“A brand-new garage floor in just one day!” Sounds like magic, right? No waiting, no hassle—just a smooth, flawless surface ready to take on the world. That’s the dream one-day polyurea garage flooring installers love to sell. You imagine a durable, high-end finish that stays strong for years. No cracks, no stains, no worries.
The Harsh Reality of 1-Day Installations
Then reality kicks in. A few months down the line, that “perfect” epoxy floor is already showing signs of failure. Tiny bubbles form under the surface, peeling starts around the edges, and cracks appear out of nowhere. The problem? One-day installers cut corners to save time—and it shows.
Toledo’s mix of humid summers and freezing winters wreaks havoc on a rushed job. Hence, without the application of a thick moisture vapor barrier, moisture vapor pushes up on the thin, poorly penetrating polyurea base coat, leading to delamination over time. And when you go back to the installer? Their warranty conveniently doesn’t cover moisture-related issues. That “forever” floor? It didn’t last long.
The Right Way to Install Garage Flooring in Toledo
If you want epoxy garage flooring that actually holds up, speed can’t be the priority. conversely, quality must come first. At Garage Floor Coating – The Great Lakes, we take the time to do it right. Our 2-day installation process ensures that your floor isn’t just coated—it’s strongly bonded to the concrete slab for long-lasting durability.
We mechanically grind the surface with diamond grinders and patch cracks, pitting and breaks in the concrete. Next, we apply a high-build (read “thick”) moisture-mitigating, 100%-solids epoxy base coat…it acts as a moisture vapor barrier. Finally, we finish day 1 by broadcasting your choice of flake blend into the “wet” base coat. On day 2, we return to apply, not one, but two separate 100%-solids polyaspartic clear top coats, which provide extreme UV, impact, chemical and stain resistance. The result? A flawless floor that actually lasts through Toledo’s unpredictable weather.
