Why Epoxy Sucks
Epoxy has grown in popularity among home and business owners alike in recent years, but unfortunately, even with professional installation, this product has left many people dissatisfied. At FloorDek®, customer satisfaction is at the top of our priorities. You won’t find our company using any epoxy in our garage floor coatings — only 100% polyaspartic.
Polyaspartic is four times more durable than traditional epoxy, providing better protection against UV rays, harsh chemicals, and the day-to-day high traffic that your garage floor sees. Check out these top reasons why our garage coating specialists will never touch epoxy (well other than to remove it and upgrade you to a polyaspartic floor coating!
Epoxy Is Prone to Cracking and Staining
Epoxy garage floors are prone to yellowing, discoloration, and fading over time, while Polyaspartic is highly resistant to UV rays and other environmental factors.
Additionally, epoxy is more porous and can be easily scratched or damaged, while Polyaspartic is more durable and can withstand heavy impacts and foot traffic. Finally, epoxy requires more upkeep and maintenance, whereas Polyaspartic is easier to clean and maintain.
Epoxy Peels
Epoxy is supposed to be known for its durability, but more often than not, it leaves property owners with a floor coating that peels up. Several factors can be attributed to peeling epoxy including improper installation, poor product, or it is installed in too extreme of temperatures.
With FloorDek®’s polyaspartic garage floor coatings, you don’t have to worry about this! Polyaspartic floor coatings can be installed in the most extreme temperatures, curing faster, and providing solid protection that won’t peel!
Moisture Builds Up Underneath the Epoxy Coating
If there is moisture in your concrete or the temperature of your epoxy resin isn’t consistent throughout the mixture, you’re going to have issues with moisture.
While you can etch the floor with acid to help reduce the chance of moisture buildup, this only adds to your wait time and may not fully solve the problem. Polyaspartic garage floor coatings are moisture resistant and provide fast cure times so jobs can be completed within one day!
Air bubbles beneath the epoxy
Once again epoxy is very sensitive and the slightest temperature variant can wreak havoc on your project.
Polyaspartic is the best garage floor coating solution to combat air bubblesand leave you with a sleek finished product.
