Many factors can influence the floor design and function, budgetary considerations, aesthetic preferences, and much more. Polyurea, however, is the clear choice. Polyurea is more flexible, as it can move with concrete because it is easier to work with. It is also stronger than Epoxy and more invulnerable to impact. Polyurea flooring is not something you can apply yourself. The result of applying polyurea is a smooth, attractive garage floor that's resistant to oil, grease, chemical, extreme heat, and tire marks. You can personalize your floor with a polyurea coating in a variety of colors or a mixture of flakes. Epoxy can be more economical for short-term use; however, you should expect to have to replace or refinish it within a couple of years. Epoxy Coatings typically last between 5-10 years before needing to be reapplied. ArmorThane's Polyurea coatings, on the other hand, can last a lifetime!

Property owners often insist that something must be done to try to prevent water from entering the basement. Majority of local building codes require that "an exterior coating" be applied to the foundation walls before backfilling. This does not prevent basements from leaking, it only satisfies the local building code and contractor requirements who are not educated on how to waterproof basements on the inside using ArmorThane products. Property owners are rarely knowledgeable on the subject of waterproofing/coating materials, and rely on recommendations of the building contractor whose main interest is to satisfy obsolete local building codes with his main interest in getting paid! Do not expect to receive up-to-date and reliable information on the subject of basement waterproofing/coating from a general contractor.

Polyurea is a material that is a subset of polyurethane. It is a very durable material that is utilized to coat and seal. Because it is durable, lasts longer than traditional coatings, scratch-resistant, and easy to install.  Essentially, polyurea is a coating that bonds to the moisture in your concrete floors to create a barrier that protects against scratches, the weather, and other things that can damage your floor.
