Residential/ Epoxy Garage Floors
Epoxy Garage Floors
Epoxy garage floors is what we do most of all. We've been doing this for just about ten years, consistently. The 1/4" chip flake system is this most prevalent. And, for good reason; it works the best.
This is a three step process typically. First day we prep, the 2nd day we install the epoxy (and chip flake), and the third day we seal it.
The chip flake helps to hold the epoxy and sealer together, while adding traction at the same time.
You can walk on it the day after we're done usually, and drive on it the day after that.
There are a few upgrade options, if you are interested. A second coat of Polyaspartic sealer, or a "Multi-Chip" broadcast can add depth, and character to a standard epoxy garage floor!
It's fairly common to have some efflorescence, or vapor damage. And, most of the time we can fix that while we do the epoxy install. However, sometimes it will need to be repaired separately. That just means another day or two of time and materials.
Efflorescence/ Vapor Damage
What is Efflorescence?
Efflorescence is water vapor that is trying to push up through the slab. We always use Vapor Block Epoxy, but sometimes that isn't enough. Occasionally, we need to repair the slab, waterproof it, and then continue with the epoxy install process.
I explain this more on the "Efflorescence" page.
Color Options
"Nightfall"
"Light Grey"
"Light Grey"
is by-far the most popular we color we have. Goes with everything, hides any imperfections, and, it seems to boost the gloss. Wow!
"Light Grey"
"Light Grey"
"Light Grey"
LIght Grey is what we recommend when someone just wants something nice and clean. Note: we can add extra white chip flake to make it even lighter.
"Medium Tan"
"Light Grey"
"Medium Tan"
Medium Tan is the lightest color we have in the "browns". The obvious choice for Mediterranean style'd homes. Looks real nice too!
"Maui Sand"
"Dakota Grey"
"Medium Tan"
Maui Sand is another option in the the light browns. Looks a little more "Earthy" when spread-out over a large area.
"Dolphin"
"Dakota Grey"
"Dakota Grey"
Dolphin is a great choice if you want something in a light grey, but with a little bit of color. Excellent "hide" value too!
"Dakota Grey"
"Dakota Grey"
"Dakota Grey"
Dakota Grey, is a light grey with a lot of POP! It almost looks edible!
Efflorescence/ Vapor Damage
The only problem we have...
Just as I have described above, this is something we have to deal with regularly. I just don't want anyone to be suprised or to think that I'm trying to "make stuff up".
There is an extra fee to to fix this, and that depends on the severity. But, I will always try to be reasonable.
And, sometimes the concrete is just to damaged for an epoxy coating. That's when I advise to either demo the slab and repour, or install a flooring system that "breathes". A decent tile system is a good option here.
