Polyurea is a spray-applied coating that stays flexible after it cures, which matters most on exterior concrete that expands and contracts through Gilbert's summer heat swings. A rigid epoxy coating can crack when a slab moves underneath it; polyurea moves with the concrete instead of fighting it.

That flexibility, paired with a cure time measured in hours rather than days, makes it the system Gilbert Epoxy Elite reaches for on patios, pool decks, and any exterior slab that sits in direct sun most of the day.

How it works

How our Polyurea Floor Coatings process works

  1. Substrate Assessment photo
    Step 1

    Substrate Assessment

    The concrete is tested for moisture and strength before coating application.

  2. Surface Grinding photo
    Step 2

    Surface Grinding

    Mechanical grinding prepares the surface profile for strong material bonding.

  3. Joint & Crack Sealing photo
    Step 3

    Joint & Crack Sealing

    Expansion joints and cracks are sealed to prevent coating failure over time.

  4. Spray-Applied Base Layer photo
    Step 4

    Spray-Applied Base Layer

    A sprayed polyurea base layer is applied for rapid, even coverage.

  5. Reinforcement Layer photo
    Step 5

    Reinforcement Layer

    An additional layer is added in high-traffic zones for extra durability.

  6. Fast Final Cure photo
    Step 6

    Fast Final Cure

    The coating cures within a short window, minimizing facility downtime.

FAQs

Polyurea Floor Coatings FAQs

What is 20 times stronger than epoxy?

Pure polyurea is often cited as significantly stronger and more flexible than standard epoxy in independent abrasion and tensile testing, which is why it's the preferred choice for exterior slabs that flex with temperature swings.

Can epoxy coatings handle pool deck chlorine and sun exposure?

Standard epoxy can degrade faster under chlorine splash and constant UV than a polyurea or polyaspartic topcoat. For pool decks specifically, a UV-stable polyurea system holds color and texture longer.

How do you keep an epoxy patio from getting too hot to walk on barefoot?

Lighter color pigments and a cool-deck style texture additive reduce surface heat buildup compared to a dark, smooth coating. We can discuss color and texture options during your estimate.

How much does Epoxy Flooring cost in Gilbert?

Polyurea systems typically cost more per square foot than standard epoxy due to spray equipment and faster-reacting materials. Your free estimate accounts for square footage and prep condition.

Do I need a permit for Epoxy Flooring?

Coating an existing patio or pool deck is cosmetic work and usually doesn't require a permit. Any work tied to pool equipment or structural deck repair should be checked with the town first.

Is DIY Epoxy Flooring a good idea?

Polyurea requires spray equipment and fast, even application that most homeowners don't have access to. This is one of the few systems that's effectively pro-only in practice.
