Minneapolis Minnesota & Burlington Vermont Garage Floor

With winter just around the corner, your garage floor is going to take another beating especially in the Minneapolis Minnesota or Burlington Vermont area.

With snow comes road salts that travel onto your garage floor. The salts melt off your car onto your floor deteriorating the concrete. Melting snow absorbs into the floor bringing salt with it. You may not notice immediately but next spring you’ll wonder what happened to your garage floor.

This is a household problem in Minnesota or Vermont and virtually every northern climate. So what is the solution? You may have seen epoxy garage floor paint at the local hardware store. It’s just not made to handle moisture and salt. Later when it starts to chip off your concrete you’re faced with an additional expense of having to grind the paint off the floor and do it again.

You may not be aware but not all coatings are created equal. I might point out that proper surface prep is critical prior to any coating application. If the surface is not properly prepared with cracks filled you are at risk of coating failure no matter the quality.

In Minneapolis Minnesota or Burlington Vermont you may hear the word “Polyaspartic” as a coating. Polyaspartics are an advanced coating with many unique benefits over epoxy. When a floor is properly ground polyaspartics will soak into a garage floor becoming part of the concrete. This is good. Paints and epoxies typically stick to the surface. If you have excess moisture pressure under your floor it could delaminate.
