Real talk from the job site. No filler. What we have learned doing garage floors in Calgary - the prep, the products, and the lessons that cost us.
Concrete holds moisture long after it looks dry. Above 4.5% RH, no coating goes down until the barrier does.
Cold slabs, condensation, and slow cure times change everything. Here is how pre-heating and accelerators keep installs on track.
Lifespan depends on prep quality, system choice, and how the floor gets used. Here is what separates a 5-year floor from a 20-year floor.
Both get called epoxy floors. They behave very differently. Here is what each system is actually good at and where each one falls short.
Acid etching opens concrete pores. Diamond grinding cuts a mechanical profile. One gives epoxy something to grip. The other does not.
Flake, solid colour, quartz, or metallic. The right system depends on how you use the space and what the slab will support.
A well-installed epoxy floor needs almost no maintenance. Here is what actually matters and what to avoid.
What to expect, how to prepare your space, and what a proper two-day installation actually looks like from grinding to final coat.
Salt tracked in from Calgary roads is one of the harshest things an epoxy floor will face. Here is what it does to bare concrete versus a coated slab.
