Understanding the Difference
A garage floor coating bonds with concrete to create a protective layer, while a sealant merely repels moisture. Both have benefits—but Utah’s freeze-thaw climate often demands more robust protection.
Garage Floor Coatings
- Includes epoxy, polyurea, or polyaspartic systems.
- Long-lasting (10+ years).
- Resists stains, impact, and deicing salts.
- Can include anti-slip additives.
Sealants
- Easier and cheaper to apply.
- Shorter lifespan (1–3 years).
- Works best for mild weather or low-traffic garages.
Which is Best for Utah?
Given the snow, salt, and moisture, coatings are the better choice for long-term value. They create a barrier against freeze damage and chemical wear.
Benefits of Upgrading to Coatings
- Better traction in icy months
- Stronger protection against salt corrosion
- Easy to clean and maintain
