Polyaspartic Floor Coating In Guelph, Ontario

Polyaspartic Floor Coating Versus Epoxy

The biggest difference is speed. Epoxy needs most of a day before it can take a second coat, while polyaspartic can be recoated in an hour or two. Polyaspartic also resists the amber tint that sunlight puts into clear epoxy.

Epoxy still earns its place, since it bonds deeply and builds thickness in fewer passes. Many garages get an epoxy base with polyaspartic floor coating on top for the strengths of both, as described on our garage floor coating page.

Cold Garages Slow Most Coatings Down

This product can go down at lower temperatures than epoxy, which helps in an unheated garage in October or November. The slab still gets a temperature check before work starts, and heaters come along when the concrete is too cold.

Fast Products Still Need Careful Prep

A quick cure is no shortcut on prep. Grinding, crack filling and vacuuming still come before polyaspartic floor coating touches the slab. Pot life is short, so the material gets mixed in small kits and laid out a strip at a time.

Most Guelph polyaspartic floor coating jobs price out at $7 to $12 per square foot. Flake, repairs and coat count move the final number.
