If you’re searching for a better floor for your garage, chances are you’ve come across the terms “epoxy” and “polyaspartic.” So, what’s the difference—and which is better for homes in Birmingham, Alabama, and Stuart, Florida?

Let’s simplify: Regarding epoxy garage floors vs. polyaspartic, polyaspartic wins—every time.

At Floortek, we’re dedicated to enhancing your home with our unique polyaspartic coatings. These coatings look better, last longer, and install faster, allowing you to use your new floor the next day. And to ensure your peace of mind, we back our floors with a Life-of-the-Home Warranty.

If you’ve been burned by epoxy before or are unsure where to start, this guide will explain everything you need to know without the industry jargon, such as 'curing time' and 'bond strength'.

Why This Matters: Flooring That Works Where You Live

Florida and Alabama aren’t gentle on concrete. High humidity, intense sunlight, and sudden storms test your home’s exterior—garage floor included.

Stop if your garage floor is cracking, peeling, or flaking, and you’re considering replacing it with epoxy. You deserve something more substantial.

That’s why Floortek only installs polyaspartic coatings. Our system is engineered to withstand the most demanding conditions, especially in places like Stuart, Florida, and Birmingham, Alabama, where epoxy often fails.

What Is an Epoxy Garage Floor Coating?

Epoxy coatings have been the go-to solution for decades. They’re a two-part system that hardens over a few days and offers basic protection against moisture and wear.

But over time, epoxy shows its weaknesses:

• It takes multiple days to cure.

• It can turn yellow when exposed to sunlight.

• It becomes brittle and chips under hot tires.

• It doesn’t perform well in humid or fluctuating climates.

Many homeowners who choose epoxy need repairs or replacements within a few years.

What Is a Polyaspartic Garage Floor Coating?

Polyaspartic coatings are a next-generation technology. Designed for commercial performance, they’ve become the go-to option for residential garages, driveways, patios, and more.

At Floortek, we’ve perfected the process with our 1-day garage floor coatings. You get a durable, beautiful finish in less than 24 hours.

Benefits of polyaspartic:

• Cures fast – walk on it the next day.

• UV stable – won’t yellow over time.

• Stronger bond – sticks better to concrete.

• More flexible – handles temperature swings without cracking.

• 10X better than epoxy – in every way that matters.

It’s why we use polyaspartic for all of our services, including patio coating service, pool decks coating service, driveways coating service, sidewalks coating service, and basement coating service.

Epoxy Garage Floor vs Polyaspartic: Real Talk from Floortek

We understand the frustration of homeowners disappointed with their old epoxy floors. Many believed epoxy was the best option, only to be let down by peeling, fading, or bubbling in just a few years.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Epoxy is a thing of the past. While it may have been a great solution decades ago, today’s homes and climates demand something more substantial.

• Polyaspartic lasts longer. Our polyaspartic coatings are engineered for real-world wear, giving homeowners a sense of relief and confidence in their investment.

• You don’t have time to wait. Polyaspartic floors cure in just one day, so your garage will not be shut down for long.

And let’s not forget: our floors are backed by a Life-of-the-Home Warranty. That means peace of mind for years, not just a quick fix, ensuring homeowners feel secure in their choice.

Designed for Southern Living

Let’s discuss Stuart, Florida, and Birmingham, Alabama. Both regions experience extreme weather—heat, rain, and significant temperature swings—that epoxy can’t handle.

Polyaspartic doesn’t just survive these conditions—it thrives:

• In Florida, it resists high UV exposure without fading.

• In Alabama, it stays tough even in the humid summer months.

Floortek installs coatings designed for the South's real-world climate. These aren’t off-the-shelf solutions—they’re formulated explicitly in our labs for maximum durability.

We install coatings where others fail.
