Garage Floors- Polyurea Polyaspartic Floor Coatings

Garage floors are enhanced with polyurea/

polyaspartic floor coatings. These floor

coatings give standard grey floors a watery

tone, glossy and vibrant or the customer can

select a standard color. The color choices are

enhanced by the decorative acrylic color chip

options available. It takes a few four coats of

material application, but within hours after the

process you will have a new polyurea/

polyaspartic floor coating for your garage

floor.

These polyurea/ polyaspartic floor coatings are relatively new to the market. They paved the

way for a more dense and shiny coating for concrete in the 1990s. The concept behind these

floor coatings includes the polyisocyanate which acts as a catalyst which reacts to the resin, to

form of polymer compound. These coatings are used primarily by contractors with the

decorative chips. However, they can also be used as sheer top coats for stamped coatings,

color coatings, and acid stain jobs.

Thanks to new materials, the application of polyurea /polyaspartic floor coatings for garage

floors has been made possible. These new materials have created coatings which can be

applied in any manageable weather. They can be applied in temperatures as low as thirty

degrees below zero and temperatures over one hundred and forty degrees Fahrenheit. Now

the floor coating for garage floors can be applied during any season of the year. Thanks to

greater abrasion, the polyuria /polyaspartic floor coatings have better impact resistance and

are UV light stable which means no more amber fading to the surface over time. The

application of the material will cure and be completed within a matter of hours, making it a

“low inconvenience product”. The contents of your garage can be put back the next day.

Driving on the surface can resume in 24 hours from completion.

These garage floor coatings are resistant to oil and are stain-resistant making them the optimal

coating to have on garage floors which are prone to tire marks or other stains. The coatings

form bonds to concrete which is unmatched by any other coating and it does not whiten or

amber over time. The coating also protects your concrete from mild acids. It can be considered

water resistant because the floor coatings do not transmit water vapor.

Although garage floors are the most common use for the polyurea/polyaspartic flooring,

homeowners are enjoying the benefits of using the same finish on basement floors, sunroom

floors, patios, pool decks, driveways and front entries. Homeowners love the durability and the

custom color choices.
