Epoxy vs. Polyaspartic: Key Differences

Both coatings improve durability and design, but they’re not identical. Here’s how they compare.

Epoxy Garage Floors

Epoxy is strong, cost-effective, and highly customizable with flakes and colors. It does take longer to cure, which means more downtime before use.

Polyaspartic Garage Floors

Polyaspartic cures faster (often same-day), resists UV yellowing, and works well for Southern California garages with direct sunlight exposure.

Durability and Performance

When it comes to long-term protection, both coatings outperform bare concrete.

Epoxy: Excellent chemical resistance, strong bond, but can amber in UV-heavy areas.
Polyaspartic: Superior UV resistance, flexible to temperature changes, and less prone to hot-tire pickup.

Want maximum strength? Many clients choose a hybrid system—epoxy base coat with a polyaspartic topcoat.

Cost Considerations

Pricing depends on size, prep, and coating type.

Epoxy: Typically more budget-friendly for standard garages.
Polyaspartic: Higher upfront cost but quicker turnaround and UV protection.
