FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The answers center around performance properties, longevity of the coating, aesthetics, return to service and cost. Each impacts the owners in what they pay initially, how long it will last and what the aesthetics look like after 1 to 2 years and even 10 to 20!

So every home owner should ask themselves … what is most important?   the lowest price or the highest quality coating system?  Not always is the highest price the best quality system!  We are proud of provide you with answers to all the questions you need to make an educated decision where your hard earned dollars are best spent!

Price competition is driving the initial installation cost downward. The only way to lower the price of a completed floor coating is to reduce the material cost and or lower the thickness of the coating. If lowest price is the owner’s objective, they have a choice between an epoxy/polyaspartic or polyurea/polyaspartic system. Remember the possible reasons behind lowest price are lower product cost of epoxy and polyurea because they are aromatic in chemical makeup and yellow and discolor which is why many are excluding yellowing and discoloration from their warranties. The epoxy and polyurea are the resinous part of the coating and they can be further modified with cheap plasticizers and other reactive resins.

The other is the colorant and pigment part of the coating representing cheap low-quality fillers that only increase the solids content. These consist of either talc (baby powder), calcium carbonate or barium sulfate and they detract from quality performance. To gain a competitive edge by having the lowest price, an epoxy or polyurea formulator can easily do the above and disregard quality. Remember the saying “You get what you pay for”. Another way to lower the selling price to the owner is to apply a thinner polyaspartic clear coat by 40 to 50% less.

Many variables go into pricing: Location (distance from the shop), City, Size, Condition of concrete (new or old), any old epoxy coatings removal, cracks to repair etc. Your money is going towards a valuable product with less labor vs cheaper products and more labor hours.

A Flexmar NextGen all 100% polyaspartic coating system offers the greatest Floor Value for the owner. This Floor Value is the coating material cost that remains on the floor after the applicator leaves the premises. With the others there is a greater application cost and not the material left on the floor. For the assurance of a residential application to last for well over 20 years the owner can take comfort that a like-new appearance will remain over this length of time. This comes at just a small higher up-front cost but over the years the owner will not have to confront any yellowing and discoloration issues. An additional benefit to the homeowner is they are getting a commercial quality coating system for their residential garage floor.

Your Garage Cave leaves the value on the floor with 100% polyaspartic on the base and the top leaving our floors with 30% Thicker than our competitors.

Flexmar Polyaspartic flooring performance is the highest in the industry, eliminating the need for expensive maintenance regiments.

No waxing, polishing, buffing or resealing necessary! Clean with water and mild detergents for a long-lasting beautiful floor.

NONE! Clear polyaspartic topcoats do not block or filter UV rays of sunlight. They will pass through and attack the epoxy and polyurea resin binders of the coatings. This is proven in a 500 hr study conducted by epoxy and polyurea pigmented primer coatings do yellow from UV rays of sunlight. They yellow, fade and oxidize leading to micro cracking and weakening their adhesion to concrete.

Absolutely for your Garage Floor coating, patios, driveways, walkways and more.

A Flexmar floor you can walk on in a few hours; garage door stays 6-12 inches overnight. You are ready to move in the next morning!

The biggest misconception is that a Polyaspartic (Aliphatic) over a Polyurea/Epoxy (Aromatic) is going to make that basecoat UV stable. 2. Epoxy and Polyurea have strong fumes which lingers. 3. Epoxy coatings take longer to harden. 4. Epoxy and Polyurea are temporary solutions. Yellowing and discoloration requires replacing the floor and costly maintenance.

Hire Garage Cave because they only use FLEXMAR® floors for a true 100% polyaspartic. There are no hidden anything, no water barrier fees or extra costs, no recoat or resealing fees. No extra fees to store your belongings for several days because a true polyaspartic floor on base and top you can walk on in a few hours.

Your Garage Cave provides Value, Service and Quality to your home!

Yes. Flexmar has the highest-level solid content of a true Polyaspartic 93% which makes it thicker. There are hybrid polyaspartics what have been able to copy old school technology 2-1 ratio and a less than desirable number of solids.

This is important when learning the difference in the Abrasion and Wear Resistance and how long your floor will last. Overall, polyaspartics on the base and top coat are the ideal choice for anyone looking to add Value to your home.

YES, A true 100% Flexmar Polyaspartics in high humidity can be walked on in an hour. Areas like Arizona 2-3 hours. See the chart for epoxy times or other Hybrid Polyaspartics.

Absolutely NOT! Flexmar Next Gen Polyapsartics are 100% Aliphatic, UV stable and does not require additives to achieve a temporary fix. Polyurea and Epoxy are Aromatic and if used on the basecoat even with a polyaspartic over will turn Yellow. The chemist provided a video to back up our comparisons.

No Never, get it done right the first time with YGC and do not risk having to REDO your floors and that added expense.

A finished FLEXMAR color flake floor is bright, glossy, and has just a slight texture to it. And the floor will retain its appearance—without yellowing or fading due to age or exposure to fluorescent lighting or sunlight—for years to come, with no buffing, polishing, waxing, or re-sealing.

Clients call Your Garage Cave and have us REDO Garage Floors every day from failures of epoxy and polyurea.

Easy broom sweep, mop, or blow out, are the best care options. Unlike epoxy, a polyasparic floor will withstand power washing with no peeling. Dawn dish soap and water down simple green are the best supplies to clean a polyaspartic floor. Nothing harsh needed.

Our Top Rated Flexmar polyaspartic concrete coatings are virtually maintenance free. Our coatings do not allow liquids to penetrate, for example: oils, kerosene and gasoline. Paper towel clean up.

Polyaspartic technology is the newest of the three. A patent was issued to Bayer Material Science now Covestro in the early 1990’s. It was originally introduced into the transportation market to increase solids content in polyurethane coatings. Later it was introduced into the corrosion protection market on metal substrates to speed up the cure time.

Then, Jack Bracco with a small innovative start-up company, Flexmar Coatings, introduced the technology to the concrete floor market at the World of Concrete in year 2006 in Las Vegas. It was the world’s newest technology and was ideal for the flooring market because it could be applied in one day, cure quickly and still return to service that same day. We coined the term “1 Day Floor” installation. We could possibly break the epoxy paradigm. We were named a Most Innovative Product award the following year 2007.
