Why Polyaspartic Epoxy Flooring May Not Be Suitable for Your Basement

When it comes to basement flooring choices, homeowners are attracted to the benefits that come with epoxy-based flooring options. This coating is applied over concrete and offers durability, versatility, and a beautiful finish that can elevate the look of any basement. However, not all types of epoxy are made alike.

Among those on the market, polyaspartic epoxy has become trendy in recent years – but it’s a trend that is quickly dying out as people come to discover the downsides of this deeply flawed formula.

Let’s find out why polyaspartic epoxy flooring may not be the best option for your basement:

1. High Price

Polyaspartic epoxy flooring is generally more expensive than other types of epoxy flooring. In fact, when all factors are taken into consideration its cost can be double or even triple that of traditional epoxy coatings. If you’re on a budget, this is clearly not the right choice for you!

2. Difficult Installation

The installation process is more intensive and technical than standard epoxy, requiring highly trained contractors and specialized equipment. If just any contractor tries to do an installation, you’re asking for trouble – and how do you even verify that they have experience with this material? You can’t! Inexperienced installers pose a risk, too. This type of coating sets fast, which means installers have less time to ensure it is spread out evenly, in turn leading to a higher chance of flaws in your expensive new floor.

3. Slippery When Wet

Forget about having this flooring installed in a laundry room, utility room, or workshop. Why? Because it’s highly slippery when wet, making it a safety hazard. This can be dangerous for you and your family, especially in areas that are prone to moisture, such as basements, garages, and patios. It’s just not worth the risk.

The Truth About Polyaspartic Epoxy

Polyaspartic epoxy flooring may appear to be a great option – it’s a trendy choice these days, after all – but with some research, it becomes clear that this isn’t a good option for your home. From the high price and difficult installation process to the potential safety hazards that come with a wet surface, homeowners need to assess their needs before making a decision.

Thankfully, there is an alternative.
