Which Coating is Right for Your
Garage Floor? |
| Epoxy/
Polyurethane Two Coat System: The Two Coat System is a thin film
coating. It consists of one coat of Epoxy Primer and one coat of
Polyurethane. Silica sand is added as non-skid. This system will
protect the concrete from staining and dusting, and provide any
easy-clean surface.
The Two Coat System will not:
- Fill cracks, spalls or
expansion joints. Patching is recommended to correct this.
- Fill permeter cracks or serve
as a caulk around the perimeter of the slab.
- Hide flaws or deterioration
in the garage slab.
- Fill pinholes in the concrete
surface.
- Strenghten the concrete.
- Serve as a moisture or vapor
barrier for moisture beneath the concrete slab.

Epoxy
/ Polyurethane Three Coat System: The Three Coat System adds one coat
of Chip Binder between the base coat of Epoxy Primer and the top coat
of Polyurethane. This coat of Chip Binder is a thick coat that helps
comouflage imperfections in the concrete surface. This system will
hide patching and minor deterioration, while sustaining the benefits
of the Two Coat System, Silica sand is also used in this system as
non-skid.
The Three Coat System will not:
- Fill cracks, spalls, or
expansion joints. Patching is recommended to correct this.
- Fill perimeter cracks or
serve as a caulk around the perimeter of the slab.
- Hide excessive deterioration.
Floating is recommended to correct this.
- Fill all pinholes in the
concrete surface, but will minimize them.
- Strenghten the concrete.
- Serve as a moisture or vapor
barrier for moisture beneath the concrete slab.

| Epoxy
/ Polyurethane Granite-Look Flooring: Granite-look flooring is a four
coat system consisting of one coat of Epoxy Primer, one coat of Chip
Binder, one coat of Chip Glaze, and a top coat of Polyurethane. The
"granite-look" is achieved by embedding paint chips between the Chip
Binder and the Chip Glaze. due to the addition of the paint chips and
the thickness of the Chip Binder and Chip Glaze, this system will
camouflage imperfections in the garage slab to a greater degree than
the three coat system. Also, unlike the the three coat system,
granite-look flooring will eliminate pinholes in most garage slabs. No
silica sand is addded to this system, as the paint chips act as a
natural non-skid.
The Granite-look will not:
- Fill cracks spalls or
expansions joints. Patching is recommended to correct this.
- Fill permeter cracks or serve
as a caulk around the perimeter of the slab.
- Hide excessive deterioration.
Floating is recommended to correct this.
- Strengthen the concrete.
- Serve as a moisture or vapor
barier for moisture beneath the concrete slab.
