Garage Floor Coating Has To Handle Winter Slush
A Red Deer garage spends half the year under melting slush, salt and gravel from the street. On bare concrete, the salt soaks in and slowly breaks up the surface, starting near the door.
A coating seals the slab so the slush sits on top and can be squeegeed out the door. A flake finish with a light texture keeps it from getting slippery when it is wet.
Why Garage Floor Coating Kits Peel
Store bought kits often peel within a year or two. The concrete is usually only washed or etched with acid, and the coating is very thin. Hot tires then pull the coating off the floor.
A professional epoxy garage floor starts with diamond grinding, which opens the surface so the coating can soak in and grip. The finished floor is many times thicker than a kit, and a polyaspartic topcoat resists hot tire pickup and fading from sunlight.
Garage Floor Coating Cost In Red Deer
Garage floor coating in Canada usually costs about six to twelve dollars per square foot installed, which puts most double garages at about twenty four hundred to six thousand dollars. Cracks, old coatings and high moisture readings can add to that.
