The epoxy coating has long been used in commercial flooring, but like most modern marvels, it eventually began to be used in many homes, specifically for garage floors. Over time, the technology advanced beyond epoxy to a polymer-based seal coating as many homeowners quickly learned that epoxy has its weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
Polyaspartic Floor Sealing in Lees Summit, Raymore, and Kansas City, MO
At Rock Solid Concrete Sealing Systems, we continually research the latest seals and polymer flooring technology. When homeowners or business owners hire us to seal their floors, they can rest assured it will last for years to come. But like most flooring types, most homeowners don’t know what makes our polymer sealcoating different from epoxy seals, so we put together this blog post to help.
For durability and longevity, polyaspartic seals far outweigh epoxy coating. Polymer is much more resistant to abrasions, impact damage, flaking and peeling than epoxy, even in heavily-trafficked areas. In garages and places where the flooring is exposed to sunlight, polymer seal won’t fade, yellow, or discolor over time as epoxy does, which is a bonus for homeowners who care about their garage floors’ look. The application process for polyaspartic flooring is much less of a hassle for homeowners considering that it takes about an hour for polymer seals to fully dry and it emits little to no chemical fumes, whereas epoxy seals can take up to a week to dry and have a distinct, unpleasant odor during that time which no one wants to smell, not even the installers. Speaking of installation, epoxy seals need a particular temperature to cure properly, but with polymer sealing, it can be installed in both cold and warm temperatures without affecting the durability or dry time.
With endless choices for flake and color customization, Rock Solid can install a stunning and lasting polymer floor in your garage, basement, or on any concrete surface in as little as one day that will last years longer than epoxy coatings.
