Your Garage Floor Guys

When considering what type of flooring product you want to use it is
crucial that you don’t fall for the (home depot) single coat epoxy
process. Although they say they warranty their products they don’t
really cover the true issues that most people find with their floors.
The key complaint when dealing with this type of garage flooring
product is that it delaminates from the concrete floor within months of
application. There are two main reasons for this - the first is that
the concrete was not properly prepped before the epoxy went down. In
most cases simply pressure washing the concrete down does little good
for actually creating a good mechanical bond between the epoxy and your
concrete. In almost all floors that we do, regardless of the condition
of the floor, we diamond grind the concrete surface in an effort to
ensure the best possible adhesion of the garage flooring product. The
second most common problem with a single coat epoxy floor is that the
top epoxy coat does not provide a chemical barrier between a hot car
tire and the epoxy. When car tires get hot they have a chemical called
(Plasticine) that will chemically bond with epoxy and then when you
pull your car out the following day it simply rips the epoxy off the
floor. It is essential to use a top coat that is either a polyurethane
or a polyurea base. Both these categories of chemicals create a true
barrier to the plasticine and provide an adequate sealant for the
entire floor. If you want a floor that will last it is essential to
know what is involved because we at Garage Envy grind up home depot
type epoxy floors on a daily basis and start from scratch with our
lifetime warranty hybrid polymer flooring.
