Strength
If you’ve done your research, you probably know a few popular garage floor covering methods and some disadvantages for each. Epoxy has long been a top choice for strength and durability, but it yellows over time and can get very slippery.
Along comes polyurea as a garage floor coating. Polyurea is 20x stronger than epoxy and 98% more flexible. It is superior for impact resistance, so no more worries about a cracked floor when tools drop.
It is scratch-resistant. Go ahead and work in the garage with no worries about damaging the surface.
It can take the heat. Park your car after a great ride without worrying about hot tire pickup. Your car can go straight from high-speed driving and into the garage without causing peeling or cracking of chip flooring.
Dry Time
Polyurea chip flooring dries faster than epoxy. Compare days of waiting for epoxy to cure with 24 hours for polyurea.
This fast dry time applies even in lower temperatures. No worries if Florida gets a drop in temperature on the day of your scheduled application. Polyurea cures well in temperatures below 30 degrees and temperatures above 100 degrees.
Because of its quick-to-cure time, polyurea has been used successfully for military and industrial applications for over 25 years. When it cures, it stays put, without the disadvantage of peeling that comes from simply painting a floor.
Safety
The decorative chips in polyurea chip flooring and its topcoat help to create an anti-slip surface.
Unlike epoxy, polyurea has a lower volatile organic compounds (VOC) emission rating. Lower means nearly zero in VOC. You can also breathe easier knowing that polyurea does not release toxins and has no odor when curing.
Stain Resistance
Polyurea chip flooring is resistant to oil, gas, grease, and salt. Not only will your cars look great on this flooring, but you can also work on them without the worry of ruining your garage floor. Simply wipe up spills with soap and water.
Fading is not a worry with advancements in floor covering. Unlike epoxy, polyurea does not turn yellow. It is UV resistant.
Color Variety
Chip flooring offers so much more for a custom look rather than simple paint.
Garage Force of Tampa Bay has over 30 color choices to give a monochrome or contrasting flooring style when matched with your prized vehicles.
For example, the Lighthouse color option features black, white, grey, and burnt red in its mixture. For a garage with mostly black vehicles, accent this color choice in chip flooring with grey walls and shelves. Hang pegboard for tools in a color that picks up the burnt red tones.
