Homeowners choose polyaspartic because of its durability but it also sets quickly and is almost a ‘one and done when it comes to maintenance. Polyaspartic is over 6 times stronger than epoxy and it is not restricted to just your garage floor. Polyaspartic can be applied to steps and is not confined to concrete. That means that it can be coated on top of materials like wood and doesn’t have to be a vertical surface.
While polyaspartic is recommended for its durability for outdoor surfaces, it can still become slippery when wet. Using a grit additive to your polyaspartic coating can help to combat this problem on stairs and other surfaces that are not your garage floor. Typically if this coating is just applied to a vertical floor, you can get away with no grit addition.
Coating a garage requires it to withstand heavy foot traffic, heavy tire traffic, and impact. Choosing this coating family will help the facelift of your garage to last for a lot longer. The price difference between materials is marginal at best and is a better option for those who want a more stone-like design that is not restrictive.
The Difference Between Polyurea And Polyaspartic
While polyurea and polyaspartic are in the same family, they are not exactly alike. Polyaspartics are a kind of polyurea that is modified to improve on the areas in which typical polyurea could use a bit of strengthening. Both are extremely durable and polyaspartic is the consistency of water, while polyurea is even thinner.
The fumes and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) don’t last as long as epoxy fumes do. High VOC can cause eye and throat irritation, coughing, and headaches. Garage Floor Masters uses a polyaspartic coating with little to no VOCs.

Our Style Options
Just because your garage is not seen by everyone, doesn’t mean it can’t look high class, like the rest of your home. Garage Floor Masters offers multiple color and style options. Some of our favorites are featured below.
Applying polyaspartic is not a DIY job, because of the limited working time, prep work, and laying methods. Precision is required to get the garage floor look beautiful. We strive to provide the highest quality and most efficient application.
These floor coatings can be laid in three different ways. Polyaspartic systems require a top coat of polyaspartic and can include a base coat of either epoxy, polyurea, or polyaspartic. All three get the job done, but polyaspartic base coats are recommended for the strongest durability.
The last thing you want is for your coating to fade or break soon after application. Our professional team wants to help your Tennessee home stand out from the rest. Our team can recommend the best course of action for your garage floor and discuss all the options available to you.
We take great joy in every job that we do. Every step of the process is important to us. You should not only be delighted with the finish of your floor, but with the customer service, we provide from beginning to end.
