| 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.
