About Us
We use a 100% solid epoxy for our base coat because it provides a bit more flexibility given our extreme temperatures and the fact that concrete settles and moves over time. We then use a Polyaspartic top coat because it is FOUR TIMES stronger than epoxy to protect the decorative floor coating from damage. The Polyaspartic is also UV stable and will not yellow over time.
The base coat of epoxy also takes 8 hours to cure so it gives it the opportunity to truly settle and seep into the porous concrete surface we just spent 4+ hours grinding to an aggregate surface. Whereas a polyurea base coat cures within a couple of hours or less so it doesn't have the opportunity to really seep into the concrete like the epoxy does. The epoxy we use is a 100% solid product, the manufactures outline the following regarding the product (btw, we have never had a floor that we installed using this system fail in any way- crack, peel etc):
