Epoxy Garage Floors vs. Polyaspartic
Why Smart Homeowners in Birmingham and Stuart Are Making the Switch. Ready to learn more about the superior alternative to epoxy? Discover why savvy homeowners choose polyaspartic coatings in Birmingham and Stuart.
Are you considering epoxy garage floors for your home in Birmingham, Alabama, or Stuart, Florida? At Floortek, we’ve helped thousands of homeowners transform their garages with ten times better coatings than epoxy. While many search for epoxy, polyaspartic coatings offer better results, faster installation, and longer-lasting beauty.
Let us explain why more homeowners like you choose Floortek over traditional epoxy brands. We believe your garage deserves more than just a temporary fix—it deserves a solution built to last for the life of your home.
Understanding Epoxy Garage Floors: What You Should Know
Epoxy garage floors have been used for decades. They are made of a resin-based material that is poured and spread over concrete floors. Once cured, epoxy forms a hard surface that gives garages a clean look. Although epoxy is a common choice because of its availability, it has serious drawbacks, especially in places like Birmingham and Stuart, where heat, humidity, and wear-and-tear break it down quickly.
At Floortek, we understand the frustration that comes with epoxy's limitations. The peeling, the discoloring, a year or two later—it's not what you signed up for. We offer a better solution: polyaspartic floor coating, which outperforms epoxy and eliminates these frustrating issues.
Why Epoxy Garage Floors Often Disappoint Homeowners
1. Long Curing Time
Epoxy coatings need several days to cure, leaving you without your garage for an extended period. Our 1-day garage floor coatings get the job done fast, so you’re back on your floor the next day. We understand your time is valuable. Why wait days when you can enjoy your new garage tomorrow, feeling the relief of a quick and convenient installation?
2. Peeling and Hot Tire Pickup
In hot climates like Stuart, Florida, epoxy softens and peels. Tires can even pull the coating off. Our lab-formulated polyaspartic coatings are formulated for durability and don’t peel, crack, or bubble. Whether it's a car, motorcycle, or heavy equipment, our floors are made to take the pressure and still look brand new, giving you the confidence that your investment is secure.
3. Prone to Yellowing and Fading
Epoxy breaks down in sunlight. Your beautiful finish will turn yellow or fade. Our coatings are UV-stable and made to last for the life of your home. Especially in sunny areas like Florida, this makes a huge difference in long-term appearance.
4. Doesn’t Handle Moisture Well
Epoxy can trap moisture and lead to bubbles or delamination. Our polyaspartic coating technology handles moisture better, making it perfect for Birmingham, Alabama, and Stuart, Florida homes. Humid environments demand coatings that breathe and bond properly, which is precisely what ours do.
5. Limited Warranty Options
Most epoxy installations come with minimal warranty protection. Floortek offers a Life-of-the-Home Warranty, so you get peace of mind for the long run.
