Nashville’s garage floors endure fluctuating weather, from humid summers to cold, icy winters. Consequently, when installing a garage floor coating, the longevity of the product is a crucial consideration. At Garage Floor Coating of Nashville, our coatings are designed to last 20 years or more. Protecting your garage floor is priority one, even under the stress of Nashville’s climate.
Protecting Your Garage Floor: What Impacts the Lifespan of a Garage Floor Coating?
The main factors affecting the lifespan of your garage floor coating are the installation process and the quality of coating materials used. A 1-day system might seem like a convenient option, but it often sacrifices long-term durability for speed. Without a moisture-mitigating primer, and the use of less-than-100%-solids coatings, these systems leave the concrete vulnerable to rising moisture and staining. Cracks, delamination and staining are not uncommon within a few years.
Our 2-day installation system is a more thorough, long-lasting solution. The first day involves the application of a high-build, moisture-mitigating 100%-solids epoxy primer as a moisture vapor barrier. This thick primer deeply penetrates and strong bonds with the concrete substrate, protecting it from moisture and high hydrostatic pressures. The primer is slow-curing and is allowed a full day to penetrate and cure.
On Day 2, two polyaspartic topcoats are applied. They provide extreme UV, chemical, and stain resistance…including resistance to hot-tire transfer. This combination of thick epoxy primer and dual polyaspartic topcoats ensures your garage floor will hold up for decades.
