Polyaspartic Vs Swisstraxs feedback in cold climates

[nr1416]

Newbie here trying to decide on the best flooring application for my use on my double car garage. I live in Toronto, Canada so the garage gets both dailys parked inside during the winter.

I was originally leaning towards doing Swisstraxs Ribtraxs, I like the look and choosing your own design. But I dont know if I wanna deal with all the road salt, sand and grim getting underneath the tiles. I know you can pull up the floor and clean it but doing that every year turns me off a bit.

Recently I've been pricing out polyaspartic flooring with 100% full paint chip coverage. The cost is a bit more, so thats a none issue. My major concern is how the floor will hold up over time, I will dont want to redo the floor in 10 years.

So my question for those who have either Swisstraxs or polyaspartic and live in cold snowy climates what are your opinions on the products? Thanks

The poly is fine. We ship it to Alaska so it's fine for the Canucks too!!

Both the solutions you refer to are great products. Really it depends on how you use the floor. I've shortened the quote above because I want to deal with both the issues you mentioned.

The Ribbed tile, Swisstrax or others like RaceDeck and our TrueLock HD are very very easy to keep clean. Most of the time we just shop vac right through them. Once in a while we will spot spray with a hose. If we really really need to, we can pressure wash right through the tile -- but we do not have drywall to the floor.

With a full flake system you absolutely should not have to redo the floor. I WOULD make sure I did a couple of coats of urethane and used an adequate amount of a tabular alumina anti skid / anti wear in the final coat. I WOULD also plan on every few years lightly sanding it and putting a fresh coat of urethane on. IF you deal with surface scratches and wear BEFORE it hits the main system, it is very easy to repair.

If tiles are of interest to you take a look at our www.supratile.com solid PVC tiles. These have super tight joints so nothing will get under them. Lifetime warranty and installs in hours instead of days.

We also carry a 100% solids polyaspartic for full broadcasting if you want to go that route. Much thicker than standard polyaspartics.

Go with epoxy if you want the best floor. For the same dollars the floor will be much stronger. You can top coat it with a poly but I think it's not wise to use it for other layers.
