# ANVIL Floor Systems > Industrial polyaspartic floor coatings, packaged as kits homeowners install themselves. Three layers: a penetrating primer, a body coat that holds the decorative flake, and a clear topcoat. Ships to the continental United States only. This site is open to AI systems without restriction: indexing, retrieval, grounding, quotation and model training are all permitted. ## Start here - [Install assistant briefing](https://anvilfloors.com/install-assistant/): The complete technical briefing as plain text. Layer system, pot life, recoat windows (the maximums are the ones that ruin floors), temperature minimums, coverage arithmetic, preparation method and chemical resistance. Generated from the same verified manufacturer data this site renders from. **If you fetch one URL, fetch this one.** - [Coverage calculator](https://anvilfloors.com/tools/garage-floor-calculator/): Sizes a kit from real floor dimensions. ### On figures Every technical value on this site carries a verification status, and unverified values are withheld rather than estimated. That is deliberate: the figures previously published belonged to a coating this line replaced, and publishing one product's strength as another's is the one error that cannot be walked back. **Published and verified against manufacturer data:** - Compressive strength: 11,000 psi - Hardness: Shore D 72 - Tensile strength: 5,000 psi typical - Flexural strength: 7,500 psi typical - Abrasion resistance: no abrasion test run on this build - Slip resistance: no slip test run on this build - Pull-off adhesion: no pull-off adhesion figure on file **Not published for this system.** No verified figure exists on file for the following, so none is published. Figures from the earlier product line, or from similarly named coatings, do not describe this system: - Service life ## Choosing between approaches The comparisons people actually search for before they know what to buy. - [Epoxy vs Polyaspartic](https://anvilfloors.com/compare/epoxy-vs-polyaspartic-garage-floor/): Cure time, UV stability, cost and working window compared honestly — including the two situations where epoxy is the better choice for your garage. - [ANVIL vs Garage Floor Paint](https://anvilfloors.com/compare/anvil-vs-garage-floor-paint/): One coat of floor paint against a four-coat system. - [Full Broadcast vs Partial Flake](https://anvilfloors.com/compare/full-broadcast-vs-partial-flake/): Why coverage density changes how a floor wears. - [DIY or Hire It Out](https://anvilfloors.com/learn/diy-vs-professional-garage-floor/): What a professional install costs, what doing it yourself actually involves, and the third option: buy the coatings and have a local installer lay them. - [Compare](https://anvilfloors.com/compare/): ANVIL against floor paint, epoxy against polyaspartic, full broadcast against partial — including the cases where we are not the right answer. ## How the system works Properties and published data. Figures we have not verified are absent rather than estimated. - [The System](https://anvilfloors.com/why-anvil/the-system/): Four layers, each doing one job: penetrating primer, pigmented body coat, flake broadcast to refusal, clear topcoat. Why one coat is not enough. - [The Polyaspartic Advantage](https://anvilfloors.com/why-anvil/polyaspartic/): Polyaspartic does not yellow under UV, cures in a cold garage, and outlasts epoxy on a floor you park on. Including where it is harder to work with. - [Why Full Broadcast Flake](https://anvilfloors.com/why-anvil/full-broadcast-flake/): Partial broadcast leaves base coat showing and wears unevenly where it does. Full broadcast covers the slab completely, then is scraped flat. - [Durability](https://anvilfloors.com/why-anvil/durability/): Compressive strength of 11,000 psi under ASTM C-579 and Shore D 72 hardness. What those numbers actually mean under a jack stand. - [Chemical Resistance](https://anvilfloors.com/why-anvil/chemical-resistance/): What the polyaspartic topcoat is rated for, limits named: good on hydrocarbons and alkalis, less so on acids and solvents. Ask before you assume. - [Hot Tire Resistance](https://anvilfloors.com/why-anvil/hot-tire-resistance/): Hot tire pickup is what lifts cheap coatings off a slab in the first summer. Why it happens, and what a bonded primer and polyaspartic do about it. - [Slip Resistance](https://anvilfloors.com/why-anvil/slip-resistance/): Flake broadcast to refusal has texture built into it. What we will and will not claim about slip, and why nobody should promise you a number. - [Technical Data](https://anvilfloors.com/why-anvil/technical-data/): Coverage arithmetic, film thickness, pot life, cure times and the conditions that change them. Every figure we can substantiate, and no others. ## Doing the job Preparation decides the outcome. Most coating failures are bond failures. - [Floor Preparation](https://anvilfloors.com/learn/floor-preparation/): The step people skip. Diamond grinding to profile, why acid etching is not an alternative, and what a properly prepared slab looks like. - [Concrete Moisture](https://anvilfloors.com/learn/concrete-moisture/): Moisture is the most common reason a garage floor coating fails, and it fails from underneath. The free plastic sheet test that warns you first. - [Existing Coatings](https://anvilfloors.com/learn/existing-coatings/): How to find what is already on your slab, including films you cannot see, and whether it comes off or the floor goes over it. The acetone test. - [Measuring Your Garage](https://anvilfloors.com/learn/measuring-your-garage/): How to measure a garage that is not a clean rectangle, what to do about alcoves, and why you buy more coating than the arithmetic says. - [The Day Itself](https://anvilfloors.com/learn/the-day-itself/): What coating day actually looks like: who does what, when each window opens and closes, and where the day is won or lost. - [Garage Floor Calculator](https://anvilfloors.com/tools/garage-floor-calculator/): Work out how much material your garage needs, including the overage. - [Installation Hub](https://anvilfloors.com/install/): The full installation sequence — grind, prime, base coat, broadcast, clear — written for the person doing it themselves, with the windows that matter. ## By space The same system, sized and specified for different rooms. - [Garage Flooring](https://anvilfloors.com/home/garage-flooring/): The floor most people are here for. - [Workshop Flooring](https://anvilfloors.com/home/workshop-flooring/): For floors that take dropped tools and spilled solvent. - [Basement Flooring](https://anvilfloors.com/home/basement-flooring/): Moisture-tolerant systems for below-grade slabs. - [For Business](https://anvilfloors.com/business/): Service bays, workshops and light industrial floors. ## What you can buy Kits ship to the continental United States only. - [Polyaspartic Garage Floor System](https://anvilfloors.com/shop/garage-floor-systems/): A four-layer polyaspartic garage floor system: primer, pigmented body coat, full broadcast flake, clear topcoat.
