Polyurea Concrete Coatings: The Smarter, Stronger Choice for Your Home

Are you tired of looking at that dull, stained, or cracked concrete floor in your garage, on your patio, or around your pool? For years, the only real option was epoxy, a solution that often came with a long installation time and a tendency to fail under pressure. At Floortek, we believe your floors deserve better, which is why we specialize in advanced polyurea concrete coatings. This technology offers a beautiful, durable surface that can be installed in a single day. It withstands the test of time, providing a solution that is truly 10 times better than epoxy.

We want you to experience this difference for yourself. That’s why for a limited time, we're making it easier than ever to upgrade your home with a special 30% off on your first installation. Keep reading to understand why so many homeowners are moving away from epoxy and choosing the superior performance of polyurea.

What Are Polyurea and Polyaspartic Coatings?

When you first hear the term, it might sound technical, but the concept is simple. A polyurea concrete coating is a protective layer that chemically bonds with your concrete, penetrating deep into the pores to create a single, firm surface. It’s not just a layer of paint that sits on top; it becomes a permanent part of your floor.

At Floortek, we use an advanced form of polyurea with a polyaspartic topcoat. Think of polyaspartic as the next generation of coating technology. It was developed to overcome the common failures associated with epoxy. Its unique chemical structure allows it to cure rapidly, remain flexible, and withstand the damaging effects of ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun. This technology surpasses the limitations of older products, such as epoxy, which can become brittle and discolored over time. When we install one of our floors, we are giving you a cutting-edge system designed for longevity and performance, not a temporary fix.

The Clear Advantages of Our Polyurea Concrete Coatings Over Epoxy

You may have seen neighbors deal with the frustrations of a failing epoxy floor—peeling, cracking, and hot-tire pickup, where hot tires from your car lift the coating right off the floor. Our polyurea concrete coatings were engineered to solve these exact problems. Here’s a straightforward comparison of why our system is the superior choice for your home.

Installation Speed: Your Time is Valuable

One of the biggest frustrations with an epoxy installation is the wait. The process can take several days to a week before you can walk on the floor, and even longer before you can park your car on it. That’s a week of your garage or patio being completely unusable. Our 1-day floor coatings change that entirely. Our professional team arrives in the morning to prepare the surface and apply the coating system. Because of the rapid curing nature of polyaspartic technology, you can walk on your new floor in just 4-6 hours and have your space fully back to normal, including parking your car, in just 24 hours. No lengthy disruptions, just a beautiful, functional floor, ready for you to enjoy the very next day.

Unmatched Durability and Flexibility

Concrete naturally expands and contracts with temperature changes, and it settles over time. This movement, however small, puts immense stress on any coating applied to it. Epoxy, being a very rigid and plastic-like material, can’t handle this movement. As the concrete shifts, the brittle epoxy cracks, chips, and begins to peel away.

Our polyurea system, on the other hand, is powerful yet remains flexible for its entire life. It is designed to move with the concrete, ensuring it won’t crack or peel away from the surface. This flexibility, combined with its extreme abrasion resistance, is what makes it hold up against dropped tools, heavy foot traffic, and vehicle weight. This durability means you won't have to worry about frequent repairs or replacements, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run. This is why we can confidently say our system is 10X better than epoxy—it’s built to last for the long haul, not just look good for a season.

Built to Withstand Sun and Climate

Here in sunny climates, especially in places like Florida, UV rays from the sun are a significant concern for any exterior surface. Standard epoxy coatings have poor UV stability, which means they will yellow, fade, and break down when exposed to direct sunlight. This makes epoxy a poor choice for any outdoor application.

Our polyaspartic topcoat is 100% UV stable. It contains special additives that act like a powerful sunblock for your floor, ensuring the color you choose today is the color you’ll have for years to come. It will not yellow or fade, making it the perfect solution for outdoor spaces that have to endure intense sun and fluctuating weather. The high humidity we often experience can also pose a significant challenge during epoxy installation. Still, our system is designed to be applied in a much wider range of climate conditions without compromising its bond to the concrete.

A Healthier Choice for Your Home Environment

We also think about your family's well-being during and after installation. Many traditional epoxy systems release high levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which are chemicals that can cause a strong, unpleasant odor and affect your indoor air quality. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, VOCs can have various short- and long-term adverse health effects. Our polyurea concrete coatings are formulated to be ultra-low in VOCs. This means a much safer installation process with minimal odor, giving you peace of mind that you’re making a responsible choice for your home environment.

Our Professional 1-Day Installation Process

A perfect floor is the result of both superior products and an expert installation process. At Floortek, we don’t take shortcuts. Our highly trained technicians follow a meticulous process to guarantee your floor is beautiful, durable, and backed by our comprehensive warranty.

Next, we meticulously repair any existing cracks, pits, or spalling in your concrete. We create a smooth, seamless surface that looks brand new. Once the prep work is complete, we apply our tinted polyurea basecoat, which soaks deep into the prepared concrete. Immediately after, we broadcast your chosen decorative flake blend across the entire surface.

After a short curing period, we scrape the surface to remove any excess flakes, creating a smooth and even texture. The final step is applying the crystal-clear, UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat. This final layer locks everything in, providing that signature durability, easy-to-clean surface, and beautiful sheen. And it all happens in just one day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Polyurea Concrete Coatings

1. What are polyurea concrete coatings?

Polyurea concrete coatings are a professional-grade flooring system that chemically bonds to concrete, creating a durable, flexible, and long-lasting protective layer. It's a modern alternative to epoxy that cures much faster and is significantly more resistant to cracking, peeling, and UV damage.

2. How long do polyurea concrete coatings last?

With proper installation by professionals like Floortek, your polyurea concrete coatings are designed to last for decades. Unlike epoxy, which may need to be replaced every few years, our system offers a permanent solution backed by our Life-of-home warranty.

3. Is the installation process for polyurea concrete coatings messy?

No. Our teams use industrial-grade vacuum systems connected directly to our diamond grinders to capture virtually all dust and debris. We take great care to protect your property and leave your space cleaner than we found it.

4. How do I clean my new floor?

Cleaning is effortless. The non-porous surface of our polyurea concrete coatings means that dirt, oil, and other spills can’t penetrate. A simple cleaning with a pH-neutral cleaner and water is all that’s needed to keep your floor looking new.

5. Can you install polyurea concrete coatings over my old epoxy floor?

Yes, but we never coat directly over a failing epoxy floor. We will first mechanically remove the old, peeling epoxy by diamond grinding the surface. This ensures our polyurea basecoat can bond directly with the solid concrete for a permanent hold.

6. How is this system better than a DIY epoxy kit?

There is no comparison. DIY kits use lower-grade materials and rely on acid etching for preparation, which is inferior to diamond grinding. Our system uses industrial-strength polyurea concrete coatings and is installed by trained professionals, ensuring a beautiful, permanent result.

7. How quickly can I use my floor after installation?

You can walk on your new floor in as little as 4-6 hours after our team finishes. You can return furniture and other items at that time, and you can park your vehicles on it after just 24 hours.

8. Will the color of the polyurea concrete coatings fade in the sun?

No. We use a 100% UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat that is guaranteed not to yellow or fade when exposed to direct sunlight, making it perfect for patios, pool decks, and driveways.

9. Are there a lot of color options available for these coatings?

Absolutely. We offer a wide variety of base colors and decorative flake blends, allowing you to create a custom look that perfectly matches your home's style. You can choose from hundreds of possible combinations.

10. Why should I choose polyurea concrete coatings instead of just painting my concrete?

Paint is a temporary, topical layer that will quickly peel and chip, especially in a garage or on an outdoor surface. Polyurea concrete coatings are a permanent solution that penetrates and bonds with the concrete, providing incredible durability that paint could never match.
