The Science Behind Our Superior Results

Not all concrete coatings are created equal. While many contractors still rely on outdated epoxy formulations, Duration Concrete Coatings has embraced cutting-edge polyaspartic technology that delivers measurably better performance.

Why Duralast® Polyaspartic Outperforms Traditional Epoxy

  • Rapid Cure Time: Traditional epoxy requires 3-7 days before full use; our system allows same-day or next-day use in most cases
  • UV Stability: Unlike epoxy that yellows and fades from sunlight, our UV-stable formula maintains its appearance for years
  • Superior Flexibility: Accommodates concrete expansion and contraction during seasonal temperature changes, preventing cracking
  • Exceptional Chemical Resistance: Stands up to automotive fluids, pool chemicals, household cleaners, and industrial solvents
  • Impact Resistance: 6X stronger molecular bonds resist chipping, peeling, and damage from dropped tools or heavy equipment
  • Temperature Tolerance: Can be applied in a wider range of temperatures than epoxy, ensuring optimal results year-round
Real-World Performance: Our garage floor coatings regularly exceed 20+ years of service life, even under daily vehicle traffic. Outdoor surfaces like patios and pool decks maintain their beauty for 15+ years despite constant UV exposure and weather extremes.

Our Proven 6-Step Process

Quality doesn't happen by accident. Every Duration project follows our meticulously refined installation protocol—developed over thousands of applications to ensure consistent, exceptional results.

 

1. Diamond Grinding Preparation

We use professional diamond grinders to thoroughly profile your concrete surface, creating the ideal texture for maximum adhesion. This critical step removes contaminants and opens concrete pores.

2. Concrete Reconstruction

Cracks, spalls, and damaged areas are expertly repaired using specialized concrete menders. We address underlying issues before coating to ensure long-term structural integrity.

3. Polyurea Base Coat Application

Our proprietary polyurea base coat—6X stronger than epoxy—forms an impenetrable bond with your concrete. This foundation layer provides the exceptional strength and chemical resistance our system is known for.

4. Hand-Applied Vinyl Chip Layer

Decorative vinyl chips are carefully broadcast by hand, ensuring even coverage and your desired aesthetic. These chips add texture, hide minor imperfections, and provide additional slip resistance.

5. Excess Chip Removal

Loose chips are meticulously scraped away, creating the perfect texture for safety and appearance. This step enhances slip resistance and prepares the surface for the final seal.

6. UV-Stable Clear Coat Sealing

Our polyaspartic clear coat locks everything in place with a stunning, wet-look finish. This UV-stable topcoat prevents yellowing and provides the final layer of chemical and abrasion resistance.

"I LOVE my garage floor. I'm 73, just downsized to a new construction villa, and have wanted one of these floors for YEARS. I'm so glad I decided to do it before I moved in. The guys were fast and were very particular about how it turned out. I couldn't be happier."

"I contacted several contractors and only 3 got back with me. Dan stood out by leaps and bounds. After they finished coating our patio it looked GREAT! Dan personally stopped by to inspect the job. He noticed a few imperfections and within days his team came by to fix it. Duration absolutely stands by the product and service."

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do Duration's concrete coatings last?

 
With proper installation and maintenance, our Duralast® Polyaspartic coatings typically last 15-20+ years. Garage floors often exceed 20 years even under daily vehicle traffic, while outdoor surfaces exposed to UV rays and weather maintain their appearance for 15+ years. Our lifetime warranty demonstrates our confidence in the longevity of our systems.
 

What makes Duralast® different from epoxy products available at home improvement stores?

 
Retail epoxy kits are thin, single-component systems that lack professional surface preparation and often fail within 1-2 years. Our Duralast® Polyaspartic system is 6X stronger, utilizes multi-component professional-grade materials, requires specialized equipment and training to apply, and includes comprehensive surface preparation that ensures proper adhesion. The difference in longevity and performance is dramatic—think decades versus months.
 

How long does installation take, and when can I use my floor?

 
Most residential projects are completed in 1 day. Our rapid-cure polyaspartic system allows light foot traffic after 24 hours and full use (including vehicles) after 48-72 hours. This is significantly faster than traditional epoxy, which requires 5-7 days before full use. For commercial projects, we often work overnight or on weekends to minimize business disruption.
 

Can Duration coat my existing damaged concrete?

 
Yes! Our comprehensive preparation process includes repairing cracks, spalling, and other damage before coating. Our concrete reconstruction techniques restore structural integrity and create a smooth, level surface. However, extremely deteriorated concrete may require replacement—we'll assess your situation during the free consultation and provide honest recommendations.

What warranty coverage does Duration provide?

 
We offer lifetime warranty coverage on our Duralast® Polyaspartic system that protects against peeling, bubbling, and adhesion failure when installed according to our specifications. The comprehensive warranty demonstrates our confidence in both our materials and installation expertise. During your free consultation, we'll explain the complete warranty terms for your specific project.
