Why Duration Concrete Coatings Stands Apart in Northeast Indiana

The Duralast® Polyaspartic Advantage

Unlike many concrete coating companies that rely on traditional epoxy, Duration exclusively uses the Duralast® Polyaspartic Coating system for their premium installations. This advanced formula delivers measurable performance benefits:

5X Stronger Than Epoxy: The polyaspartic base coat provides superior impact resistance and durability
Rapid Curing Time: Same-day use in many applications, versus the multi-day wait required for epoxy
UV-Stable Formula: Won't yellow or fade from sun exposure, maintaining its appearance for years
Superior Chemical Resistance: Protects against stains, oils, and harsh chemicals
Enhanced Flexibility: Prevents cracking that commonly affects rigid epoxy systems

Ten Years of Proven Performance

Since opening in 2015, Duration has established a track record of reliability in the Fort Wayne market. Their longevity speaks to both the quality of their installations and their commitment to customer satisfaction. As one satisfied customer, Dave Brockhouse, noted in his review: "Dan personally stopped by to inspect the job. He noticed a few imperfections and within days his team came by to fix it. Duration absolutely stands by the product and service."

This attention to detail and willingness to ensure perfect results has earned Duration recognition throughout Northeast Indiana's residential and commercial sectors.

Real Results from Real Customers

Residential Transformations That Last

Duration's residential clients consistently report dramatic improvements in both aesthetics and functionality. Rose Green, who recently had her garage floor coated, shared: "I love my new garage floor. It will be easy to keep clean. Dan came very quick and gave an estimate and set up time to do the work. He was able to match my porch floor I had done previously."

The ability to match existing surfaces demonstrates Duration's technical expertise and attention to detail—critical factors for homeowners seeking cohesive design throughout their properties.

Molly Farthing experienced the full scope of Duration's capabilities when they transformed her patio: "I had a large crack in my concrete and you would never know it was there...their work was flawless! My patio has received so many compliments and I've already recommended your company."

For business owners, downtime and durability are paramount concerns. Duration addresses both through their efficient installation process and industrial-grade coating systems. Their commercial clients benefit from:

Flexible scheduling to minimize business disruption
Heavy-traffic rated floor systems
Chemical-resistant surfaces for automotive and kitchen applications
Professional-grade finishes for showrooms and retail spaces

Laura Wyss, who chose Duration after receiving multiple quotes, emphasized the company's efficiency: "Had our garage done in less than half a day. Price was very good. And they offer a lifetime warranty!"

The Duration Concrete Coatings Process: Six Steps to Superior Floors

Duration's reputation for quality stems from their rigorous 6-step installation process. This systematic approach ensures maximum adhesion, durability, and aesthetic appeal:

Step 1: Professional Preparation

Using diamond grinders, Duration's technicians prepare the concrete surface to ensure optimal adhesion. This crucial step separates professional installations from DIY or substandard contractor work.

Step 2: Concrete Reconstruction

Cracks, spalling, and surface imperfections receive specialized concrete mender treatment, creating a smooth, unified substrate for the coating system.

Step 3: Polyurea Base Coat Application

The proprietary Duralast® polyurea base coat is applied—this is the foundation that provides 5X greater strength than traditional epoxy systems.

Step 4: Decorative Vinyl Chip Distribution

Small vinyl chips are hand-applied to create unique color combinations and surface texture, allowing for customized aesthetics.

Step 5: Excess Chip Removal

Loose chips are scraped away, simultaneously adding slip resistance and creating a uniform surface texture.

Step 6: UV-Stable Clear Coat Finish

A final clear polyaspartic coat seals and protects the floor while providing UV stability that prevents yellowing—a common problem with epoxy systems exposed to sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does installation typically take?

Most residential garage floors are completed in less than half a day. The rapid-curing Duralast® Polyaspartic system allows for same-day use in many applications, significantly faster than traditional epoxy that requires 3-7 days of curing time.

Will the coating yellow over time?

No. Unlike traditional epoxy that yellows when exposed to UV light, Duration's polyaspartic clear coat is UV-stable and maintains its clarity and color indefinitely, even in sun-exposed areas like patios and pool decks.

Can you match existing coated surfaces?

Yes. Duration has the technical capability to color-match existing coated surfaces, as demonstrated in Rose Green's project where they successfully matched her previously coated porch floor.

How do you handle cracks and damaged concrete?

Duration's 6-step process includes concrete reconstruction using specialized menders. As Molly Farthing's experience demonstrates, even large cracks can be repaired to the point where they're virtually invisible beneath the finished coating.

What makes polyaspartic coating better than epoxy?

Polyaspartic coatings cure faster, resist UV damage, provide superior chemical resistance, maintain flexibility to prevent cracking, and deliver 5X greater strength compared to traditional epoxy systems. These benefits make polyaspartic the premium choice for demanding applications.

Do you work around my schedule?

Duration offers flexible scheduling, including weekend and evening appointments for estimates. For commercial projects, they can often complete installations overnight or during off-hours to minimize business disruption.
