The Penntek Advantage
All Concrete Coatings Are Not the Same
"Polyurea" names a type of coating, not one product. Every Croc floor is a Penntek system, made by a known manufacturer and installed by Penntek certified installers. Residential floors are backed by a written lifetime warranty on materials from the manufacturer, Penntek, not just the installer, plus Croc's own workmanship warranty. Full terms in writing before you buy. A Croc floor is a better long-term investment. See what it costs per year you own it.
Watch the tests below, then use the questions in the table to compare any quote.

What to ask any installer before you compare quotes
Two floors can look the same on day one and be very different underneath, so start with who backs the floor and who makes it.
| What to ask any installer | Croc Penntek |
|---|---|
| Can I see your warranty in writing? Who backs it if the installer goes out of business, and what exactly does it cover? Is it backed by the coating manufacturer, or only by the installer? | Yes, backed by the manufacturer, Penntek, not just the installer: Penntek Limited Lifetime Residential Warranty, covering peeling, blistering, chipping, delamination and UV yellowing of the topcoat, plus Croc’s own workmanship warranty. See our written warranty. Your rep goes over the full written warranty with you along with your quote, before you sign. |
| What happens to my warranty if your company closes? | Your warranty is issued by Penntek, the manufacturer, not by us. |
| Who manufactures the coating, and is it sold under its own name? | Penntek, a known manufacturer. Not a relabeled or generic product. Penntek sells only through authorized installers. |

| Is the flake a full broadcast across the whole floor? Is there a UV-stable topcoat? Is that written in the quote? | Full-broadcast flake in the color you choose, plus a UV-stable topcoat. |
