Frequently Asked Questions

Polyaspartic coatings are a newer, more advanced technology compared to traditional epoxy. They are approximately 4x stronger, fully UV-stable (meaning they won't yellow in the Florida sun), and cure in just hours rather than days. While epoxy can take 3-5 days before you can walk on it, a polyaspartic floor can be walked on the same evening it's installed. Polyaspartic coatings also perform significantly better in hot, humid climates like Southwest Florida.

With proper surface preparation and professional installation, a polyaspartic floor coating can last 15 to 20 years or more. Floor Shield of SWFL backs every installation with a 15-year warranty, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected for the long haul.

Most residential floor coating projects are completed in a single day. Our crew arrives in the morning to diamond-grind and prep the concrete surface, then applies the coating system in the afternoon. You can typically walk on your new floor that same evening and park your car on it within 24 hours.
