Polyaspartic vs Epoxy: Why Homeowners in Birmingham, AL & Stuart, FL Choose Floortek



polyaspartic vs epoxy


When comparing polyaspartic vs epoxy for your garage, patio, or driveway, the choice can significantly impact the beauty and durability of your floor. At Floortek, we install polyaspartic floor coatings because they are stronger, faster, and longer-lasting than epoxy. You're in the right place if you live in Birmingham, Alabama, Stuart, Florida, or nearby. Let’s explain why polyaspartic is the clear winner.

What Makes Polyaspartic Better Than Epoxy?

Many homeowners still hear about epoxy, but it’s no longer the best option. Epoxy coatings take days to cure, are prone to peeling, and don’t hold up well in hot, humid climates like Alabama and Florida. On the other hand, polyaspartic coatings are ready in just one day and built to last.

At Floortek, we only install polyaspartic because it delivers real, lasting results. It resists fading, stays intact under pressure, and gives you the polished look you want, without the headaches that come with epoxy.

Our coatings are designed to withstand the test of time and look beautiful while doing so. Unlike epoxy, which may yellow or chalk over time, polyaspartic maintains its gloss and color, whether you’re coating a garage in downtown Birmingham or a patio by the beach in Stuart.

Polyaspartic vs Epoxy: Performance in Southern Weather

If you live in Birmingham, Alabama, or Stuart, Florida, your floors face intense sun, humidity, and temperature swings. Epoxy doesn’t handle these conditions well. It can yellow, crack, and break down over time, which is a big problem if you’re looking for a lasting coating.

Polyaspartic floor coatings are UV-stable so they won’t fade in the sun. They also expand and contract with the concrete during hot and cold weather, without peeling or chipping. That’s the kind of performance you deserve.

Polyaspartic coatings are ideal for all residential concrete surfaces, including garage floors, patios, driveways, sidewalks, and basement floors. Our product adapts well to both interior and exterior applications.

Fast, Professional Installation in Just One Day

Your time is valuable. That’s why we offer one-day garage floor coatings that look amazing and are ready to use quickly. With epoxy, you’d have to wait several days, and the floor might still be soft or uneven.

With Floortek’s polyaspartic system, we’ll prep your surface, apply the base, add the flakes, and finish with a strong polyaspartic topcoat—all in just one day. You can walk on it the next day and drive on it shortly after. This means less disruption to your life and quicker access to your upgraded space. Whether it's your main garage, back patio, or front sidewalk, we deliver quality with speed, giving you a quick and hassle-free transformation.

Lab-Formulated for Durability

Our coatings are lab-formulated for durability and engineered to handle wear from cars, kids, pets, and weather. Unlike epoxy, which can get soft or brittle, our polyaspartic floors stay tough for years.

We use a broadcast polymer flake system that locks into the surface for long-term strength and style. Choose from dozens of Colors and Flake Options to match your home.

Our coatings are chemical-resistant and easy to clean. Whether you spill oil, paint, or cleaning products, the floor resists stains and wipes clean with minimal effort. This low-maintenance benefit is something epoxy can’t match.

We believe in long-term value. That’s why every floor we install comes with our Life-of-the-Home Warranty. The warranty is transferred to the next owner if you sell your home, ensuring that your investment in polyaspartic coatings is a secure and confident one. No surprises. Just confidence.
