Garage Flooring with Ottawa Garage Builders
Garage Epoxy & Polyaspartic Coatings
At Ottawa Garage Builders, we offer two primary adhesive floor coating options: epoxy and polyaspartic. Both offer a seamless, beautiful appearance while protecting your garage’s concrete slab from damage caused by natural and chemical elements like salt and oil.
Your decision among these options depends on your schedule, aesthetic preferences, and budget. We highly recommend polyaspartic floor coatings in almost every situation for their durability and the convenience of same-day installation.
Our Polyaspartic Floor Coating
Polyaspartic flooring is available in various colours and can mimic the appearance of terrazzo or other high-quality floors. This coating offers superior colour retention, resistance to yellowing, and ability to withstand skid marks from tires, making it one of the most durable options for garage floors.
Benefits of Polyaspartic Flooring:
- Quick Installation: Walk on it within a few hours; drive on it the next day.
- Durable Finish: Resistant to fading, yellowing, and tire marks.
- Aesthetic Variety: Available in multiple colours with optional flakes for added traction and style.
Installation Process:
- Moisture Testing: We test your concrete slab’s moisture content to ensure it’s cured enough for the coating to adhere for the longest possible lifespan.
- Concrete Preparation: Thorough cleaning ensures maximum adhesion for your flooring.
- Polyaspartic Coating: Our team pours the liquid resin and spreads it out to create a smooth, even finish.
- Flake Application: We broadcast vinyl flakes for traction and aesthetic purposes.
- Sealing: The sealant creates a water and stain resistant finish, and must cure for about six hours before it can be walked on.
Garage Floor Epoxy
Epoxy is another excellent option for garage floors, applied directly to concrete. Many people use the term epoxy for any resinous flooring, but it’s also a specific flooring type that you should be aware of.
Benefits & Considerations:
- Cost-Effective: Approximately half the cost of polyaspartic flooring.
- Durable: Provides a strong, protective layer.
- Curing Time: Takes three to four days from preparation to driveability.
- Limitations: Not resistant to tire skids, fades quicker, and is less durable than polyaspartic.
By choosing Ottawa Garage Builders, you ensure that your garage floor is protected and visually appealing, with options tailored to your needs and budget. Contact us today to learn more about our garage floor coatings and create the perfect new garage you’ve dreamed of.
