Arizona's relentless sun is one of the toughest environments for concrete coatings.
Homeowners and business owners across Arizona often discover that painted or epoxy-coated concrete begins fading, yellowing, peeling, or losing its shine after years of constant UV exposure. Many conventional coating systems simply aren't engineered to withstand Arizona's extreme climate, leading to costly repairs and repeated resurfacing.
According to Jon Kopp, Founder of Quality Epoxy, the problem isn't the concrete itself—it's the coating system installed on top of it.
For nearly three decades, Quality Epoxy has specialized in Full Polyaspartic 1" Flake Floors engineered specifically for Arizona's demanding conditions, providing a long-lasting alternative for residential and commercial concrete surfaces.
Why Full Polyaspartic Outperforms Traditional Epoxy
Many consumers assume every decorative concrete coating is the same.
In reality, traditional epoxy and full polyaspartic systems perform very differently outdoors.
Conventional epoxy coatings are aromatic compounds that naturally discolor when exposed to ultraviolet light. Over time they may yellow, chalk, or lose their original appearance.
A full polyaspartic coating system is different.
Because polyaspartic coatings are 100% UV resistant, they maintain their color and gloss even under continuous Arizona sunshine. They're also designed to accommodate the expansion and contraction of concrete caused by extreme temperature swings without becoming brittle.
Quality Epoxy installs a complete polyaspartic system from primer through topcoat rather than combining an epoxy base with only a thin polyaspartic finish.
The result is a coating thickness of 25–28 mils, significantly thicker than many standard installations, providing greater durability and long-term performance.
Why Outdoor Concrete Fails—and How Polyaspartic Prevents It
Sunlight is one of the biggest enemies of conventional concrete coatings.
UV radiation gradually breaks down the chemical bonds within traditional epoxy, causing discoloration, oxidation, and loss of gloss.
Polyaspartic coatings use an aliphatic chemistry specifically engineered for UV stability.
This advanced formulation allows the coating to maintain its appearance while resisting:
- UV fading
- Yellowing
- Chemical spills
- Surface abrasion
- Everyday wear
Rather than acting as a simple surface paint, the coating bonds tightly to properly prepared concrete, creating a durable finish designed for years of service.
For Arizona property owners, this means outdoor concrete can retain its high-gloss appearance without the continual maintenance associated with conventional coatings.
The Quality Epoxy Difference
Founded by Jon Kopp, Quality Epoxy has become Arizona's longest-running coating company with 28 years of experience installing decorative concrete coating systems.
Unlike many contractors that rely on rotating installation crews, temporary labor, or subcontractors, every project is personally completed by Jon and Monica Kopp.
They operate as a husband-and-wife team with no employees, allowing them to oversee every stage of each installation from surface preparation through the final coat.
This owner-operated approach provides consistency, accountability, and craftsmanship that larger companies often struggle to maintain.
Quality Epoxy also specializes in installing what they describe as some of the industry's most attractive Full Polyaspartic 1" Flake Floors, designed for both residential and commercial applications.

"I promise, you'll never find a nicer-looking floor!" - Jon Kopp
Transparent Pricing with No Deposit Required
Many flooring contractors require large upfront deposits before work begins.
Quality Epoxy takes a different approach.
The company operates with a NO deposit policy, allowing customers to pay after the installation is completed.
Pricing is based on square footage, with a clear estimate of costs provided. The company never uses sales tactics; its approach is focused on educating customers so they can make informed decisions.
This straightforward process reflects the company's confidence in its workmanship while giving customers additional peace of mind throughout the project.
Why Quality Epoxy Stands Apart
Property owners comparing concrete coating companies throughout Arizona and surrounding communities will likely encounter numerous installers offering epoxy or hybrid coating systems.
Quality Epoxy distinguishes itself in several important ways.
Full Polyaspartic System
Rather than combining epoxy with polyaspartic topcoats, every layer is installed using a complete polyaspartic system for maximum UV protection.
Owner Installation
Every floor is personally installed by Jon and Monica Kopp.
There are no employees and no subcontractors, ensuring every project receives the same level of attention and craftsmanship.
