Polyaspartic Floor Coating
When it comes to exterior and/or high-traffic flooring that offers the ultimate longevity, no matter what Mother Nature might throw at it, then the advanced properties of polyaspartic is a standout option. Great looks combined with truly long-lasting attributes are the hallmark of a top-quality outdoor or indoor floor coating.

Polyaspartic floor coating is a relative newcomer in the world of resin floors. However, the robust properties, fast-cure and incredible abilities to withstand heavy traffic and UV rays make it an ideal choice for a wide range of situations. Being as Australia is blessed with multiple hours of annual sunshine, any flooring that’s exposed to sunlight (either outside or through windows) needs to have superior anti-yellowing properties. Polyaspartic provides a standout solution over other flooring choices. Its chemical makeup provides incredibly high stability. This makes it ideally suited for any exterior location as it’s resistant to sunlight fade and other environmental weathering.
