In Dallas, where the summers are scorching and UV rays are intense, having a durable, long-lasting garage floor coating is essential. But how long can you expect your garage floor to last? The short answer? With the right materials and installation, your epoxy floor should last 20 years or more. The best garage floor coatings should last this long…without any hidden warranty exclusions!
The Difference Between 1-Day and 2-Day Systems
There are two main types of garage floor coating systems. The 1-day polyurea and the 2-day epoxy-polyaspartic systems. 1-day systems tend to rush through the process and skip a crucial step: the application of a moisture vapor barrier (MVB). Consequently, this leaves the floor vulnerable to moisture (and resulting hydrostatic pressure) seeping up the porous concrete from the ground. The result? Cracks, peeling, and bubbling within just a few years.
Conversely, a 2-day installation process begins with the application of a high-build, moisture-mitigating 100%-solids epoxy primer. This primer coat acts as the moisture vapor barrier. This critical step is followed by two layers (not one) of 100%-solids polyaspartic topcoats. The dual topcoats provide extreme protection from UV rays, stains, and chemical spills. Perfect for the intense Dallas heat. This method ensures your garage floor can last over 20 years, even in the face of extreme weather conditions.
The warranties speak for themselves. Moisture is a garage floor coating’s greatest threat and most 1-day system warranties won’t cover moisture-related issues. Comparatively, 2-day epoxy and polyaspartic systems have no problem with moisture. That’s why we arrant all moisture-related issues. This difference should show which company is willing to stand behind their work.
