Your Garage is the Home Base for Every Adventure – Make Sure It’s Ready
Not all garage coatings are created equal. At Horizons Epoxy, we specialize in both epoxy and polyaspartic floor systems—each with unique benefits. Whether you’re looking for high performance, quick turnaround, or budget-friendly durability, we’ll help you choose the option that fits your garage and your goals.
Epoxy vs. Polyaspartic, Which is Better?
Not sure whether epoxy or polyaspartic is right for your garage? While both offer strong, seamless protection for concrete floors, they differ in performance and price. Epoxy is a budget-friendly option with a thick, durable surface ideal for low-traffic or fully shaded garages. It takes longer to cure and is more vulnerable to UV damage, but it’s a solid choice when cost is the top priority.
Polyaspartic, on the other hand, is the premium choice. It cures in just hours, resists yellowing from sunlight, and stands up better to abrasion, temperature swings, and moisture—all common in Colorado garages. Though it comes at a higher upfront cost, its long-term durability and performance often make it the better investment for most homeowners.

What’s the difference between epoxy and polyaspartic coatings?
Epoxy is a thick, durable coating that’s ideal for budget-conscious homeowners. It cures slowly and is sensitive to UV rays, which can cause yellowing over time. Polyaspartic, by contrast, cures within hours, offers superior durability, and is fully UV-resistant—making it better suited for long-term performance and Colorado’s changing weather.
Is polyaspartic better than epoxy?
In most cases, yes. Polyaspartic coatings offer greater flexibility, faster cure times, stronger UV protection, and better resistance to scratches, chemicals, and hot tire pickup. That said, epoxy still performs well in shaded or low-traffic garages and is often chosen for its lower upfront cost.
How long do epoxy and polyaspartic garage floors last?
With proper installation, epoxy floors can last 5–10 years or more, while polyaspartic floors often exceed 15 years of reliable performance. Polyaspartic is less likely to peel, fade, or crack over time, which contributes to its longer lifespan.
Which garage floor coating is best for Colorado weather?
Polyaspartic is usually the better option for Colorado homes due to its ability to cure in cold temperatures and resist damage from snowmelt, road salts, and UV exposure. Epoxy can still be a good choice for enclosed garages with minimal sun and moisture exposure.
