Top 5 Reasons Polyaspartic Is Better Than Epoxy Flooring

Say you're looking for the right way to seal and protect your garage flooring, and you start researching various concrete coatings. More than likely, you'll come across products like epoxy flooring, which has been commonly used for years. However, you may also notice a trend in polyaspartic products like Floor Shield and wonder what it is and which is the better choice. As a homeowner and a consumer, you want to make the best decision possible. Don't settle for less than the best for your home, and take the time necessary to do a little research.

Polyaspartic vs. Epoxy

On the surface, polyaspartic and epoxy floor coatings seem similar and share some characteristics. However, you deserve the product that will outperform all others, and all signs point to polyaspartic resin technology. Here are a few of the reasons why:

• Durability - Polyaspartic coatings are up to four times more durable than standard epoxy flooring. It just makes more sense to choose the coating that will work harder for you.
• Flexibility - Not only is Floor Shield more durable than epoxy, but it's also more flexible, which makes it resistant to chips, scratches, and scuffs. If you want a floor coating that works harder for you but doesn't show wear and tear, choose polyaspartic.
• UV Stability - Epoxy tends to yellow or fade with age or from exposure to UV light. You won't have to worry about that with polyaspartic coatings.
• Drying Time - When you choose a polyaspartic coating for your flooring, you can expect to be moved back in and using your floor within the same day. While epoxy can take as long as 16 hours for one layer, Floor Shield can be ready in a fraction of the time - as little as 5-6 hours!
• Air Quality - The low VOCs in polyaspartic mean better air quality. That's important, especially for indoor use, whether it's a garage, commercial kitchen, locker room, or any other enclosed space.
