Have you been thinking about doing a DIY epoxy floor project? Or maybe you’ve been thinking about a DIY polyurea floor? Either way, you may be wondering if doing a DIY home project is worth it.
While you could be saving time doing it yourself, is it worth it? Or would a professional be your best bet?
Keep reading to learn why hiring a professional for your flooring may be your best bet!
Why Use Polyurea?
For starters, if you have been thinking about using epoxy for your flooring, you may want to reconsider. You should definitely be using polyurea coating.
But why?
Polyurea coatings are better in a plethora of ways. Here are just a few reasons why:
- Polyurea is about 20 times stronger than epoxy
- Polyurea is resistant to UV light damage instead of how epoxy fades over time and turns a yellow color
- An added extra layer will protect against moisture that can cause damage
- Polyurea cures at a much faster rate than epoxy so there’s less time for bubbling
- Resistance to stains
With so many benefits of polyurea, it is clearly the best choice to use for a DIY home project!
Professional or DIY Polyurea Floor?
While you may think that DIY is the way to go, professional coatings will be much better in the long run. Here are a few benefits to using a professional service for your garage floor coating needs.
Correct Preparation
For starters, the garage floor will be properly prepared for the coating. There’s a mechanical process to repair the concrete that you may not be able to do yourself, especially if you are not a professional in the field.
Design
There’s much more to coatings than a literal coat of polyurea. By using the professionals, you can actually incorporate a design into the coating to make the floor look how you want it to look.
Safety
If you are not a professional when it comes to garage floor coatings, you may not know exactly what you are doing which can lead to mistakes. When a professional coats your garage floor, they ensure that safety is their first priority.
Save Time and Even Money
Hiring a professional will also make sure that you save time for your other everyday tasks. Instead of needing to set a time aside on your calendar for your DIY home project, you can continue with your normal schedule. Not only that, but if you were to make a mistake on the project, you would be out even more time.
While you may think you’re saving money by doing it yourself, if you do happen to make a mistake, this can turn out to be even more costly.
