Why Polyaspartic Garage Flooring is Better Than Epoxy

Показать описание
Our research and development team, along with on-staff engineers, did years of research and product testing, looking for the best garage floor coating around. And the final results? Epoxy floor coatings just DON'T belong on garage floors, and we'll tell you why! Unlike a polyaspartic floor coating from Hello Garage, epoxy flakes, chips, peels and yellows. It doesn't stand up to the normal wear and tear of everyday life, which is why we use a better product.

Sorry you guys are a little off

1. Epoxy doesn’t just naturally delaminate.
theirs a whole process from the beginning including grounding the concrete and even moisture testing the concrete. Missing even one step will result in a fail system

2. Hot tire is only noticeable with those Home Depot epoxy kits or cheap epoxy if you use real 100 solid epoxy that doesn’t just evaporate when your pour it I assure you won’t have that problem


3. You can add texture to the epoxy too make it super non slip and I don’t just mean flakes. that’s why it’s so popular in commercial kitchens, ever heard of epoxy cove base ?


The job you guys are showing shows the floor hasn’t even been grounded, I doubt was moisture checked, assuming not 100 solid epoxy was used either.

You guys came in, grounded the concrete then installed your system. With the right prep and right system whether it’s epoxy or poly you should have no issue with this system

I have plenty systems going 10 plus including my own porch which doesn’t have a poly clear cost and has never yellowed

What are your thoughts on mixing the 2
Base coating with epoxy or polyaspartic
Then broadcasting decorative colored epoxy then top coating with clear polyaspartic

hi, would it be effective to use epoxy as primer (because it has longer drying/setting time), then polyaspartic as topcoat? Thanks!

Incorrect.
Epoxy does belong on garage floors. Just not the DIY kits you get from the big box stores. I look at my franchised competitors spec data sheets for the polyaspartics they use on the concrete and it seems that all of them tend to hold back only 3lbs of MVE (moisture vapor emissions) whereas high quality industrial type epoxy primers hold back 8-10 lbs of MVE. Polyaspartics are good. Just not as good as true epoxies. However, the polyaspartics are an excellent choice for the top coat. Just not the base coat. I feel that real epoxy installed by professionals get a bad rap. Almost every epoxy hot tire pick up or other failure happens with the hardware store / local paint store DIY epoxy kits (I won't name the brands). We use epoxy you can't get from the big box store, decorative flakes, and then a polyaspartic top coat. No failures. Proper floor prep by diamond grinding is one of the keys for a successful job. That and high quality, 2 component industrial epoxy (not the water based stuff from the local stores).

can it be used in a commercial kitchen environment with minimal prep? We cannot remove all our equipment unfortunately but do need a better looking washable floor. Blast prepping the floor not an option - what are your thoughts?

Do you broadcast into polyaspartic or just use it as a top coat?

My epoxy floor has damage from battery acid having leaked from the golf cart. Would I still be a candidate for a polyaspartic coating?

I just got brand new garage concrete floor installed 10 days ago.
I wanted to do epoxy but hearing about this polyaspartic too however its 3 times more expensive than epoxy.
Could you suggest whe should I put it on and the life of this polyaspartic.
Thank you

If applied correctly, you won’t get hot tire pick up and the sample floor you show has no topcoat on it which helps prevent hot tire pickup, you prbably showed a floor that wasn’t completely dry before application

Can you tell me how putting polyaspartic over epoxy works . Epoxy takes two days to set . Polyaspartic sets in hours. How doesn't this system delaminate .

I have a moisture problem in my slab. No standing water or broken pipes. But the slab seems to wick water up and I have some efflorescence in spots. Would you have to put down a liquid moisture barrier first and then put your floor on top? Would the moisture barrier be an epoxy type?

Good video, been doing coatings for 10 years, good info

The main reason epoxy chips or peeling is because preparing work wasn't done properly

I did a metallic epoxy and it's still going strong 5 years later 👍

Hi guys have you ever heard of anyone using polyaspartic resin as a replacement for epoxy in fibreglassing? I am building a plywood wooden structure for outdoors that I was going to sheath in epoxy fibreglass as a waterproof barrier but now am second guessing that due to the UV instability (I want to keep it clear for a natural wood look). Although the properties (adhesive, tensile etc) look similar I can't find anything online suggesting people are using it that way. Alternatively is a polyaspartic top coat considered a "permanent" or maintenance free UV protective layer for epoxy when in direct sunlight from your experience with garage floors?

Anything that would avoid 12 yearly coats of Epifanes!

Lmao if the floors has efflorescence problems your polyspartic isn’t going to stay down. I will bet my life on it.

Lmao at :35 that was efflorescence problems not an epoxy problems.

What you guys just did is compare a Toyota hybrid to a ford raptor and say all trucks are faster than cars. The only thing you got totally right is that polyaspartics don’t yellow and epoxies do.

Wow, before you guys pass on bad, biased or at best poorly informed information you might want to doo your homework. A typical homeowner will be duped by your video...buyers beware

I've been using epoxy as my base coat on Garage floors for 17yrs. now. I have never had one fail. This video is just full of lies and it hurts the industry over all. Polyaspartic is a good coating just not as good as epoxy direct to concrete. You can sell good garage floors with out being dishonest about the products that have a proven track record.
