Polyaspartic floor coating sets up within hours, keeps its clarity under sun through an open door, and goes down on cooler concrete than standard epoxy will accept.
That counts for a lot in Kingston, where an unheated garage can be too cold for epoxy from late October until spring.
Epoxy builds a heavy, sticky base that levels out small hollows in the concrete. Polyaspartic floor coating is tougher at the face, shrugs off scratches and tire heat, and keeps its colour in sunlight.
Plenty of our garages get a mix of the two. The base goes down first, then a polyaspartic clear coat locks in the colour or flakes. That gives you the body of epoxy under the hard shell of polyaspartic.
Each morning on site starts with a slab temperature reading. This material accepts cooler concrete than epoxy, but the slab still has to be dry and warmer than the dew point. On a bitter day, a heater runs in the garage before and during the install.
That is how we keep coating garages in Glenburnie, Odessa and Sydenham through much of the fall and into early winter.
A west-facing garage left open on summer afternoons can turn an epoxy topcoat amber within a few years. Polyaspartic floor coating stays clear, so pale colours and flakes keep their true shade. It also works well on enclosed porches and sunrooms.
In Kingston, polyaspartic systems usually cost about $6 to $12 a square foot.
A lot of our garage jobs finish in one day with a polyaspartic floor coating. We grind in the morning, lay the base and the flakes by midday, and roll the clear coat in the afternoon. You can walk on the floor that evening or the next morning, and park on it within a day or two.
Epoxy systems usually need a second day and a longer wait before the car goes back in.
Enclosed porches on older Kingston homes get sun, boots and salt all at once. A polyaspartic floor coating handles all three and keeps its colour behind the glass.
Business entries see the same mix. A clinic or shop doorway that takes slush all winter stays clean and grippy with a textured polyaspartic finish, and the work can be done in one evening.

Plenty of Kingston properties end up pairing two, like a coated garage with a finished lower level.
Garage floor coating keeps winter brine, motor oil and hot-tire marks on top of the slab, where a squeegee or mop deals with them. Each garage floor coating we put down is bonded to diamond-ground concrete and sealed under a clear coat that holds its colour.

Basement epoxy flooring gives a chilly, dusty lower level a bright, sealed surface that mops dry in minutes after a spill. We fit it to family rooms, home gyms, laundry areas, hobby workshops and student rental suites.

Concrete floor repair deals with the cracks, spalls, dips and peeling paint that would print through a fresh coating. We make the slab solid first, because a new floor is only as sound as the concrete it sits on.

Commercial epoxy flooring puts a joint-free, wipe-clean surface under clinics, labs, offices and storefronts. It takes rolling carts, office chairs and the nightly mop in stride.

Commercial kitchen flooring for restaurants, cafés and food plants is a seamless resin floor that curves up the wall at a cove. Hot water, grease and sanitizer have no grout line to get into.

Industrial epoxy flooring puts thick resin armour on production floors, test labs and maintenance shops where forklifts, dropped parts and chemical drips come with every shift.

Warehouse floor coating guards distribution and storage slabs against forklift scuffing, concrete dust and spills, and it makes long aisles noticeably brighter.

Flake epoxy floors bury a blend of coloured vinyl chips in the base coat, which leaves a speckled finish that disguises grit and gives boots more grip. Kingston garages ask for them more than any other look.

Metallic epoxy floors swirl pearl pigments through clear resin for a deep, marbled look. Finished basements, home bars, salons and showrooms are where it shows best.
