Many homeowners use their garage as more than a place to park their car. It’s often a workshop, home gym, storage area, or additional living area. To improve the appearance of this space and protect the floor from stains, cracks, moisture, and everyday wear, Garage Solutions offers high-performance polyaspartic garage floor coatings. 

These coatings withstand heavy traffic, chemical spills, hot tires, and changing temperatures, while providing a clean, attractive finish that lasts for years.

Epoxy vs. Polyaspartic

While you may have heard epoxy and polyaspartic used interchangeably when discussing garage floor coatings, they are different. 

Epoxy creates a durable, attractive surface that can handle everyday vehicle wear and home projects. It is more cost-effective but can yellow or fade with prolonged UV exposure due to the clear top coat and lack of UV stability. It also takes several days to fully cure, preventing you from using your garage. 

Polyaspartic is a more premium option that offers exceptional durability, faster cure times (sometimes within a single day), and superior weather resistance. Garage Solutions of Arizona uses this material for the base coat and top coat to give our customers a longer-lasting finish that will perform well and hold up under even the harshest Arizona sunlight.

The Importance of Diamond Grinding Before Adding a Coating

A garage floor coating is only as good as the surface underneath it. Garage Solutions of Arizona takes time to properly prep your garage floor in order to ensure it lasts. 

While pressure washing can effectively remove surface dirt, dust, and debris, it doesn’t reliably remove contaminants that have penetrated into the concrete. For example, oil can soak into the pores of concrete, and even after pressure washing, it can stay below the surface and potentially interfere with coating adhesion later. 

Additionally, some garage companies only utilize acid etching, a chemical reaction that creates a microscopic texture for the coating to grab onto. Unfortunately, this technique doesn’t physically remove the concrete surface and can be inconsistent. The acid may react differently depending on the concrete’s composition, age, density, previous contamination, and other factors. 

Garage Solutions of Arizona utilizes diamond grinding, which is the best way to prepare your garage floor for a coating. 

Diamond grinding physically removes a thin layer of concrete from the surface. This eliminates weak surface material and surface contamination, opens the concrete’s pores, creates a consistent mechanical profile, exposes sound concrete, and provides an ideal surface for coating adhesion. 

If the coating doesn’t properly bond to the concrete, it can eventually peel, flake, delaminate, lift, and fail around cracks or weak spots. Our goal is to create a clean, sound, and properly profiled surface that the coating can permanently bond to.
