When it comes to protecting your garage floor, two popular choices dominate the market: epoxy and polyaspartic coatings. Both offer benefits, but they perform very differently over time. When debating polyaspartic vs. epoxy, it’s important to consider many factors.
epoxy coatings
- Cost-effective upfront
- Good chemical resistance
- Popular for DIY installations
- Downsides: long cure time, prone to yellowing, brittle in freeze-thaw cycles
polyaspartic coatings
- Extremely durable and flexible, resisting cracks and chips
- UV stable—won’t yellow or fade in sunlight
- Cures in one day, minimizing downtime
- Withstands Midwest winters and road salt better than epoxy
which lasts longer?
Epoxy typically lasts 5–10 years before showing wear, while polyaspartic floors can last 15–20+ years with minimal maintenance.
