In Michigan, your garage flooring has to work overtime. Winter brings salt and snowmelt. Summer delivers UV rays and humidity. And year-round, your garage handles spills, scrapes, and heavy traffic.
Thatโs why the type of coating (and the process used to install it) makes all the difference.
2-Day vs. 1-Day: Why Time Matters
At Garage Floor Coating of Michigan, we follow a true 2-day installation system. Why? Because lasting durability takes time and layers, not shortcuts. Hereโs what that process looks like:
- Day One: We mechanically grind the surface using commercial diamond grinders and patch concrete pits, cracks and breaks.
- We then apply a slow-curing, 100%-solids moisture-mitigating epoxy primer. Once cured, it acts as a moisture vapor barrier. Then, we broadcast your selected flake blend into the wet base coat in a full-flake spread.
- Day Two: After the primer cures overnight, we apply two layers (not jjust one!) of our 100%-solids polyaspartic topcoat. It offers extreme protection against salt, stains, UV exposure, and hot tire pickup.
This multi-layered approach creates a floor thatโs built to last decadesโeven in Michiganโs freeze-thaw cycles and salt-heavy winters. Itโs also backed by a lifetime warranty against peeling from moisture-related issues.
Conversely, fast, 1-day polyurea-polyaspartic systems often skip the moisture vapor barrier and apply a thin single, thin polyaspartic topcoat. These floors may look fine at first, but theyโre prone to:
- Peeling and bubbling from moisture vapor
- Hot tire lift and chemical damage within just a few years
Donโt Settle for a Surface-Level Garage Flooring Fix
Garage flooring isnโt just cosmetic. Done right, it protects your concrete, enhances your space, and holds up for decades. Done wrong, itโs just another home repair waiting to happen.
