Floor coating questions, answered
Everything you want to know before you coat your floor. Still have questions? We're a phone call away.
The essentials
Professionally installed and properly prepped, our flake and polyaspartic systems are built to last for decades — and we back our workmanship for life with our lifetime warranty.
Coatings fail when they're applied over unprepared concrete. We diamond-grind every floor to create a mechanical bond and repair cracks and pits first. It's the single biggest reason a floor lasts versus peels.
Often yes. We'll evaluate the existing coating during your estimate — if it's sound we can prep and re-coat; if it's failing we'll grind it off and start fresh.
Most polyaspartic floors handle foot traffic the next day and vehicle traffic within 24–48 hours. Epoxy and stain systems may need a little longer to fully cure.
Yes — we offer financing options on larger projects. Ask about current plans when you request your estimate.
We serve the entire Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, Arlington, McKinney, and surrounding communities.
Yes. Astra Coatings is fully insured, and our installers are trained and experienced professionals. We're happy to provide proof of insurance.
Completely free and no-obligation. We'll measure, assess your slab, review options, and give you a written quote.
Service-specific questions
Flake Flooring
Foot traffic the next day; vehicle traffic in about 24–48 hours depending on temperature.
No. Our mechanical diamond-grind prep and commercial-grade resins are why our floors don't peel or hot-tire lift.
Absolutely — we carry 30+ flake blends and can build a custom blend for you.
Metallic Epoxy
The standard finish is glossy; we can add a clear anti-slip additive for wet or commercial areas.
Yes. We bring physical sample boards and will pour a custom sample on request for large jobs.
It's interior-only. For exterior or wet decks we recommend our flake or deck coating systems.
Solid Color Coatings
Standard safety and neutral colors are stocked; custom color matching is available for an upcharge.
Polyaspartic cures faster and resists UV; epoxy builds thicker. We'll recommend based on your space and downtime tolerance.
Yes — we install seamless, sanitary, slip-resistant systems suited to commercial kitchens.
Stained Concrete
Yes, if the concrete is bare and in sound condition. We assess the slab during your estimate.
Acid stains are intentionally variegated and unique; dyes offer more consistency. We'll set expectations with samples.
Sweep regularly and damp-mop with a pH-neutral cleaner; re-coat the sealer every few years for high-traffic floors.
Outdoor Waterproofed Decks
Properly installed over a sound substrate, our membrane systems are designed to waterproof the deck and protect the space below.
Often yes. We'll inspect the substrate to determine whether a re-coat or full re-deck is the right fix.
We tune the texture to the use — pool decks and stairs get a more aggressive non-slip profile.
