Polyaspartic Floor Coating Beats Epoxy for Garage Flooring In Cleveland

Polyaspartic Floor Coating Beats Epoxy


If you're looking for the best garage flooring in Cleveland, you should be looking at resin-coated concrete. Bare concrete is common in garages, but it's a terrible flooring: easy to stain, difficult to clean, and very prone to damage from road salt. Coating it with a layer of super durable resin turns it into a much more resilient floor, which is easier to maintain and prolongs the life of the concrete.


In decades past, the resin of choice was typically epoxy - but now there's a new option: polyaspartic resin. Polyaspartic mixes are superior to epoxy flooring in almost every way.


Why more and more people are choosing polyaspartic garage flooring in Cleveland?


1 - Fast and Safe Installation

Right from the start, an epoxy coating typically takes 5-30 days to fully cure and harden, and it can not be used during that time. That's not the case with polyaspartic coatings! A polyaspartic floor coat typically cures in less than 24 hours with return to service the very next day.


2 - Better scratch and crack resistance

Epoxy is excellent at holding up under compressive pressure, but it's brittle. Epoxy can be scratched easily, and will potentially crack if hit with a hard sharp object. Polyaspartic flooring is just as good as epoxy at holding heavy weights, but it's significantly harder to damage because it stays more flexible than epoxy, more abrasion resistant and more chemical resistant. Also, Polysaspartic does not peel from hot tires like epoxy.


3 - UV Resistance

Another major issue with epoxy is that it's vulnerable to UV light, and its colors will fade if it's exposed to direct sunlight. If you leave your garage door open, it's guaranteed that your epoxy floor will start looking spotty within a year or two. That's just not the case with polyaspartic coatings, which are highly resistant to UV.


4 - Easy maintenance

As you can imagine, a floor that is hard to damage and won't fade in sunlight will require less repairs and maintenance over time. On top of that, polyaspartic coatings are easy to care for in general. There's no special care needed: just periodically sweep it, and clean it with basic soap and water, and it should be good for decades.
