It’s Not Epoxy Garage Floor Coating—It’s Better!

An epoxy-like garage floor coating won’t just make your floors look better. It will also add value to your home or business as well! Polyurea provides benefits beyond epoxy. Here are just a few of the advantages of having your garage floors coated:

Damage Resistant

A polyurea coating will give your garage floor the durability to withstand the elements it’s exposed to every day. Even under the weight of multiple vehicles, polyurea surfaces will not chip, peel, or crack as epoxy garage floor coatings sometimes do. That means you can say goodbye to that unsightly damaged garage floors that are so prone to acquiring over time.

No-Slip Surface

Most floor coatings get slick when wet. However, unlike epoxy, polyurea coatings have a non-slip grip that prevents dangerous slip-and-fall accidents. This aspect is particularly advantageous in commercial environments.

Easy to Maintain

Whether it is oil, anti-freeze, or brake fluid, many chemicals used in garages are difficult to clean up if spilled. However, unlike epoxy garage floors that require special cleaning chemicals, polyurea floor coatings clean up quickly and easily with just a bit of warm, soapy water.

Aesthetically Appealing

If you have your heart set on the look of a metallic epoxy floor, polyurea can deliver. Our polyurea coatings come in many vinyl flakes and color options that can deliver a showroom-level quality floor fast.

Polyurea versus Epoxy Garage Floor Coatings

While epoxy floor coatings are still an upgrade from traditional concrete floor paint, it is no match for polyurea floor coatings. In addition to being four times as durable and offering twice the longevity, polyurea coatings cure faster, meaning you can enjoy your new floor that much sooner.

Polyurea coating also offers significantly more flexibility despite its thickness. In fact, polyurea garage floor coatings are 98% more flexible than traditional epoxy. Additionally, polyurea boasts 300% more elasticity than epoxy. Both points prevent damage due to expansion or impact.

Last but not least, polyurea is extremely UV resistant. Unlike other garage epoxy, polyurea surfaces will not turn yellow due to exposure to sunlight. Even if your garage isn’t exposed to a ton of direct sunlight, it can take its toll over time.

You also have the option to match your garage floors with your driveway or walkways creating a seamless professional look. Polyurea coating can be used on any concrete surface, whether that be your garage, basement, patio, or otherwise.

Gorgeous Garage Floors in Three Simple Steps

We’ve spent years perfecting our application process and taking the time to get the job done right. While every job is a little different, every project involves three basic steps:

1. Prep Work

First, we carefully prepare the surface for the new coating via minimal dust-diamond grinding or shot blasting, then level out the surface with Penntek menders and fillers.

2. Application

The next step is to apply a Penntek Polyurea base coating that creates a durable foundation. Next, we cast the chips by hand to create the desired color and texture for the project. Finally, we scrape and vacuum away any standing chips to create a smooth and seamless surface.

3. Clear Coating

After the installation portion of the project is complete, we apply a UV stable polyaspartic clear topcoat that seals the new flooring and provides a stunning shine. Your new floor will be ready to walk on within 6 to 8 hours, but it may take 24-48 hours to cure completely.
