Introduction: Don't Overcomplicate Simple Things

Do you want to refresh your backyard patio, balcony, or garage floor but feel overwhelmed by terms like "two-component," "epoxy hardener," and "chemical ratios"?

Let's get to know this single-component water-based floor system designed specifically for those who "don't want the hassle."

Chapter 3: Why This System Is Better for Most Homes

Traditional Two-Component Epoxy

Our Single-Component System

Open and use directly

Must be used within 1 hour after mixing

Can continue using tomorrow if needed

Tools are hard to clean (require solvents)

Tools clean easily with just water

Has strong chemical odors

Minimal to no odor

Strict temperature/humidity requirements

More forgiving application range

 

5x More Durable Than Regular Paint

Some ask: "Why not just use exterior wall paint?"

The difference is:

Regular paint: Begins to chalk and peel in 1-2 years

Our system: Still looks great after 5-8 years

Pregnant moms can stay home

Kids don't need to be sent away

Pets don't need temporary boarding

Neighbors won't complain about "chemical smells"

Chapter 4: Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is single-component really durable enough?

Yes. For typical home use, our testing shows:

Normal foot traffic: Lasts 8-10 years without issues

Parking use: 5-8 years (for family vehicles)

UV/weather resistance: 3-5 years outdoors without fading

Unless you're repairing engines on your car every day, it's more than sufficient. 

Q2: Do I need special tools?

No.

Standard paint roller

Small brush for edges

Stirring stick

These are all included in our kits

Q3: Does the old floor need special preparation?

Just do three things:

1. Wipe away obvious oil/grease stains

2. Scrape off any loose material

3. Sweep away dust

No acid etching! No grinder required!

Q4: How soon can I use the floor?

Walkable after 24 hours

Light furniture after 3 days

Parking after 7 days

(Much faster than two-component epoxy)

Q5: How do I repair it if it gets damaged later?

Super simple:

1. Lightly sand the damaged area

2. Apply the topcoat directly

3. Apply varnish after it dries

4. The repair is barely noticeable

(Two-component epoxy repairs often show obvious color differences and seam lines)
