Epoxy vs Polyaspartic Floor Coatings

Epoxy and polyaspartic floor coatings are the two most popular types of floor coatings. Let’s delve into the unique features of each of these durable and attractive floor coatings to help you make an informed decision when you’re ready to get your project underway.

Epoxy coatings have stood the test of time and continue to be a reliable choice. Epoxy offers a tough and durable surface that can withstand heavy traffic and resist various chemicals. It’s a classic option for garage floors and industrial settings, providing a seamless and glossy finish that enhances both aesthetics and functionality.

Polyaspartic coatings have quickly gained popularity for their rapid curing time. Unlike traditional coatings, polyaspartic finishes can cure in just a few hours, allowing for quicker installation and reduced downtime. This makes them an excellent choice for spaces that require a fast turnaround, such as commercial establishments and busy households.

When comparing the two, it’s essential to consider the application process. Epoxy, while durable, requires precise mixing and application, often necessitating professional installation for optimal results. Polyaspartic coatings are user-friendly, with a forgiving application window.

Both coatings offer excellent resistance to UV rays, ensuring that your floor maintains its vibrancy over time. However, polyaspartic coatings have a slight edge in this department, as they are less prone to yellowing when exposed to sunlight.

The choice between epoxy and polyaspartic floor coatings depends on your specific needs and preferences. For those prioritizing long-term durability and a time-tested track record, epoxy coatings remain a solid choice. If speed and ease of application are top priorities, polyaspartic coatings may be the ideal solution.

Ultimately, both options provide a durable and visually appealing finish, allowing you to enjoy your space with confidence and style. Hope that info informs your project decisions for your home or business! If you have more questions or would like to discuss these coatings in more detail, give us a shout at 403-547-5597.

Can water damaged floors be repaired?

Yes they can!

It’s called water degradation and can be caused by any number of things. Fire, aggregate expansion, bacterial corrosion, calcium leaching and many others.

Many basement floors get damaged by the high water tables and backed up sewers.

Untreated sewer water can produce hydrogen sulfide, which is then oxidized by aerobic bacteria present on the concrete surface above the water level. The sulfuric acid dissolves the carbonates in the cured cement and causes strength loss, as well as producing sulfates that can be destructive to the concrete.

Hardscapes Inc. has a solution to this problem. A clean up of the concrete floor and then sealing the concrete with a great decorative coating can preserve and update your damaged basement floor. This is a great alternative to replacing rugs and hardwoods.

Absolutely not too late to consider coating your garage floor!

Despite our beautiful extended summer weather coming to an abrupt end this weekend, it’s definitely still not too late to get your concrete garage flooring project in this fall.

Some experts claim that the fluids that drip from your vehicle and are left unattended are what cause all the pitting and damage to the concrete surface of your garage floor. In Canadian cities, winter climate conditions mean that road and highway maintenance requires snow melting products, so it’s very likely that salt is also responsible for some of that damage.

Garage floor coatings can provide various benefits, including enhanced durability, resistance to stains, and a cleaner appearance. Whether you’re looking to protect your floor from oil and chemical spills, create a more attractive space, or simply make cleaning easier, applying a garage floor coating can be a worthwhile investment.

Hardscapes has solutions to address your garage floor issues. Our polyaspartic floor coatings are able to cure even in our cold Calgary fall/winter temperatures. 100% UV resistant, polyaspartic coating will provide years of easy maintenance and it’s non-skid texture ensures safety.
