Installation and Curing timeline

Installation and Curing timeline

1.

Installation Time

Installation times are typically between 1-2 days, but vary depending on the scope of the project and the external Colorado temperatures.

2.

Curing Process

The coating requires 24hrs/48rs of cure time depending on temperature. We recommend opening garage windows or your garage doors as much as possible to allow ventilation and airflow.

3.

24 Hours

After 24hrs of cure time, the floor is ready for foot traffic and lighter garage items such as bikes, trashcans or boxes.  (Add 24hrs if night-time temperatures drop blow 15°F.)

4.

48 Hours

After 48 hours a vehicle can be driven on the floor. Heavier, wheeled items can also be brought back into the garage. Heavy items NOT on wheels can be lifted and placed back into the garage. Avoid dragging heavy non-wheeled objects on the floor for a full seven days. (Add 24hrs if night-time temperatures drop blow 15°F.)

5.

1 Week

Heavier items that do not have wheels can be pushed or pulled across the floor at this time.


Industrial grade coating process

1.

Diamond Grind

We start each concrete coating project by diamond grinding the concrete. This allows the liquid coating to penetrate into the pores of the concrete for a proper bond.

2.

Fix Cracking or Deterioration

If there’s moderate/significant deterioration or cracking our team will fill, grind and repair the areas before the coating process.


3.

Vapor Barrier Base Coat

The primary function of this commercial epoxy coating is to anchor into the concrete. This creates a solid bond and vapor barrier, good up to 8lbs per square inch.

4.

Traction Chip Distribution

- Full broadcast

Traction Chips function as the texture/grip for the floor. We primarily use a 1/4” size and when sealed with the final clear coat, provides hardy traction while still being easy to clean.

5.

Sanding/Vacuuming

Once the base coat and chips have hardened to the concrete, the floor is smoothed out by lightly sanding the surface with various tools. The floor is then vacuumed clear of excess Traction Chips, readying the floor for the final sealer coating.

6.

Polyaspartic Clear Coat

The Polyaspartic Top Coat ensures a smooth, clear surface which seals and protects the floor. This product is troweled on and back rollered for an even finish. Our Polyaspartic Clear Coat is 6x stronger than epoxy and is scratch, chemical, UV and impact resistant.
