A new epoxy garage floor coating costs over $2000 on average. Why pay two grand for a second-rate solution when you could invest in the best?
We’re talking about polyurea garage floor coatings, which come with all of the benefits of epoxy and more. As Southwestern Connecticut’s garage floor coating experts, we know a thing or two about polyurea coating.
If you’ve always used epoxy you’re probably wondering what makes polyurea so special, and we’re here to tell you.
Read on for five things you need to know about polyurea garage floor coatings so that you can make an informed choice for your garage.
1. UV Resistance
Epoxy can add a layer of protection to your concrete floors, but that protection isn’t bulletproof. Not only does UV exposure cause epoxy to turn an unpleasant yellow color over time, but studies show that it causes epoxy to weaken, as well. Polyurea is 100% UV resistant, meaning that exposure to sunlight won’t cause yellowing or shorten the lifespan of your coating.
2. Strong Finish
There’s a reason why we call our polyurea garage floor coating Stronger Than Epoxy: it is! For decades, epoxy was the toughest, most durable garage floor coating on the market.
Now, polyurea has taken that title and provides a finish that is 20 times stronger than epoxy. That means polyurea can withstand heavier vehicles and equipment along with more wear and tear before it’s time for a fresh coat.
3. Temperature Safe
Most types of floor coatings can only be installed when the weather reaches an optimal temperature that is neither hot nor cold. This is not the case for polyurea, which we can safely install all year round.
As a bonus, polyurea has a faster cure time than epoxy no matter the ambient temperature. It is during the curing process that air bubbles tend to form in garage floor coatings. A faster curing time means that those bubbles are less likely to show up and mar your brand new floor.
4. Chemical Resistance
One of the biggest reasons that you need to seal that concrete floor with a garage floor coating is that concrete is porous and garages are messy places. You’re bound to find all sorts of chemicals puddled on your garage floor, from gasoline to grease. Even road salt and calcium can do damage to raw concrete.
Polyurea provides complete chemical resistance. Not only is it easier to clean up messes without leaving a stain, but your garage floor won’t take any damage in the process.
5. Customizable Options
Epoxy can provide versatile finishesbut so can polyurea. Our floor coatings are available in a variety of colors and styles. Polyurea provides the best performance and the best aesthetic results.
