DuraTex Concrete Coatings is a professional concrete coating installer serving Southlake and the surrounding North Texas area. We work on garages, residential outdoor concrete, and commercial or industrial spaces — managing the full project from prep through final coat on everything we touch.
Polyurea and polyaspartic coatings are closely related to epoxy, and the distinction is worth understanding — they bond to concrete more reliably, cure faster, and hold up better under UV exposure and temperature swings. What DuraTex installs is a polyurea base coat paired with a polyaspartic topcoat — a system that outperforms standard coatings in the areas that matter most for Texas conditions. It handles impact and abrasion well, flexes as the slab moves through seasonal temperature cycles, and doesn’t absorb stains or spills. UV stability is a real factor in North Texas, where garage floors, pool decks, and driveways take direct sun for months at a stretch — this system holds its color and finish under that kind of exposure. Turnaround is fast, with most floors back in use within a day.
Preparation determines how long a coating lasts, and we don’t treat it as a formality. Every project begins with moisture testing — skipping that step is one of the leading causes of coating failure, and there’s no reason to take that risk. We mechanically grind the surface to open the concrete and achieve a proper mechanical bond rather than a surface-level adhesive one. Cracks, spalling, and uneven areas are repaired or resurfaced before any coating goes down.
Southlake homeowners with finished garages and outdoor entertaining areas tend to care about both durability and appearance — chip blend color palettes and matte or satin topcoat options give you room to get the look right, while broadcast texture finishes keep pool surrounds and wet-area floors safe underfoot.

Let’s talk about your floor. We’ll inspect your space, recommend the best system, and give you a free quote.
We use industrial-grade diamond grinders to remove imperfections and prepare the surface for a strong bond.
We fill cracks and apply a pure polyurea basecoat that penetrates and bonds to the concrete for unmatched strength.
While the basecoat is still wet, we broadcast your chosen flake blend, then scrape and vacuum for a clean, even finish.
A UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat seals the floor for lasting protection. After curing, we inspect the floor to ensure everything is perfect.
Choosing the right concrete floor coating system is crucial, whether it’s your garage, a space around the home, or a commercial floor. The unique DuraTex Concrete Coatings process, from the quality of our product to the expertise of our team, guarantees superior, long-lasting results you can trust.
Our coating materials are manufactured in the USA by Penntek Industrial Coatings. The polyurea base is 99% pure, which is a big part of what gives the system its strength, flexibility, and long-term durability.
Our installers are trained and certified to follow the process, including moisture testing, mechanical grinding, and repair work when the slab needs it. That’s how you get proper adhesion and a clean finish.
DuraTex systems are backed by a manufacturer-backed limited lifetime warranty. We’ll walk you through what’s covered and what to expect based on the surface and how the space is used.
Spills? No sweat! Wipe away messes in seconds with our super slick coating.
Sun-proof and fade-resistant, our coating keeps its cool and color, no matter the weather.
It’s 98% more flexible than epoxy. Bend it, twist it — our coating bounces back!
Traditional epoxy coatings and lower-grade “polyaspartic” systems don’t compete with the performance of our coating system. Epoxy is prone to chipping and peeling on concrete floors over time, and it can fade or yellow with UV exposure. Our Penntek-manufactured polyurea is stronger, more flexible, and formulated to resist hot-tire pickup, staining, and UV-related discoloration.
We back this performance with a manufacturer-backed limited lifetime warranty. See how our coating stacks up to traditional epoxy and cheaper polyurea:
Our garage floor coating system uses polyurea and polyaspartic polyurea – the gold standard for industrial durability. Unlike standard epoxy and cheap polyurea, our 99% pure formula creates a bond that is four times stronger than traditional epoxy and guaranteed to never peel away from your concrete. This superior quality means your garage floor can easily handle heavy equipment and frequent use without chipping or wearing down. We install a surface that is built to last a lifetime.
Concrete naturally expands and contracts with changing temperatures, especially in here Texas. Traditional epoxy is rigid and brittle, which is why it often cracks and peels as the concrete moves. Our polyurea is up to 98% more flexible than epoxy and cheaper alternative polyureas. This means it can stretch and bend with the concrete fluctuations without breaking its bond. This flexibility is the key to a coating that remains seamless and beautiful year after year.
Many cheaper polyurea coatings, particularly traditional epoxy, are not UV stable. Over time, sunlight exposure causes them to fade, chalk, or develop an unsightly yellow tint. Our DuraTex polyurea is a high-performance, UV-stable formula. This means your garage floor’s color will remain vibrant and true, even with constant exposure to sunlight and heat. This quality is backed by our lifetime warranty against fading and yellowing.
The seamless, non-porous finish of our polyurea is chemically resistant to oil, gasoline, and harsh chemicals, making cleanup a breeze – spills simply wipe away. Even better, this non-porous surface is 100% antibacterial and antimicrobial, meaning it actively prevents the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria. This ensures your garage or basement floor is always cleaner and safer for your family.

Epoxy is an older coating chemistry that can be more vulnerable to peeling and UV discoloration depending on the environment and install variables. Polyurea systems are built for toughness and flexibility, and polyaspartic is commonly used as a UV-stable topcoat. Another big difference is cure time. Polyurea and polyaspartic systems typically cure much faster than traditional epoxy. In many cases, you can walk on it the same day and park on it within 24 to 48 hours, depending on conditions. Traditional epoxy often needs more time before it’s ready for heavier use. A common planning range is next-day foot traffic, then roughly 3 to 7 days before you can park vehicles, with full cure taking about a week, depending on the product and conditions.
On concrete floors, epoxy often starts showing wear sooner than most expect. In many cases, epoxy floors need repairs or a recoat within the 2 to 5 year range.
Some epoxy floors can last longer, but lifespan depends heavily on surface prep, moisture, and how much use the floor is exposed to.
With proper prep and normal maintenance, a high-performance polyurea plus polyaspartic system is built for long-term use, often 15 plus years.
DuraTex also backs the system with a manufacturer-backed limited lifetime warranty.
We start with moisture testing. If the slab has moisture issues, that has to be addressed before anything else.
Typical prep includes
Moisture testing and slab inspection
Mechanical grinding to remove contaminants and open the concrete for bonding
Crack repair and patching of spalls and pitting
Resurfacing or leveling work when needed to create a stable base
After prep and repairs, we install the coating system.
Yes. We repair cracks and damaged areas before coating so the slab is stable and the finished floor looks clean.
Repairs can still be faintly visible in certain lighting, but flake chip floor finishes help hide a lot.
Moisture is one of the fastest ways to cause coating problems. We moisture-test the slab and look for signs like dark spots, sweating, or previous coating failure.
If moisture is high, we’ll walk you through the options before moving forward. Depending on the readings and the slab condition, that may include additional prep steps, a moisture-mitigation primer or moisture-tolerant base coat, and in some cases changes to drainage or ventilation so the slab can dry out properly. If the numbers are too high for a reliable install, we’ll recommend the safest path instead of forcing a coating onto a slab that isn’t ready.
Yes, but not immediately. New concrete needs time to cure and dry, then it has to pass moisture testing before it’s a good candidate for coating.
Return-to-use timing depends on humidity and temperature, but here’s the typical planning range.
We’ll confirm timing for your project.
Penntek floors are easy to maintain.
Sweep off sand and salt, then rinse with water. A squeegee works great to clear water off.
Ask us about Penntek’s LGX-501 floor cleaner. It’s designed to work with Penntek coatings. Mix the concentrate with warm water.
If you prefer, you can use common cleaners per label directions. Penntek recommends Simple Green, Pine-Sol, CLR, and Dawn.
Avoid long-term bleach exposure and avoid acids or highly corrosive materials.
For tougher cleaning, let the cleaner sit 5 to 10 minutes, scrub with a scrub brush or stiff bristle broom, wait another five minutes, then rinse.
Most customers choose a flake chip floor finish for a clean look that hides minor imperfections better than a flat painted look.
We offer a range of flake blends and can recommend options that fit the space. If you have a specific look in mind, send us a photo or a quick description and we’ll help you narrow in on the best match and confirm what’s available.
