Why Choose Polyurea for Your Garage Floor?

Polyurea is the best choice for protecting and improving your garage floor. It outperforms traditional epoxy coatings in strength, flexibility, and longevity. This makes it an ideal commercial and residential floor coating solution.

Our polyaspartic polyurea formula is 20 times stronger than epoxy and five times more flexible. It can resist cracking, peeling, and yellowing in harsh environments or with constant UV exposure. Therefore, your garage floor will not only look great but will also perform well for years.

Polyurea coatings offer excellent chemical resistance. They are perfect for garages exposed to oil spills, cleaners, or other substances. Furthermore, polyurea cures quickly. It allows your floor to be ready for use in just one day.

How to Install Polyurea Garage Floor Coating

Preparing Your Garage Floor

Preparing your garage floor begins with a thorough cleaning. We remove all dust, grease, and debris to guarantee a clean surface. This helps eliminate contaminants that could affect the coating’s adhesion.

Next, we use methods like acid etching or mechanical grinding to create a textured profile. This helps the polyurea base coat bond effectively. We choose mechanical grinding for a consistent and reliable surface.

Our team will then fill cracks and imperfections with polyurea fillers. These fillers are tougher and more durable than traditional ones. After filling, we smooth the surface to create a uniform base for a flawless finish.

Applying the Base Coat

Once we prepare the surface, we move on to applying the polyurea base coat. This layer is key to forming a durable bond with the concrete. It serves as the foundation for the entire coating system.

We use a specially formulated polyaspartic polyurea base coat. It is mixed to the ideal consistency for an even application. This can guarantee a strong layer that adheres to the surface without any inconsistencies.

With professional-grade tools, we spread the base coat carefully across the floor. This method brings complete coverage and a smooth finish. Our team makes sure that every corner is coated evenly.

Broadcasting Decorative Vinyl Flakes (Optional)

For those looking to add style to their garage floors, decorative vinyl flakes are the perfect option. These flakes enhance the aesthetic appeal and provide improved slip resistance.

Vinyl flakes not only come with a customized look. They can also create a textured surface that enhances safety. Whether you prefer a subtle finish or a bold design, these flakes allow you to personalize your garage floor.

Once we apply the base coat, we broadcast the vinyl flakes onto the wet surface. This guarantees an even distribution across the floor. We spread the flakes evenly to achieve complete coverage and a consistent appearance. This process will transform your garage floor into a standout feature.

After the base coat cures, we scrape the floor in multiple directions to remove any sharp edges left by the flakes. Then, we vacuum thoroughly to eliminate loose particles. This helps make sure the surface is smooth and ready for the topcoat.

Applying the Topcoat

The final step is applying the polyurea topcoat. This seals and protects the floor while giving it a polished finish. The topcoat enhances the floor’s durability. Thus, the floor can remain resilient and visually appealing for years.

We mix the polyaspartic topcoat to the right consistency for even application. With squeegees and rollers, our team applies the topcoat across the surface. This guarantees a smooth finish that improves both function and appearance.

Our trained professionals take care of every detail. The topcoat not only locks in the decorative flakes. It will also maintain long-lasting performance, even with heavy use.
