Epoxy vs Polyaspartic Floor Coatings

Simply

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. We’d be happy to help.

Beautiful Epoxy Floor

Here’s a beautiful reflector epoxy floor that we completed a couple years ago.  I was able to get a peek back into the Elbow Park home recently to see it still it looked as gorgeous as the day we finished.

  

Concrete Resurfacing

admin

BandageNo matter how much care you take with your concrete driveway it will eventually start to wear.

If your home was built in the last fifty years your driveway, and probably your walkway, are built with concrete. These outdoor features of your home need to be made of materials that are durable and long lasting, and concrete fits the bill.

What do you do when signs of aging start to appear? Whether it’s pitting due to oil or other petroleum products leaking from vehicles onto the surface, or from shifting soil that leaves cracks in the cement where grass and weeds can grow, your driveway can become an ugly welcome home.

If your driveway is looking like it may need to be jack-hammered out and re-poured that can be a big expense.

Here’s the good news, don’t just put a bandage on it, there is another solution. Concrete resurfacing is a way to bring those aging concrete walks and drives back to life.
