When upgrading your garage floor, choosing the right coating is crucial. Many homeowners in Stuart, Florida, and Birmingham, Alabama, wonder whether to use garage resurfacing epoxy or polyaspartic coatings. The short answer? Polyaspartic is the better choice—it lasts longer, dries faster, and outperforms epoxy.
At Floortek, we specialize in one-day floor coatings that transform your garage in just 24 hours. Let’s explore why polyaspartic is the best coating for garage floors.
Epoxy vs Polyaspartic: What’s the Difference?
Garage Resurfacing Epoxy
Epoxy has been a common choice for garage floors, but it has several downsides:
- It takes several days to cure.
- Prone to chipping and peeling over time.
- It weakens when exposed to sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Polyaspartic Coatings
Polyaspartic, on the other hand, is a modern and superior alternative:
- Cures in just 24 hours (ready to use the next day).
- More durable and resistant to wear and tear.
- Stronger bond to concrete, preventing peeling or chipping.
For homeowners in Alabama and Florida, the choice is clear—polyaspartic coatings are the way to go.
