Polyaspartic & Polyurea Coatings in Mississauga

Common questions about polyaspartic & polyurea coatings

How much does polyaspartic or polyurea flooring cost in Mississauga?

Most residential garage jobs run somewhere in the range of $6 to $12 per square foot depending on prep work, number of coats, and whether decorative flake or quartz is added. Commercial polyurea systems with heavier traffic requirements tend to cost more per square foot because they need thicker builds and often a moisture-mitigation primer.

How long does a polyaspartic coating actually last before it needs redoing?

A properly installed polyaspartic system on a residential garage floor commonly holds up for 10 to 15 years or longer with normal use, though heavy vehicle traffic, road salt, and impact from dropped tools will wear it faster in high-traffic spots near the door.

What should I expect on install day?

Expect the crew to grind the concrete with a diamond grinder (not just acid etch it), fill cracks and pits, vacuum the dust, then apply the base coat and topcoat in the same day for most polyaspartic jobs. Because it cures fast, you typically can't walk on it for several hours and shouldn't park a vehicle on it for at least 24 to 72 hours.

How can I tell if a polyaspartic or polyurea job was done well?

Look for an even, consistent sheen with no bubbling, no visible trowel marks, and flake broadcast that's evenly distributed rather than clumped. Ask whether they ground the concrete mechanically before coating and what mil thickness they used, since thin, rushed coats are the most common reason these floors peel or wear through early.
