Same chemistry, different demands
Both residential and commercial floors use epoxy and polyaspartic chemistry, but the demands are different. A residential garage sees passenger cars, weekend projects, and seasonal salt. A commercial floor may see forklifts, constant foot traffic, grease, and chemical exposure every single day.
Residential: looks plus durability
For homes, the goal is a beautiful, easy-clean floor that also holds up. Decorative flake systems and metallic epoxy give residential spaces a finished, custom look while delivering the durability to handle vehicles, pets, and daily life. Most residential projects are garages, basements, patios, and pool decks.
Commercial: built for traffic and chemical exposure
Commercial floors prioritize wear resistance, chemical resistance, and cleanability over decorative finishes. Coating systems are often thicker, more textured for slip safety, and selected for the specific abuse the floor will take — whether that is a showroom, a shop, or a warehouse.
Which is right for your project?
The line between residential and commercial is blurrier than it sounds — a home workshop or garage gym can demand a more commercial-grade system, and a small retail floor may only need a residential-grade finish. We spec the coating system to how the space is actually used, not just the building type.
