Our Multi-Step Coating Process & Cure Schedule

An epoxy floor is only as strong as its bond to the concrete. We follow a highly structured, professional preparation and installation process to guarantee your floor never peels, chips, or delaminates. Below is the precise step-by-step timeline of our typical garage application.

1

Concrete Preparation & Grinding

Day 1: Morning (approx. 8:00 AM)

We begin by clearing any remaining debris and running our heavy-duty planetary diamond grinders across the entire floor. This step is critical:

  • Removes any existing paints, glues, sealers, and weak surface concrete.
  • Opens up the pores of the concrete to achieve a Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) of 2 to 3.
  • Provides a raw, porous, profile layer that acts like teeth for the epoxy to bite into.
2

Crack, Joint, & Divot Reconstruction

Day 1: Late Morning

Once ground clean, we inspect every square inch of the concrete. We vacuum out and clean all cracks and joints, then repair them using our fast-cure polyurea concrete repair gel:

  • Cracks are filled and ground completely flush with the surrounding concrete floor.
  • Control joints are repaired to prevent cracking between slabs.
  • All anchor holes, pitting, and spalling are completely patched and smoothed.
3

Moisture Barrier & Primer Application

Day 1: Afternoon

After a thorough multi-stage HEPA vacuuming, we mix and apply our commercial-grade, moisture-vapor-barrier epoxy primer. This deep-penetrating layer locks out ground moisture and chemically seals the concrete.

4

Epoxy Basecoat & Full Color Broadcast

Day 1: Late Afternoon

While the primer is fresh, we pour and squeegee our 100% solids epoxy base coat. Then, we perform a massive "double-broadcast" flake throw. Over 100 pounds of flake are broadcast into the wet epoxy by hand until the floor is fully saturated and the chips stand upright at refusal.

5

Flake Scrape, Reclaim, & Polyaspartic Seal

Day 2: Morning (approx. 8:00 AM)

We return the next morning to recover all unbound flakes. We scrape the entire floor flat in multiple directions using wide steel blades, vacuum the floor pristine, and apply a thick, UV-stable clear polyaspartic topcoat:

  • Ensures a beautifully flat, slip-resistant, and comfortable walking texture.
  • Locks all decorative color flakes permanently in place.
  • Creates an impenetrable shield against chemicals, battery acids, oils, and physical impact.

Post-Installation Cure Schedule

To protect your newly installed high-performance floor, please adhere strictly to our post-application curing timeline before placing traffic on the surface.
