Floor Coatings in Delaware

What does Delaware weather do to a concrete floor?

Delaware is humid, gets plenty of rain, and has freezing winter nights. Damp slabs and humid air can hurt coating bonding, and winter salt is hard on bare concrete, per NRMCA.

Polyaspartic or epoxy in Delaware?

Many people search for epoxy. Epoxy is a good base coat, but many common epoxies are aromatic, and their makers say they can yellow or chalk in sunlight. See the Euclid Duraltex UV data sheet and the Dulux Luxafloor HSG data sheet.

Polyaspartic is a type of polyurea that holds its color better in sun. It also cures much faster than typical epoxy, so many systems allow vehicle use about a day later. Always follow the exact product sheet. See this polyaspartic vs epoxy summary and our polyaspartic guide.
