In previous years, it was impossible to successfully coat your garage floor in the winter time. Traditional epoxy should not be installed in temperatures under 55ºF. Thanks to polyurea and polyaspartic coatings, you no longer need to wait for those warm temperatures to have your concrete floor coated. Their innovative technology allows them to cure in temperatures as low as -30ºF!
Polyurea/polyaspartic coatings are extremely thin and very similar to polyurethane. In comparison to epoxy, they have numerous distinct advantages. Firstly, they have a very rapid cure time. This allows the area to have the coatings installed and be back to full service within 24 hours. Secondly, they are flexible so they move with the concrete as it undergoes thermal expansion and contraction. Thirdly, these coatings are 100% UV stable so they will not fade or discolor from the sun.
Additionally, polyurea and polyaspartic coatings give off little to no VOCS in comparison to epoxy. This means that there is minimal odor during installation and the smell will not linger. Furthermore, it is considered to be safer and less toxic than its competitors.
Why Would You Want Your Garage Coated In The Winter?
Concrete coatings companies are typically booked solid throughout the spring, summer and fall. This means that with winter typically being their down time, it is the most likely time that they will be running a sale. The cost of garage floor coatings can be high, so it’s best to take advantage of a sale when the situation arises!
Moreover, winters can wreak havoc on your concrete and create a mess that is difficult to clean. You will no longer have to worry about road salt once you have our coatings installed as they will protect your floor and are resistant to salt erosion. Another benefit is that polyurea and polyaspartic coatings create a very easy to clean surface.
Advantages Of Having Your Garage Floor Coated:
