Understanding the Differences Between Coating Systems

Epoxy is a popular and proven solution known for its thickness, strength, and decorative versatility. High-build epoxy creates a durable base layer that bonds tightly to concrete, providing excellent resistance to abrasion, stains, and chemicals. Epoxy offers a wide range of color and flake options, making it ideal for homeowners who want both performance and customization.

Urethane is typically used as a protective topcoat over epoxy or poly systems. It adds enhanced scratch resistance, UV stability, and flexibility, helping prevent yellowing and wear over time. This layer improves longevity and provides a smooth, durable finish that holds up well under daily use.

Polyaspartic coatings are known for their fast cure times and exceptional durability. They are a popular choice for topcoat options to several of our systems. Polyaspartic systems offer excellent UV resistance, moisture tolerance, and flexibility, making them ideal for garages that experience temperature changes and heavy use.

Polyurea is one of the most advanced and durable coating technologies available. It cures rapidly, bonds aggressively to properly prepared concrete, and offers outstanding resistance to impact, chemicals, and moisture. Highly flexible and extremely tough, polyurea systems are commonly used in industrial environments and provide maximum performance for residential garages as well.
