Garage Floor Coating Application Process

thanks for your interest in garage living we produce the following short video to help you better understand our floortex floor coating system each morning garage living crews arrive on site at approximately 8:30 a.m. after greeting the customer reviewing details and answering any questions our crew gets right to work our trucks are fully outfitted as mobile workshops with equipment and materials to tackle any on-site challenge we follow a five-step application process to ensure a professional floor coating installation in every garage project as with any sort of coating surface preparation is the most important step in the process garage living has invested in state-of-the-art work Master diamond grinders and dustless self-contained vacuum systems to ensure that every floor we coat achieves an unbreakable mechanical bond to the substrate after unloading the equipment the crew will evaluate the concrete density to select the right type of diamond blades to grind the floor the crew will grind the entire floor surface which profiles the substrate and opens the pores of the concrete the edges are ground down using a hand grinder this ensures every square inch of the floor is properly prepared the coating can be applied to vertical surfaces such as foundation walls cinder block wood baseboards and steps hairline cracks naturally occur in concrete pads these cracks must be opened using a diamond cutting wheel and then filled with the polyuria filler or cement Isha's mortar once applied the filler cures in 25 minutes the excess can be ground off so that the floor is completely smooth and cracks invisible in many cases the concrete floor has imperfections such as salt pits or other minor damage these spots are also filled and ground down creating a perfectly smooth finish with the grinding complete the entire surface of the floor is vacuum to remove any remaining dust or debris garage living uses a polyaspartic floor coating which is a two component system the crew mixes the two components adding pigment to the base coat that matches our customer's choice of pre blended vinyl flakes the crew first rolls the base coat onto all vertical surfaces and heavily applies the flakes for consistent 100% coverage excess material is vacuumed from the floor before the base coat is applied the crew then proceeds to apply the base coat to the entire floor surface one crew member will roll the coating onto the floor and the other will broadcast the vinyl flakes to achieve 100% coverage three times the amount of material is broadcast in this process after the entire floor surface is coated and flaked the coating requires 60 minutes to cure when the coating has completely cured the crew begins to remove all excess flake material the floor is scraped with a flat metal edged tool to knock down any standing flakes and make the flake base coat even and smooth once the entire floor is scraped it is again blown and vacuumed to remove any debris the floor is now ready for the clear topcoat the crew will mix the two components of the material for a thick uniform layer the top coat is applied with a squeegee and then back rolled to create the final even and consistent coated finish the top coat requires 24 hours to cure for foot traffic and 96 hours for vehicles upon completion the crew will clean the entire site and load up equipment and materials garage living is proud to have employees that are hard-working positive and extremely friendly should you have any questions about this process please don't hesitate to ask thanks again for your interest in garage living we look forward to working with you
