is this for a DIY project? The polyurea dries fairly quickly and has to be put down fast. It is not a first timer type of product. But it is tough as nails and has a nice build in only 1 coat.

That particular product has a good reputation in the industry. As in most cases, it's the people installing it that will determine how well it lives up to its intended purpose.

Guys, there all types of Polyurea. Professionals use a quick curing high solids product.
There are other "organic" polyureas that have longer cure times but don't have the build and/or resistive qualities of the PRO versions.

Dont mean to hijack the thread, but what's the best product for my new three car garage floor that was poured yesterday? There's so much information out there I don't know where to start. :)

I don't plan on doing any mechanical work on it if hat makes a difference.

If you are in a rush we sell 'green' concrete coating systems that can be applied to newly poured concrete. More expensive than traditional systems though. Please call us for info since this product is not on our website, as are many other of our specialty products.

You could seal your floor, you could stain your floor or apply epoxy or other product to your floor. Depends if your going for function or appearance. Like Legacy said search the forum & see what you like

My Polyurea floor is being installed this week, I can post up some pictures when it is done but I will not have any opinion on durability yet since it is new.

My company gets marketed to by many coatings vendors, including polyurea vendors/manufacturers. One of the commonalities between the polyurea guys is the intricate install (consisting of the two-component product being mixed and heated with the equipment to a very specific mixture and temperature at the tip of the gun), and that polyurea does not resist tire pickup. I'm not sure how well this would go DIY or in a garage environment.

I have a citadel flooring poly floor... make sure the company you use has lots of experience in it. The guys that did mine said they did a few of them before mine but Im not really happy with mine. Its chipping up and showing scratches from my GFs car pulling into her stall. I also have some slight bubbling from moisture getting caught under some rubber mats I placed down because the floor is also very slippery when wet. When i told the company they came and looked and didn't hear back from them. Now I hear they aren't doing epoxy/paint/poly floors now. Kind of pissed because Citadel claims a 20 year warranty on their product.

Some pics for you....

The contractor used does just that, polyurea flooring, industrial and residential.
And has a good reputation in the area.

I wouldnt tackle a project like this by myself.
Thanks

PS: you know that someone will ask about more pics of that chopper huh?:beer:

Let me clarify a few things. The polyurea you are referring to which goes through a machine that sprays it at high pressure (about 1,800 psi) and high temperature (about 150 degrees) is not the same as a polyaspartic polyurea that is rolled on with roller covers and typically used as a flooring product. However, both types of polyurea will resist hot tire pickup. The spray polyurea is WAY stronger than a polyaspartic polyurea.

Nice stable buddy. Too bad you chose a hack to apply your floor. This should serve as a lesson for everyone. The product is only as good as the applicator installing it. Make sure you see their work...not new ones but older ones, 3 to 5 years old.

nice shots and thanks for the info. Are you an installer by trade?

Very nice rides in there, and yes it's still on topic.
Too bad about your contractor, I did check out the guy I'll use and he's been installing a lot of those coatings.
I hope things will go smoothly.

Ya Im going to research more coaters in my area.... i'd love to do white or light grey again as long as it doesn't scratch under or chip up. Ive since started using rubber mats to park the bikes on so it doesn't scratch into the coating... but like i said in some areas where water got trapped you can see tiny bubbles in the coating. I seriously think they didn't put it on thick enough because in one spot I can sort of see through it and see the old concrete. I would love to do this same flooring in my new garage because when its clean it looks so good IMO.

Here you can see the mats ive been using.... this is a pic i took last year.

Here it is. I like it, it isn't the exact color and finish I wanted but it still looks pretty good.

Did you do a clear topcoat? I looked in a polyurea coating and the samples didn't include the topcoat. Seemed like you could dig out the chips with your fingernail. I suppose and broadcast floor requires a topcoat if you want it smooth. Floor looks great!

You just use a clear polyaspartic polyurea topcoat. It's the same as the other coats, just unpigmented.
