Preparation for your Garage Organisers polyaspartic floor coating

1. Plan to be floorless – a standard flake floor will take up to two days and you will need to stay off the floor the entire time. Keep protective measures in place for the duration and don’t try to get back on it earlier than instructed.

2. Clear the floor – remove all items from the floor before the starting date so that our applicator can get straight to work. If there are heavy items that can’t be moved, let us know beforehand.

3. Ensure easy access – make sure our applicator can get in and out of the work area and has access to power. If there are any restrictions in this regard, once again it’s a good idea to let us know beforehand.

4. Seal off – footprints, bugs and dust don’t go well with freshly laid floors. Close all windows, turn off lights and block doorways. If the floor is one part of a larger project, it’s best to leave it to last to reduce the risk of other trades damaging it.

Polyaspartic or Epoxy?

One of the main reasons anyone gets their garage floor coated is to protect the concrete. Garage floors have to endure a lot and eventually they’ll start showing their age. So which material comes out ahead in the polyaspartic vs. epoxy debate in terms of floor protection performance?

If you want the highest level of floor protection, polyaspartic coating is vastly superior to most epoxy coatings.

The reason for this is mostly because of their different chemical makeups. Polyaspartic is formulated with a more advanced technology than the epoxy coatings used in DIY kits and by budget floor installers. This makes them perform at a higher level when it comes to protecting garage floors from damage caused by:

• wear from vehicles and foot traffic

• water and humidity

• stains caused by vehicle fluids, household chemicals, and road salt

• chipping and cracking from concrete expansion and contraction

• abrasions and heavy impacts

• hot tire pickup (where hot tires can leave permanent floors marks)

In most of the above examples (except for hot tire pickup), epoxy coatings do offer protection, but only moderately compared to polyaspartic.

Why polyaspartic coatings last longer

Compared to epoxy, polyaspartic is far less affected by the stress put on concrete floors that comes with shifting temperatures. Unlike polyaspartic, epoxy doesn’t expand and contract well with temperature changes, which causes cracks and delamination (when a coating lifts, chips, and peels) to occur.

A high-quality, Garage Organisers applied polyaspartic floor should last a decade or more. Cheap epoxy coatings, on the other hand, commonly need a full re-application after only a few years.

The typically thin layer that epoxies leave on a concrete surface also wears down faster from general wear and tear from vehicles and foot traffic compared to polyaspartics.

Polyaspartic coatings provide a better seal for your garage floor

Garage floors encounter water regularly, whether it’s from rain that gets brought in on vehicles or other methods like using a hose to clean a floor.

Because concrete is porous, all that water takes a toll on the floor over time. Moisture that gets absorbed into the concrete will eventually cause cracks and other types of damage.

In the polyaspartic vs. epoxy comparison, which floor coating does a better job at sealing the floor and preventing damage from water?

Epoxy coatings offer some protection, but they have a lower degree of water resistance compared to polyaspartics. Polyaspartic coatings create a 100% seamless and non-porous water-resistant floor seal. Any water that touches a garage floor stays on the top surface where it can evaporate or be squeegeed or mopped up, not absorbed into the concrete.

Polyaspartic coatings do not yellow over time

Anyone with an attractive new floor coating wants to keep it looking new for as long as possible. Without the right kind of floor coating, however, prolonged exposure to UV rays will eventually cause the coating to discolor and yellow. If it has a shiny top coat, that shine will fade eventually, too.

A polyaspartic floor’s top coat won’t discolor or lose it’s high-gloss appearance with exposure to sunlight like an epoxy-coated floor will.

Epoxy coatings aren’t protected from UV rays, unlike polyaspartics. That’s a problem unless no sunlight ever touches your garage floor, which isn’t the case with most homes. Some epoxies have UV inhibitors that will reduce the damage done by UV exposure, but they’re still not as protective as polyaspartic coatings.

Polyaspartic provides the highest-caliber UV stability to prevent a floor’s colors and top coat shine from fading.
