Polyaspartic coatings are a type of polyurea and are used for protective and decorative floor coatings. They are known for their fast curing times, durability, and resistance to various environmental factors like UV light and chemicals.

One of the primary advantages of polyaspartic coatings is their rapid curing time.

They can dry to the touch within an hour and be fully cured within 24 hours, significantly less time than traditional epoxy coatings.

Yes, polyaspartic coatings are generally considered more durable than epoxy coatings.

They are highly resistant to abrasion, chemicals, and stains, making them ideal for high-traffic areas and industrial applications.

Absolutely!

Polyaspartic coatings are UV stable, meaning they won’t yellow or degrade when exposed to sunlight. This makes them an excellent choice for outdoor applications, including patios, driveways, and more.

Polyaspartic floors are very low maintenance.

Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with mild soap and water are all that's needed to keep them looking new.

They do not require waxing or polishing to maintain their gloss and aesthetic appeal.

Yes, polyaspartic coatings are safe for indoor use. High solids polyaspartic coatings emit low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and have minimal odor during application, making them a safe choice for residential and commercial interiors.

Polyaspartic coatings are highly customizable. They can be applied in a variety of colors and can include decorative flakes to achieve a multitude of looks and finishes, matching any interior design scheme.

While polyaspartic coatings are versatile and beneficial, they can be more expensive than other types of coatings and might require professional application due to their rapid curing time. Additionally, the surface preparation required is critical to ensure a successful application.

Yes, in many cases, polyaspartic coatings can be applied over existing coatings, but the underlying surface must be properly prepared and compatible with the polyaspartic material. A professional assessment is recommended to determine feasibility.

When properly installed and maintained, polyaspartic floors can last many years, often outlasting the building elements around them. Their longevity is influenced by the level of traffic and the conditions to which they are exposed.

The choice between the two coatings depends on various factors like substrate conditions,desired finish and application requirements. We will help you make a educated decision.

Both are fast curing and extremely durable, making them ideal for high traffic areas. Polyaspartic coatings offer better UV stability and are more flexible to resist cracking,this makes them more suitable for garage and outdoor applications areas with temperature fluctuations.

Epoxy is much cheaper and easier to install allowing for less skilled applicators . When exposed to the elements epoxy floors deteriorate , discolor and delaminate over a short period of time.

Even though protected by the polyaspartic topcoat the epoxy basecoat is not UV stable so the floor will still discolor over time, it is not flexible like polyaspartic when cured and more sensitive to moisture leading to potential issues with cracking, adhesion and curing. A full polyaspartic floor offers faster curing times, better resistance to moisture , better resistance to substrate cracking and 100% UV stability making them a preferred choice for garage and patio flooring systems

UV resistant epoxy contains additives that help prevent degradation caused by UV exposure to some extent , but prolonged exposure to some types of interior lighting or sunlight will still cause degradation and yellowing over time. UV stable polyaspartic coatings are specifically formulated to resist UV damage without additional additives. They maintain their color and properties even after prolonged exposure to sunlight.
