Seamless Epoxy And Polyaspartic Floors
What's The Difference And Benefits?
Both Epoxy and Polyaspartic are resin polymers that are used to protect concrete flooring while giving it an aesthetic look, with a wide variety of applications. They are similar, but have a few fundamental differences.
Epoxy's are durable, chemical resistant, and long lasting coatings that are an affordable way to spruce up an area for visual appeal, but there are also many industrial applications due to their durable and chemical resistant nature. They are fully customizable when it comes to colour so you can make an area truly yours. They have a longer drying time compared to Polyaspartic coatings, so for situations where time is of the essence, a Polyaspartic coating should be considered, especially if multiple coats are required.
Polyaspartics are a more expensive alternative to Epoxy Floor systems, but provide some benefits in exchange. Like Epoxy's, they are a customizable and durable but they maintain some flexibility. This helps maintain a stain, and scratch-resistant finish. Polyaspartic Systems should not be installed in environments where heavy chemical use is present. They are also UV resistant, where Epoxy's might yellow or fade over time in high UV areas. Recommended to add traction additive due to slippery nature.
Ask us about Polyurethane Coatings!
They are softer and more elastic than their epoxy counterparts. This means polyurethane-coated floors are ideal for moderate to heavy pedestrian traffic, or places where wheel traffic is present. The reduced stiffness gives polyurethane top coated floors a slight springiness, allowing them to absorb sharp impacts.
Some Common Places Of Application
