Why My Floor Failed – Twin Cities Garage Floor Coating

If you have ever had your garage floor resurfaced and experienced delamination or peeling this Case Study may explain why.

The Challenge – www.rocksolidsurfacing.com

This one was a garage floor coating applied in a residential garage floor in the Twin Cities Minnesota area. The cause of the failure was due to an inferior product. The product used was a hybrid polymer which is a technical term for a thinned down product. When coatings are thinned down they lose their cross linking capability. Cross linking is what happens when chemicals are mixed, they create a link like with a chain.  In this case the manufacturer thinned down the product causing the resins to sink to the bottom of the can. As a result the garage floor coating was weak and brittle, losing it’s flexability. As you can see it easily was scrapped off the floor.

As you may have read in other posts Garage Floors 1 specializes in “Pure Bred” Polyaspartic Garage Floor Coating, a One Day Floors product. This product is carefully scrutinized with a quality control system. Each gallon is properly blended and identical. The only adjustments made is a retarder that slighly slows down the cure and dry time for warmer climates.

In this case Garage Floors 1 grinded off the failed coating as well as the top concrete layer opening the pores of the concrete and removing any impurities. Then they applied new coats and a decorative chip system to the garage floor with a non slip finish.

Now the owners of the Twin Cities garage floor have a coating that looks and performs great with nothing to worry about.
