POLYASPARTIC FLOOR COATING

Our polyaspartic floor coating system (Floortex®) is superior to epoxy, used in many do it yourself (DIY) projects. Polyaspartic flooring has better abrasion and chemical resistance than epoxy. It also has a rapid curing time which means our professionally trained installers can refinish your floor in less than a day.

If you want a garage floor that is tough, easy to maintain, and long-lasting, then a Floortex® floor coating is your best solution. If it’s strong and durable enough for the US Navy, it will stand up to the demands of your garage.

KEY BENEFITS

as little as one day installation
UV stable topcoat that maintains a high glossy finish and doesn’t yellow or fade over time

Within a working day our garage floor was completely transformed. Our only regret is that we didn't do this years ago… what a difference.

My garage floor was in rough shape with large cracks and flaking concrete. Two technicians spent a full day doing the floor and now it looks great!

What types of garage flooring options do you offer?

For your garage flooring, we offer Floortex®, a premium polyaspartic coating available in a variety of colors, including the classic multi-color flake and the minimalist Stone Series. This top-of-the-line coating not only enhances the aesthetics of your garage but also ensures it’s durable and functional.

How long does it take to install new garage flooring?

The installation of new garage flooring typically takes as little as one day. The process includes surface preparation, applying the base coat, adding decorative flakes, and finishing with a top coat. Floortex™ polyaspartic floor coatings, which Garage Living uses exclusively, cure much faster than traditional epoxy coatings, allowing for a quicker turnaround.

What preparation is required for the garage flooring?

Proper preparation is crucial for a successful garage floor coating application. The entire floor surface must be thoroughly cleaned and free of contaminants. Cracks and imperfections need to be repaired. We then diamond grind the floor to ensure a strong bond between the coating and the concrete. The moisture level, temperature, and humidity are also taken into account during this preparation phase.

How durable are your garage flooring solutions?

Garage Living's Floortex polyaspartic floor coatings are extremely durable, offering several advantages over epoxy coatings. These include high resistance to abrasions, scratches, and impacts, as well as excellent chemical resistance to household and automotive fluids. The coatings are UV stable, preventing yellowing and maintaining their glossy finish over time. Additionally, they are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, making them suitable for year-round application in various climates. Importantly, these coatings can also withstand heavy vehicle traffic, ensuring long-lasting performance even under the stress of daily use by multiple vehicles.
