. No impact to the floor coating.

One of the unique perks of polished concrete is it’s an ideal solution for radiant floor heating systems. Concrete offers great thermal conduction to keep your floors and home cozy on cold nights. With radiant floor heating, you can enjoy lower heating costs, a silent heat system, and evenly distributed heat.

Hi
Once a floor is coated and cured any type of heater is just fine to use. We don’t recommend propane or kerosene heaters while working as the fumes and such. An affect the coating finish occasionally. Electric heaters are fine for during application.
