  • Proper preparation of the surface is the most important step in applying a concrete floor coating.
  • If surface grinding is not done correctly, the coating will eventually peel.
  • And if cracks, pitting, and flaking is not repaired correctly before applying the coating, imperfections will show through.
  • Even the highest quality coatings, if applied by less skilled installers or with corners cut to save cost, will not perform long-term.
  • A 100 percent polyaspartic floor coating requires expert installation by an experienced team.

“So what are my options?”

Least Expensive:

DIY coatings from your Big-box store

  • Almost always epoxy-based
  • Epoxies are larger molecules that do not sink into the concrete.
  • Intended for very short-term “spruce up” or to prepare a home for sale.

Still Pretty Cheap:

Professional Epoxy

  • Large molecule that sits on top of the surface.
  • Very hard, but very brittle – microscopic cracks develop easily.
  • No UV resistance – yellows and fades with time.
  • Easier to install than other options.

More Expensive

Polyurea

  • Smaller molecule, but minimal penetration into concrete surface due to “crosslay”.
  • Very flexible when new.
  • Highly susceptible to UV damage.
  • Become brittle when UV exposed.
  • Professional installation required.

Also More Expensive:

Polyaspartic

  • Small molecule with excellent surface penetration and adhesion.
  • Moderately flexible, resistant to cracking.
  • 100% UV resistant (unless blended with Polyurea – check materials data sheet for 100% Aliphatic composition).
  • Professional installation required.

Blends

  • To save money, some companies use the best product — Polyaspartic — for the topcoat only. They still use epoxy or polyurea for the basecoat.
  • Epoxy base coat with Polyaspartic on top: This adds flexibility to the top layer, but the adhesion issues epoxies have will still be present.
  • Polyurea base with Polyaspartic on top: This prevents yellowing from UV rays, BUT the Polyaspartic top coat, while UV resistant itself, DOES NOT provide UV protection to the polyurea below. So, the base polyurea will degrade over time. Adhesion is also not as good with Polyureas, and applying a Polyaspartic top coat does nothing to improve that.
