Epoxy Garage Floor Coatings

Epoxy Garage Floors have been around for a long time, and would be considered the original garage floor coating. There have been several advancements made over the years that are superior to epoxies.

Epoxy quality is determined by its solids content. Garaginization uses 100% solids epoxy which is the very best epoxy garage floor coating. Garage floor epoxy sold in DFW big box stores are really just thin low percentage products that are nothing more then garage floor paint. There low viscosity (thickness) does not provide an adequate coating build and will not cover imperfections in your garage floor. It will mark the first few times you drive on it, and will wear out in months of installation.

Good quality garage floor epoxies do however make good base coating materials due to there ability to bind and wick to properly prepared concrete, but make poor final top or clear coats as they are not “UV” stable and will yellow or amber with exposure to natural sunlight. They are also harder, not very flexible, making them less resistant to impacts.

Polyurethane Garage Floor Coatings

Polyurethane makes a good top coat as they are “UV” stable, and have good chemical, and wear resistantance. They are typically 3 X’s more durable then an epoxy top coat, and are more flexible making them better for resisting impacts. Polyurethane has good clarity; although its shine is more of a mat type finish versus the water clarity and high gloss properties of Polyurea. It also has a longer drying time which is dependent on temperature.

Polyurea Garage Floor Coatings

Our Polyurea has a solids content of 99% which is much higher then those on the market. It makes both an excellent base coat, and an excellent top coat. It coats to a higher build thickness then epoxies, and polyurethanes making it more durable. It is 4 X’s more durable then a 100% solids epoxy garage floor coating and 2 X’s as durable as a Polyurethane garage floor. In addition it is more flexible, making it superior in withstanding impacts, and more chemical resistant. It is often used to line the interiors of chemical tanks, and is the material used for spray-on bed liners common in truck beds.

It is also “UV” stable and will not fade with exposure to sun light. It has water clarity and provides a brilliant gloss finish. We also offer an optional mat version.

Our Polyurea is a “Green Product” and is low VOC, and is not solvent based.
