How long does a garage floor coating take to install?
Most garages are finished in about one day with a polyaspartic system. You can typically walk on the floor within a few hours of the final coat and park on it in roughly 24 to 48 hours, depending on temperature and the size of the job.
What is a full-flake polyaspartic garage floor?
A full-flake floor is a coating system where colored vinyl flakes are broadcast over a wet base coat until the surface is fully covered. The loose flake is scraped and vacuumed, then sealed under a clear polyaspartic topcoat. The result hides dust and small imperfections and gives the surface texture for grip.
Is polyaspartic better than epoxy for Arizona garages?
For a garage that gets sun through an open door, polyaspartic is usually the better topcoat. It is UV stable, so it does not yellow the way many epoxies do in Arizona sun. It also cures faster, resists hot-tire pickup and stands up to oil and common garage chemicals.
Do you repair cracks before coating the floor?
Yes. After diamond grinding, TruForce Epoxy fills cracks and repairs spalled or chipped areas so the coating goes down on a sound, even slab. Repairing first keeps damage from showing through and helps the coating bond across the whole floor.
Why do you diamond grind the concrete first?
Diamond grinding removes the smooth top layer of the slab, old sealers and surface contaminants, and opens the concrete so the base coat can form a mechanical bond. A proper grind is the main thing that keeps a coating from peeling.
Can you coat patios, porches and pool decks?
Yes. TruForce Epoxy coats patios, front porches and pool decks with epoxy and polyaspartic systems finished in a UV-stable topcoat, which holds its color in direct sun better than many standard epoxies.
