Epoxy Or Polyaspartic?

Did You Know There's A Big Difference?

I'm sure you've been considering a new floor coating for your garage, and you're not sure whether to choose epoxy or polyaspartic. Let me guide you through the key differences to help you make the best choice for your home.

Epoxy:

You might already be familiar with epoxy coatings. They're quite popular and can be a budget-friendly option. Epoxy gives your garage floor a great initial look, particularly with a thicker application. Many people are drawn to epoxy because it's often marketed as a DIY-friendly option that doesn't require a lot of experience or tools.

However, it's important to consider the long-term performance of epoxy. Over time, it can suffer from fading, peeling, and cracking. This happens because epoxy isn't very elastic and doesn't handle heat well. You might notice uneven fading due to sunlight exposure, and the heat from your car's tires can degrade the surface. While epoxy can be a great choice for interior uses, like furniture, it may not be the best for a garage that experiences extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and hot tires.

Polyaspartic:

Now, let's talk about polyaspartic coatings. The main challenge with polyaspartic is that it sets very quickly, almost like fast-drying glue, so the application needs to be quick and precise. But when it comes to garage floors, polyaspartic is often the superior choice. It's incredibly strong – in fact, over four times stronger than epoxy. Unlike epoxy, polyaspartic is a "set it and forget it" solution. It's so durable and reliable that it often comes with a lifetime warranty, something you rarely see with epoxy.

Polyaspartic flooring can be installed quickly, usually in just one day, thanks to its fast-drying nature. This means less disruption for you. It's also resistant to fading and can handle the heat from your tires without a problem.

Most of our clients opt for polyaspartic flooring for its longevity and ease of maintenance. It's a one-time investment that means you won't have to worry about redoing your garage floor again. So, if you're looking for a durable, long-lasting solution, polyaspartic is definitely the way to go. Unlike Epoxy that offers zero warranties.
