A two-coat polyaspartic floor — roughly twenty times the film of wall paint — installed in one day and rated where it matters: 3,400 psi tensile, 500 psi pull-off, concrete fracture.
The system
A two-coat polyaspartic build. Kinetic HS direct to the concrete at 92–93% solids, flake broadcast to rejection into the wet coat, and Kinetic 85 topcoat over it at 85% solids and Shore D 86 — the harder of the two, on top.
The slab is diamond-ground to CSP 2–3 and photographed before a pail is opened. The finished floor reads ~19–20 mils dry — roughly twenty times a coat of wall paint — and pulls off at 500 psi with concrete fracture. That last number is printed on both data sheets: the bond outlasts the slab.
Every LYON floor is a residential standard. Commercial installations on request. We install through the 618 and 573 area codes, publish the exact products and film thickness on the invoice, and back every floor with a transferable lifetime warranty. See a copy of our warranty prior to sale. 16 CFR 239.2(a).
Polyaspartic vs. Epoxy
The finishes
Every LYON floor starts with the same Kinetic HS base and Kinetic 85 topcoat. What changes is the middle layer — and that is what makes the room.
“We stopped thinking of it as a garage floor the moment they turned the light on it.”

The five-step process
Slab temperature, ambient humidity, in-slab moisture (ASTM F2170), and dew-point margin are read on-site — before we quote a price. If any gate fails, we tell you what changes.
The slab is ground to a Concrete Surface Profile of 2–3 with dust-controlled equipment, photographed for the file, and every crack, chip, and pit is filled and repaired before a pail is opened.
Kinetic HS polyaspartic at 92–93% solids goes straight to the concrete — no primer needed on a dry slab. Applied at manufacturer spread rates with a 30-minute pot life.
Vinyl flake is broadcast into the wet coat until the slab will accept no more. Excess is scraped and vacuumed for the next job.
Kinetic 85 polyaspartic at 85% solids and Shore D 86 seals the floor — the harder of the two layers, on top. Total film reads ~19–20 mils dry. Written warranty delivered before we leave.
The warranty
LYON's written warranty stays with the floor, not the buyer. If the home sells, the coverage transfers to the next owner. It is one of the four claims no other operator in our territory publishes.
The warranty covers chipping, peeling, and delamination — the failure modes 500 psi pull-off adhesion with concrete fracture is designed to prevent. A full copy of the warranty document, with exclusions and claim procedure, is provided at the estimate and again with the signed job packet. See a copy of our warranty prior to sale. 16 CFR 239.2(a).
Where we install
Frequently asked
Because it isn't paint. Every floor requires a slab moisture test, a diamond grind to CSP 2–3, and a two-coat polyaspartic system installed inside a narrow temperature and dew-point window. A DIY kit skips all four. Most lift within two winters.
One day for most residential garages. Ground on Monday, walked on Monday night, driven on Tuesday. Larger commercial spaces may require two.
Yes. Our polyaspartic system installs on slabs as cold as 32°F, provided the four go/no-go gates (slab temp, humidity, moisture, and dew point) pass. Traditional epoxy needs 50°F minimum and stops working from November through March.
Yes. Lifetime for the original owner, 15 years transferable to the next. In writing, delivered before we leave the job.
LYON is priced at $8.50 per square foot with a $2,800 minimum. A standard two-stall garage of about 484 square feet averages $4,114. Larger and premium metallic finishes are quoted after a free on-site inspection.
Kinetic HS polyaspartic for coat one, quarter-inch vinyl flake broadcast to rejection, and Kinetic 85 polyaspartic as the UV-stable topcoat. Both are Resinwerks products with published data sheets — we'll email them with your quote. Total film build is ~19–20 mils dry, roughly twenty times a coat of wall paint.
