WHY WE CHOOSE POLYASPARTIC<\/h2>\n\"\u2705\"Proven Durability developed in the 1990s, polyaspartic coatings were initially utilized for steel bridges due to their exceptional corrosion resistance properties.\n\"\u2705\"Strength Advantage: Polyaspartic coatings are 4x stronger than lower-grade epoxy coatings, providing unparalleled durability and longevity.\n\"\u2705\"Enhanced Adhesion: Polyaspartic coatings offer superior adherence due to their thinner consistency, allowing the material to penetrate deeper into the concrete pores during curing, resulting in a stronger bond with the substrate.\n\"\u2705\"Longevity Guarantee: With regular maintenance, polyaspartic coatings used in a garage with regular traffic can last a minimum of 20 years, ensuring a long-lasting investment in your property.\n\"\u2705\"Versatile Application: Unlike epoxy, which is primarily formulated for indoor use, polyaspartic coatings are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.\n\"\u2705\"UV Resistance: Epoxy coatings tend to amber and chalk over time when exposed to UV rays, while polyaspartic coatings maintain their color and integrity even in outdoor environments.\n\"\u2705\"Garage Flooring Excellence: Our installations have demonstrated the superiority of polyaspartic coatings, ensuring long-lasting, vibrant surfaces for your garage floors.\n\"\u2705\"Lifetime Warranty: We proudly offer a lifetime warranty for adhesion, providing you with peace of mind for the longevity and quality of your polyaspartic coating.\n\t

OUR PROCESS<\/h2>\n1. <\/strong>Thoroughly clean the concrete surface to ensure proper adhesion and a flawless finish.
\n2. <\/strong>Utilize a diamond grinder with specialized blades to remove imperfections and coatings, creating a smooth and even surface for the epoxy application.
\n3. <\/strong>Use a specialized blade to open up cracks, allowing for effective repair and preventing further damage.
\n4.<\/strong> Clean out cracks and debris to ensure a strong bond between the repair compound and the concrete surface.
\n5.<\/strong> Fill cracks with a high-quality repair compound, addressing any structural issues and preventing future damage.
\n6. <\/strong>Smooth out the repairs to create a seamless and visually appealing surface.
\n7. <\/strong>Allow the repair compound to dry and cure, ensuring its durability and longevity.
\n8.<\/strong> Apply the base coat of epoxy, providing a protective and attractive finish.\n

Additionally, our advanced equipment includes HEPA filters, which play a crucial role in maintaining a dust-free environment. This not only ensures a clean and professional-looking result but also promotes a safe and healthy workspace. By following these detailed steps and utilizing our advanced equipment, we guarantee exceptional results for your epoxy projects. Your customers will be informed and confident in the quality of our services.<\/p>\n\t

THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER PREPERATION<\/p>\n\t

Grinding concrete before epoxy installation is essential for ensuring a strong and long-lasting bond. Concrete surfaces often contain imperfections like laitance and contaminants that can compromise adhesion and performance. Grinding removes these imperfections, creating a clean, porous surface that allows the epoxy to penetrate deeply and adhere securely. It also levels uneven areas, enhances aesthetics, and promotes better light reflection. In summary, grinding prepares the concrete substrate for optimal adhesion, durability, and aesthetics of the epoxy coating.<\/p>\n\t

THE IMPORTANCE OF REPAIRING SURFACE DAMAGES<\/strong><\/p>\n\t

Repairing concrete imperfections before coating installation is crucial for a durable finish and enhances the overall appearance of the finished product. Imperfections like cracks and spalls can compromise the coating’s integrity if left unaddressed. Using an angle grinder, cracks are opened to ensure proper adhesion of repair materials. Larger cracks are backfilled with sand for added support. Poly crack fillers offer flexibility and quick curing times, minimizing downtime. Repairing concrete ensures a smooth surface, prevents future damage, and prolongs coating life.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tCOMMON INSTALLATION FAILURES\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Adhesion Failure Due to Improper Surface Preparation<\/p>\n\t

Concrete coating failure due to inadequate surface preparation. Contaminants were not properly removed, leading to poor adhesion. Avoid using the etching method, as it doesn’t create the porous surface needed for concrete coatings absorption into the concrete.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"IMG_0143\"\n\t

Ambering\/Yellowing Top Coat of Concrete Coatings<\/p>\n\t

Yellowed top coat of concrete coatings due to low-quality products from big box office stores. These non-industrial grade coatings are filled with additives and solvents, resulting in minimal concrete coating properties. Most of these additives evaporate during curing, leading to shrinkage and a weaker floor quality.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"IMG_0144\"\n\t

Blistering\/Bubbling Failure of Concrete Coatings<\/p>\n\t

Blistering and bubbling in concrete coatings are often caused by trapped moisture during application or curing, stemming from high humidity or inadequate surface moisture control. These defects compromise the appearance and performance of the coating, requiring remediation to restore the surface’s integrity.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"IMG_0139\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCall Us Today!\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t
