Don’t Be Misled by Fake Epoxy Flooring Claims

What “Epoxy Flooring” Really Means—and Why 1-Day Systems Don’t Measure Up

In Dallas, you’ve probably seen 1-day flooring companies advertising “epoxy flooring” that promises a fast transformation. But take a closer look—most of these systems contain no epoxy at all. They’re made entirely of polyaspartic (or polyurea) and are marketed using misleading terms.

At GarageFloorCoating.com (North Dallas), we install true epoxy flooring, starting with a 100%-solids moisture-mitigating epoxy base coat and finishing with two layers of a 100%-solids polyaspartic. No shortcuts, no rebranding—just real performance.

Polyaspartic-Only Systems: Fast Isn’t Always Better

Here’s why using quick-curing polyaspartic (or polyurea) as a base coat is a risky move:

• It cures very rapidly, making strong concrete adhesion difficult.
• It lacks the viscosity needed for a durable foundation (its not a “high-build” coating).
• It does not offer true moisture mitigation, putting your floor at risk when Dallas storms hit.

A 1-day system may sound convenient, but what you save in time, you lose in longevity.

Why GFC’s Epoxy Flooring System Is Built for Texas Conditions

Our 2-day system is designed to stand up to Texas heat, humidity, and wear:

• Day 1: We apply a thick, 100%-solids moisture-mitigating epoxy base coat that creates a strong bond with the concrete and serves as a true moisture vapor barrier coating.
• Day 1: We broadcast your selected flake blend into the base coat in a full flake spread.
• Day 2: We finish with two 100%-solids (nothing less) polyaspartic topcoats for superior UV protection, chemical resistance, and a long-lasting, high-gloss finish.

This system is built for high performance and Texas-sized durability.
