At Floortek, we engage with homeowners daily across Birmingham, Alabama, Stuart, Florida, and nearby areas. They often ask us, "Is polyaspartic flooring better than epoxy?" Our extensive experience and knowledge in the field allow us to confidently assert that when it comes to polyaspartic flooring vs epoxy, there’s a clear winner—and it’s not epoxy.

While the initial cost may be higher than epoxy, the long-term value of polyaspartic flooring is unmatched. We’ve installed hundreds of 1 day garage floor coatings and custom finishes for garages, patios, basements, driveways, and more. Polyaspartic outperforms epoxy in every significant category: speed, strength, looks, and longevity.

Let’s break down why polyaspartic is 10X better than epoxy, especially for homes here in the Southeast. If you're looking to invest in your home, this decision matters.

What Is Polyaspartic Flooring?

Polyaspartic, a cutting-edge floor coating solution originally developed for industrial applications, is now available to homeowners like you. It offers unmatched durability, flexibility, and performance. It cures in less than a day, protects against heat and moisture, and gives you a beautiful, durable finish that lasts not just years, but decades.

At Floortek, our polyaspartic coatings are part of our lab-formulated durability system. Every installation is engineered to bond deeply with your concrete, ensuring long-term performance.

When you choose polyaspartic, you get:

• Same-day installation and next-day use

• UV-resistant finish that won’t fade or yellow

• Stronger bond to concrete with no peeling

• No bubbling, chipping, or discoloration

• Performance that stands up to Alabama humidity and Florida heat

For humid and hot climates like Stuart, Florida, or Birmingham, Alabama, polyaspartic is the wisest choice.

What About Epoxy?

Epoxy used to be the go-to for garage floors, but times have changed. Homeowners are quickly learning about its limitations. Epoxy has a long cure time, which means your space is unusable for days. It turns yellow in sunlight, chips under pressure, and doesn't handle moisture well.

Most importantly, epoxy floors often require recoating or complete replacement within a few years.

We've heard from homeowners who invested in an epoxy garage floor a year ago, only to find it peeling or turning yellow today. That's why epoxy is not part of our product lineup. It's not because it’s cheaper; it’s because it doesn’t meet Floortek's high-performance standards. We stand by the quality of our products, ensuring that your investment lasts.

Compare Epoxy vs Polyaspartic

Polyaspartic Flooring vs Epoxy in Real Homes

Let’s discuss how this applies to your home. Every environment presents different challenges, and polyaspartic meets all of them.

In Birmingham, Alabama

With Alabama's extreme heat in summer and high humidity year-round, epoxy floors tend to bubble, peel, and break down fast. Our polyaspartic coatings handle moisture better and cure in under 24 hours, giving you a clean, strong finish ready for daily use. Whether it's your garage, patio, or driveway, polyaspartic gives you more reliable protection and better aesthetics.

In Stuart, Florida

Sunlight is brutal in Florida. That’s why epoxy’s tendency to yellow is such a big problem here. Polyaspartic, however, keeps its color and strength under the Florida sun. With resistance to salt air and moisture, it's the best solution for your garage, pool deck, or sidewalks.
