You wouldn’t build a house in one day, so why would you trust a 1-day polyurea garage flooring system? The truth is, these so-called quick solutions are a shortcut to failure. They look great for a little while—until moisture starts creeping in, cracks appear, and your investment crumbles.
At GarageFloorCoating.com (North Dallas), we’ve seen too many homeowners pay the price for fast and flimsy installations. One-day installers get in, get out, and hope you don’t notice the damage until it’s too late. And when you call for a warranty? Good luck.
Why 1-Day Garage Flooring Systems Are a Disaster
The reason 1-day epoxy garage flooring systems don’t last is simple: they skip critical prep work and skimp on product. Here’s what they won’t tell you:
- The “1-day” guys don’t use the proper concrete primer coat; they use a quick-cure polyurea instead of a slower-curing 100%-solids, moisture-mitigating epoxy (which acts as a moisture vapor barrier). Using a quick-cure polyurea allows for the rushed application (get ‘er done in “one-day”). But without moisture mitigation, they increase the risk of peeling and bubbling.
- They apply a single clear polyaspartic top coat. And the polyaspartic is less-than-100%-solids…typically 70%-80% solids. (We apply two separate coats of our 100%-solids polyaspartic).
- “1-day” warranties often exclude moisture-related failures, because they know their floors can’t handle it. (We fully warrant all moisture-related issues).
The Garage Flooring System That Actually Works
At GarageFloorCoating.com (North Dallas), we do things differently. Our 2-day system is designed for maximum adhesion, durability, and moisture mitigation:
- Day One: We mechanically grind the concrete with diamond grinders and patch cracks, pitting and breaks in the concrete. We then apply our high-build, moisture-mitigating 100%-solids epoxy primer coat; it’s slow-curing, so it deeply penetrates and bonds with the concrete slab. We then broadcast the selected flake blend into the thick primer coat.
- Day Two: We add two separate 100%-solids polyaspartic clear topcoats. The dual top coats resist fading due to UV light, impacts, and staining from automotive fluids and hot-tire transfer.
The result? A thick coating system with moisture vapor barrier that’s actually built to last (as our real warranty attests).
