Better PLUS Half Kit 250 sq. ft.
Building upon the BETTER KIT's foundation, the BETTER PLUS KIT integrates a high-solids, two-component polyaspartic clear top coat, enhancing the overall performance and durability of the coating system. This kit is specifically tailored for garages, basements, and various industrial or commercial indoor environments, offering a visually superior and more durable coating solution.
An optional medium tool kit is available, encompassing all necessary items for a streamlined and user-friendly installation process. The key advantage of the BETTER PLUS KIT lies in its polyaspartic clear top coat, which significantly extends wear resistance, scratch resistance, and UV stability. This kit not only retains all the unique properties of the GOOD KIT but also enhances the coating with double the flake density and a superior clear coat for increased scratch resistance, a thicker appearance, and prolonged longevity. The expected residential lifespan of this kit is around 30 years.

Polyaspartics or Traditional Epoxy
Why are Polyaspartics the best finish coat?
Polyaspartic floor coatings and 100% solids epoxy floor coatings are both popular options for protective and decorative floor finishes, particularly in commercial, industrial, and residential applications.
Each has its specific strengths and ideal use cases. Typically 100% solids epoxy is a better base coat and Polyaspartics are a better top coat. Here are the key benefits of choosing polyaspartic floor coatings over 100% solids epoxy coatings for a finish coat
UV Stability
⭐️ Polyaspartic floor coatings are highly UV resistant, which means they won’t yellow or degrade significantly when exposed to sunlight. This makes them an excellent choice for areas that
receive a lot of natural light.
🚩 Traditional epoxy coatings are prone to yellowing when exposed to UV light, which can be a disadvantage in sun-exposed areas.
Abrasion Resistance
⭐️ Polyaspartic Coatings offer superior abrasion resistance compared to epoxies. This makes them ideal for high-traffic areas or floors that need to withstand heavy use. This means they will maintain a higher gloss level and reduce noticeable scratching better than 100% solids epoxy.
🚩 100% Solids Epoxy: While still durable, epoxy may not perform as well under extreme wear and tear compared to polyaspartic coatings.
Aesthetic and Design Flexibility
⭐️ Polyaspartic coatings are clear and can be applied over decorative broadcasts or colored base coats without obscuring the design. They also tend to have a higher gloss finish which can enhance the aesthetic appeal of the flooring.
🚩 100% Solids Epoxy: Epoxy also offers good aesthetic flexibility and can incorporate colors and flakes. However, the clarity and gloss levels might be less pronounced than with polyaspartic coatings.
Chemical / Stain Resistance
Both coatings offer good chemical resistance, though the specific
resistance can vary based on the formulation.
Polyaspartic coatings generally provide better protection against a wide range of chemicals, making them suitable for garages, workshops, and industrial settings.
Polyaspartics are more stain resistant than other type of finish coats.
Maintenance
Polyaspartic Coatings are easy to clean and maintain due to their smooth and non-porous surface.
