Your concrete floor has been left in disrepair for years.
My floor has several cracks
My floor has oil or tire marks on it
There is dirt and mold in several spots
It is a real pain for me to clean
Our Floor Coatings for Concrete Can Help
Installing floor coatings for concrete in your garage, all in one day is what we do. Your dirty, ugly, dingy floor is transformed into a bright, sleek, modern new floor and completely transforms your space into a place you'll want to be in.
I've tried to set up my workshop in my garage on countless occasions. After installing a floor coating for myself, it motivates me to not only set up a workshop, but to actually go out into the space and use it.
So many times we just write of the garage as a storage space, when in reality, it can be added living square footage with the proper product. Let Floor Shield of Orlando give you back that living space.

What is Polyaspartic?
Polyaspartic coatings represent the latest evolution in floor coatings for concrete, offering superior performance compared to traditional epoxy systems. As documented in Floor Shield's testing results, their proprietary polyaspartic coating system demonstrates 4500-5000 tensile strength compared to 3600 for standard polyurea systems, showcasing its exceptional durability.
Unlike epoxy floor coatings, which can take 24-48 hours to cure, Floor Shield's two-part polyaspartic coating system achieves rapid curing times of 4-6 hours while maintaining superior adhesion properties. According to Floor Shield's testing data, their polyaspartic system achieves a concrete adhesion pull-off strength of 442 PSI with concrete failure, significantly outperforming traditional systems at 318 PSI.
A common misconception in the industry suggests that epoxy's longer cure time results in better adhesion. However, Floor Shield's laboratory testing demonstrates this is false. The superior chemical bonding properties of polyaspartic coatings achieve better adhesion despite faster cure times. This is particularly relevant in Central Florida's climate, where high humidity and temperatures can affect coating performance.
Floor Shield of Orlando's two-part polyaspartic system offers several advantages over epoxy:
-
UV stability (unlike epoxy which yellows over time)
-
Superior wear resistance with two topcoats for maximum durability
-
Zero VOCs for minimal odor during application
-
Excellent chemical and stain resistance, including hot tire pickup
-
Same-day return to service, crucial for both residential and commercial applications
The system's performance is particularly impressive in Florida's challenging climate conditions. The coating's ability to maintain flexibility while providing superior hardness makes it ideal for both interior and exterior applications, from garage floors to pool decks. Its rapid cure time also provides a significant advantage during Florida's unpredictable summer weather patterns, allowing installations to be completed before afternoon thunderstorms.
According to Floor Shield's laboratory testing performed by Integrated Linear Dynamics in Newnan, GA, their polyaspartic system significantly outperforms traditional coatings in key performance metrics, including abrasion resistance and UV stability. These results validate the system's suitability for Florida's intense sun exposure and high-traffic areas.
For both residential and commercial applications, Floor Shield's polyaspartic coating system represents the most advanced solution available in concrete floor coatings, combining rapid installation with superior long-term performance.
