Polyurea garage floors and coating systems are a newer flooring option with more improvements over epoxy. They are more durable, feature a shorter curing time, and you can install them at any time of the year.
With a polyaspartic top coat, epoxy and polyurea match up pretty well. However, if your budget stretches further, we recommend the latter. Either way, our lifetime warranty for residential properties and a 10-year warranty for commercial ones give you peace of mind.
Polyurea is a type of polyurethane that looks much like epoxy but is distinctly stronger and more flexible than epoxy. It creates a chemical bond with the concrete, sinking into the pores and rendering them impermeable to water.
Coatings contractors choose polyurea garage floors for several reasons:
You’re looking at about $5 to $7 for one square foot of polyurea garage floors. The final cost depends on the topcoat and additives you select. For example, metallic elements may cost more, while achieving a marbled effect may take more time.

Most people know about polyurea concrete coatings but don’t know anything about the other uses for this compound. It’s also widely used across several industries to prevent metal from eroding and to create watertight containers.
So, should you choose epoxy or polyurea garage floors? Many contractors offer both, with epoxy falling on the lower end of the budget. Epoxy coatings are good, but polyurea is better because:
Using a polyaspartic top coat will significantly improve the longevity of epoxy coatings. The top coat protects the base layer with built-in protection against UV rays and a rock-hard finish.
Using a base of polyurea and a coat of polyaspartic is ideal. However, don’t discount epoxy if you’re on a tight budget, as the results are comparable when you have the correct installation specialists.
Here polyurea and epoxy are pretty similar. You can use color flakes, pigments, and a wide range of additives to create several looks. If you work with our professional team, you can recreate the look of far more expensive materials like marble.
We can lay the new floor over existing concrete, and as we hand cast each flake, no two look precisely the same. Variations in the flake pattern or pigments make each new coating a custom piece.
Are you after a new look in your garage? Do you want something to seal the concrete and make it easy to clean? Polyurea garage floors might be the answer you’ve been looking for.
