One-day floors. Year-round installs. Even at zero degrees.
Polyaspartic is the most advanced floor coating chemistry available — UV-stable, faster-curing than epoxy, and the only system that installs cleanly in sub-freezing temperatures. The right choice when downtime, durability, or winter scheduling matters.
The chemistry that replaced epoxy in the mountain west.
Epoxy still has its place, but polyaspartic outperforms it in nearly every category that matters for Utah and Wyoming floors: speed, cold-weather cure, UV stability, and impact resistance. It’s why most of our premium installs use polyaspartic for the topcoat — and increasingly for the base coat too.
Same-Day Install
Most garages start at 8am and you’re walking on the finished floor by evening. Vehicles back in 24-48 hours. Compared to multi-day epoxy installs, the difference is dramatic.
Sub-Freezing Cure
Standard epoxy needs 50°F+ to cure. Polyaspartic cures down to 0°F. That means winter installs in Star Valley and Heber Valley aren’t just possible — they’re routine.
UV-Stable Color
Epoxy yellows and degrades under UV light — that’s why it’s bad outdoors. Polyaspartic is fully UV-stable. Sun exposure doesn’t change the color or break down the coating.
Stronger Bond
Polyaspartic chemistry creates a tighter molecular bond to concrete than standard epoxy. Better adhesion means better long-term performance — especially under thermal stress.
Impact-Resistant
Drop a wrench, kick a tire iron, drag a snow shovel across the floor. Polyaspartic flexes slightly under impact rather than chipping the way harder epoxy systems do.
Better Chemical Resistance
Oil, antifreeze, brake fluid, road salt, household chemicals — polyaspartic shrugs them off. Wipe and go, no permanent staining or etching.
Polyaspartic vs standard epoxy.
Both are professional-grade systems. Here’s the honest comparison so you can pick the right one for your project — not every job needs polyaspartic.
The right system for these jobs.
Polyaspartic isn’t always the answer — but in these scenarios, nothing else competes.
Star Valley, Heber, Park City installs from October through March. Standard epoxy can’t cure in these conditions — polyaspartic doesn’t care.
Patios, pool decks, walkways, porches. UV-stability is non-negotiable outdoors. Epoxy fails within a season; polyaspartic holds for years.
When downtime equals lost revenue, one-day install is worth the upgrade cost. Restaurants, retail floors, fitness studios.
When you want the best system available, regardless of cost. Mountain homes, vacation properties, custom builds in Park City and Heber.
Five steps. One day. Done right.
Polyaspartic’s fast cure isn’t an excuse for fast prep. Our process is the same as for epoxy — only the chemistry moves faster.
Move & Mask
Items relocated, walls and adjacent surfaces masked off for clean lines.
Diamond Grind
Concrete pores opened with diamond tooling. Same prep as our epoxy installs.
Repair & Test
Cracks chased and filled. Moisture tested. Slab prepared for full bond.
Base + Broadcast
Pigmented polyaspartic base coat. Flake broadcast to refusal if selected.
Clear Topcoat
Final clear polyaspartic seal. Walk-on within hours. Done in one day.
Every Hoopes Brothers polyaspartic install comes with a 15-year written warranty covering peeling, delamination, hot-tire pickup, and UV color change.
The warranty is honored by the same family that installed your floor — Harrison and Brigg, same phone number. No third-party contracts, no fine-print exclusions.
Full terms provided with every estimate.
Quick answers before you call.
Depends on your situation. For a basic indoor 2-car garage that you can leave alone for a few days, standard epoxy might be the better value.
For winter installs, outdoor surfaces, commercial spaces, or premium residential, polyaspartic is worth the upgrade every time. The downtime savings alone often justify it for commercial.
We’ll tell you honestly at the estimate which system makes more sense for your project.
Yes. We do winter installs throughout Utah and Wyoming using cold-cure polyaspartic systems rated down to 0°F.
The slab needs to be dry and the space sheltered, but ambient temperature isn’t the limiting factor. Star Valley garages in January? No problem.
Winter scheduling has an upside: shorter lead times and you walk into spring with a finished floor.
Working window is roughly 30-45 minutes per coat (it’s fast — installers have to know what they’re doing). Tack-free in 1-2 hours. Walk-on traffic in 4-8 hours. Vehicles in 24-48 hours.
For comparison, standard epoxy cures over 24-72 hours per coat, requiring 5-7 days before vehicle return.
Yes — it’s actually the only coating chemistry rated for outdoor concrete in our climate. Standard epoxy degrades under UV; polyaspartic doesn’t.
We install polyaspartic on patios, pool decks, porches, walkways, and outdoor entertainment areas regularly. UV-stable, freeze-thaw rated, and slip-resistant when properly textured.
Polyaspartic typically runs 20-40% more per square foot than standard epoxy.
For a 2-car garage: epoxy systems start around $2,000-$2,800, polyaspartic systems start around $2,800-$4,000 for solid color, $3,500-$5,200 with full flake broadcast.
The premium pays for the chemistry, the speed, and the year-round install capability.
