How To Prep A Garage Floor For Epoxy Or Polyaspartic Coating
Before we dive into floor prep for epoxy and polyaspartic, let's talk about polyaspartic coating versus epoxy coating.
Epoxy coating is an excellent solution for several types of garage floors, indoor. This can include basements, and other indoor concrete flooring. However, when it comes to garage floors, they're exposed to heavier vehicles and equipment, chemicals, and outdoor elements.
That's why at EnviroDek, we only suggest and use polyaspartic coating for garage applications. It offers greater tire abrasion resistance, UV resistance, and chemical spill protection. It can often last twice as long as epoxy coating for garage floors.
That being said, prepping your garage floor for epoxy or polyaspartic coating, or any concrete floors for that matter, have some similarities. So let's discuss those in the section below.
How To Prep For Epoxy Garage Floor & Polyaspartic Garage Floor Coating
Clear It Out
Get all large objects away from the garage. This includes bikes, cabinets, anything you're storing there. The space should be totally clear after you're done.
Clean The Garage
Sweep dust away and spray the floor with soap and water or another cleaning chemical. Mop it and essentially leave a blank canvas for the garage floor contractors to apply the coating.
Keep Valuables Away From Dust And Debris
It's best to wrap plastic around valuable items, remove them far away from the garage space. During the coating application, there could be airborne particles. So if you don't want any coating residue on your belongings, keep them out of harm's way.
