Why is Polyaspartic better than epoxy? Why do you have to remove the old coating? Why do you have to diamond grind the floor? Why can't you just use acid to clean the floor? Do the chips make the floor strronger? How long does it take to install? How long before I can walk or drive on it? Why is Polyaspartic better than epoxy?Polyaspartic is 4 times more durable than epoxy. It will not fade in sunlight. It also will not turn yellow over time as epoxy does. Polyaspartic floors can also be installed in one day and walked on in 2 hours. - return to top Why do you have to remove the old coating?If we apply a new coating to an old one, then the new floor is only as good as what is underneath. There is a high chance that the old coating will eventually peel and therefore peel your new floor. - return to top Why do you have to diamond grind the floor?Diamond grinding is the only way to ensure that all existing coatings as well as dirt and oil are removed. It will also open up the pores of the concrete to allow better adhesion. - return to top Why can't you just use acid to clean the floor?Acid will not remove any previous coatings. It can also do more damage than good. Acid can be used in some cases effectively but it is still far better to diamond grind the floor. Acid can also change the ph of the floor which can cause adhesion problems. - return to top Do the chips make the floor strronger?The chips do add stregnth and durability to the floor. It also adds aditional layers which will give the floor more durability. - return to top Is the floor slippery?All of our products are designed not to be slippery. If it is a concern though, we can add skid gaurd to the top coat giving the floor extra slip resistance. - return to top Can it be installed outside?Epoxy will fade in sunlight but our Polyaspartic material can be used outside with no problems. - return to top How long does it take to install?Epoxy and Urethane products generally take a minimum of 2 days to install. With our Polyaspartic product an average garage can be installed in just 1 day. - return to top How long before I can walk or drive on it?Epoxy and Urethane floors need 24 hours before being walked on and up to a week to drive on.
