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, or expansion joints. Patching is recommended to correct this.
  • Fill perimeter 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.
  • Strengthen 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 camouflage 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,  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.
  • Strengthen 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 three coat system, granite-look flooring will eliminate pinholes in most garage slabs. No silica sand is added to this system, as the paint chips act as a natural non-skid.

The Granite-look will not:

  • Fill cracks  or expansions 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.
  • Strengthen the concrete.
  • Serve as a moisture or vapor barrier for moisture beneath the concrete slab.
