Polyaspartic Flooring in Virginia by FloorTech
What is Polyaspartic Floor Coating?
Polyaspartic coatings are part of the polyurea family, known for their rapid curing times and exceptional durability. These coatings form a seamless, protective barrier over concrete surfaces, offering resistance to abrasion, chemicals, water, and UV light.
Unlike traditional coatings, polyaspartic polyurea provides a high-gloss finish that remains stable even under intense sunlight, preventing yellowing and fading. The most common concrete coating system typically involves three layers. Depending on your needs, additional layers may be implemented to achieve the desired level of protection or features.
Polyaspartic Floor System
Multi-Layer Protection for Optimal Performance
A polyaspartic garage floor system is designed to provide superior protection and aesthetic appeal through a multi-layer approach. Each layer plays a crucial role in enhancing the durability and functionality of the floor, ensuring a long-lasting and visually appealing surface.
Base Coat
(Pure Polyurea)
This layer bonds with the concrete rather than just coating it. Aromatic polyurea is often used because it cures quickly and provides excellent adhesion, forming a strong foundation for the subsequent layers.
Middle Layer
(Color Flake)
Custom-colored chips create a granite-like look, adding additional durability and ensuring a smooth, even surface for the top coat. These flakes enhance the floor’s appearance while providing texture and slip resistance.
Top Coat
(Polyaspartic)
The final polyaspartic top coat seals and protects the concrete. It is chosen for its high UV stability, gloss finish, and resistance to environmental wear, ensuring long-lasting protection and a polished look.
Polyurea Coating
Polyurea is an elastomer that bonds a synthetic resin with an isocyanate material through step-growth polymerization, creating a durable yet flexible mixture for concrete coating.
Different derivatives of polyurea, such as aromatic polyurea, are preferred for base coats because they cure quickly and provide excellent adhesion to the concrete. This makes them ideal for forming a strong foundational layer that other coatings can bond to effectively.
Polyaspartic Coating
Polyaspartic is a derivative of polyurea with an extended pot life, making it easier to install and improving adhesion to the concrete surface.
Polyaspartic coatings are best suited for top coats due to their superior UV stability, high-gloss finish, and resistance to yellowing and fading. These properties ensure that the top layer not only looks great but also provides long-lasting protection against environmental factors.
Key Features and Benefits of Polyaspartic Flooring
Discover the outstanding features and benefits that make polyaspartic floor coatings a top choice for protecting and enhancing your concrete surfaces
High Gloss and UV Stability
These coatings maintain a shiny finish and do not yellow over time, making them ideal for areas exposed to sunlight. This ensures your floors look new and vibrant for longer.
Chemical & Stain Resistance
The coatings are resistant to various chemicals and stains, protecting your floors from potential damage and making them easier to clean.
Temperature & Heat Tolerance
These coatings can be applied in a wide range of temperatures from as low as 30°F to as high as 140°F, and are resistant to hot tire pick-up, ensuring reliable performance in various climates.
Durability & Lasting Protection
Polyaspartic floor coatings offer excellent resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and stains. This durability ensures long-lasting protection and low maintenance for your floors, even in high-traffic areas.
Flexibility & Impact Resistance
The flexibility of these coatings allows them to expand and contract with temperature changes, preventing cracks and maintaining the integrity of the concrete surface.
Rapid Cure, Ready in 24 Hours
One of the standout features of polyaspartic floor coatings is their fast curing time. Floors can be used quickly after application, minimizing downtime and inconvenience for both residential and commercial spaces.

Installation Considerations
- Moisture and Porosity Testing: Importance of testing the moisture and porosity of concrete before applying polyurea polyaspartic coatings to ensure proper adhesion and prevent delamination.
- Not Suitable for Highly Porous Concrete: Polyurea polyaspartic coatings are not moisture mitigating, making them unsuitable for highly porous concrete with high moisture transmission.
