The properties of polyaspartic are, quite simply, a force to be reckoned with. Eat your heart out, UV rays, there’s no fading the colours and vibrancy – no matter how hard or long you try. Flooring experts, Shimicoat, are delighted to add this chemically resistant, uber-tough and wholly customisable option to their range, with a full inventory to suit every installation need.
The addition of polyaspartic resin to the Shimicoat inventory provides professional and DIY flooring installers with further choices for their bespoke resin floor projects. This Western Australian company is well known for its top-quality epoxy products that they ship nationwide, but by including polyaspartic into the mix, tradies can further tailor the options that they offer to their clients. The attributes of polyaspartic and its high level of stability make it the ideal surface for exterior use. While using the word ‘revolutionary’ in the context of flooring might seem a little OTT, it’s a phrase that installers are increasingly using as they get turned onto the benefits of polyaspartic.
Shimicoat has been in the resin flooring industry for decades. Their complete range has been curated over time to provide both professionals and keen DIYers with the products they need to create the perfect floor. Bringing their polyaspartic range to the mainstream not only upscales the quality and longevity of exterior flooring projects, but also ups the ante for floors that need to survive intense use and/or be subjected to chemical attack. Garage and warehouse floors, in particular, are examples where polyaspartic stands head and shoulders above other choices. This is partly thanks to its incredible resilience to chemicals, oil, grease and other contaminants, but also down to its robust makeup that resists scratches, abrasion and other damage,
The toughness of polyaspartic flooring and its versatile indoor-outdoor use makes it a popular choice for high-traffic areas that need to withstand abrasion and heavy vehicular or pedestrian footfall. It comes in a virtually infinite range of colours, with the ability to personalise with flake coatings, bespoke lineage and demarcation as required. Also, adding anti-slip properties makes it safe in all weathers – and there’s always the comfort that no matter how much sunshine, wind or other natural elements are thrown at it, the colour/s won’t yellow or fade over time.
Polyaspartic resin is extremely flexible, allowing it to contract and expand according to the ambient temperature. This means that a well-performed installation won’t only last for many years but will do so with minimal maintenance. In most cases, all that’s needed to keep it looking its best is a daily sweep and/or mop, along with removing any chemical, oil, or grease spills that occur.
Installation advantages are also plentiful. One reason tradespeople love working with polyaspartic flooring is the speed at which it cures. Unlike any other option, it’ll be ready to walk on in as little as four hours. Add in that Shimicoat Polyaspartic flooring is solvent-free and contains zero VOCs, and it strikes a big win as a truly environmentally responsible flooring option.
The Shimicoat team has designed a wide range of polyaspartic products, including swimming pool polyaspartic, slip-resistant polyaspartic, tinted polyaspartic, line marking, fiberglass, laminated, ultra-clear, marine and, of course, complete flooring kits for which the company is famous for.
