Ask any garage flooring installer what the best garage floor coating in 2024 is, and they'll probably say "polyaspartic." Polyaspartic coatings were first developed in the 1990s specifically to be the best concrete coating on the market, addressing the problems that plagued alternative materials like epoxy and MMA. For nearly all garage uses, polyaspartic coatings are a "best of all worlds" option that gives you better strength and durability, but without being harmed by chemicals or sunlight.

With a polyaspartic flooring product such as Forever Floor, you'll have a garage floor that can last for decades - potentially for the entire lifespan of your house. Even better, polyaspartic coatings require very little maintenance and have an extremely low total cost of ownership over time.

However, there are still a few things you'd need to do, to ensure your polyaspartic floor remains in great shape for years. Here are the most important things to know!

Care Tips for Polyaspartic Flooring

1 - Hire professionals for installation

Properly installing concrete coatings is a tricky task, and it's not something that can be DIY'ed - at least not with any guarantee of success. You want experienced garage flooring installers who know how to work with resinous materials. They'll ensure that your polyaspartic floor starts off in the best possible shape, ready for decades of service.

Otherwise, a poorly installed polyaspartic floor could develop bubbles, cracks, or simply start coming loose from the concrete after a short time.

2 - Basic cleaning

While polyaspartic floors are highly resistant to most serious damage. To keep your floor looking its best it's important to sweep the floor on a regular basis, to remove any dirt and debris or simply hosing the floor down is another option. After all, it's waterproof.

When you need to properly clean the floor, this can be done with basic soap, water, and a squeegee. 

3 - Clean up spilled chemicals quickly

Polyaspartic flooring is highly resistant to chemical damage, but that doesn't mean you should leave spills such as oil leaks sitting around. Always be sure to clean up any spills quickly, particularly spills of acidic materials such as battery acid.
