Our Epoxy Garage Floor Process

STEP 1: GARAGE FLOOR SURFACE PREPARATION

Thorough surface preparation is critical for maximum adhesion of epoxy coatings. We grind the concrete using diamond floor grinders to achieve a CSP3 (Concrete Surface Profile), creating a clean and porous surface. Industrial HEPA vacuum systems collect dust during grinding, removing stains and old materials effectively.

After grinding, we inspect and repair cracks, fissures, and spalling using epoxy and polyurea concrete repair materials. These repairs restore the surface’s strength, providing a stable base for coating application.

STEP 2: PRIMER & BASE COAT APPLICATION

TEK Decks applies industrial-grade, low-VOC coatings mixed on-site to suit the floor dimensions. Materials are poured and spread evenly using a squeegee, penetrating the surface for a strong bond. Large rollers distribute the coating evenly for a smooth finish.

This base coat can be pre-tinted to match flake blends or used as a standalone solid color option. For cost-effective polished concrete looks, transparent sealers may also be applied.

STEP 3: DISTRIBUTING THE FLAKES

Decorative flakes are hand-broadcasted into the wet base coat to bond with the epoxy layer. This step provides a Granite, Quartz, or metallic look while adding impact resistance. Flake density reaches 25 pounds per 100 square feet, effectively covering imperfections and creating unique finishes.

Choose from finishes like Terrazzo, which uses partial flake broadcasts or sand to create clean and durable flooring. Designer options complement interior and exterior color schemes, offering custom one-of-a-kind looks.

STEP 4: PROTECTIVE CLEAR COAT APPLICATION

The final step seals flakes with a durable, chemical-resistant clear coat. Excess flakes are removed, and the surface is scraped to reveal a uniform texture. The clear coat is applied with a squeegee and back-rolling technique for consistent “orange peel” textures, providing anti-slip properties and easy cleaning.

Options include Polyaspartic systems for superior UV stability and abrasion resistance. Depending on needs, Epoxy, Polyaspartic/Polyurea, or Urethane clear coats are applied for lasting durability and protection.

OUR FINISHES

Our Stone finish features a full broadcast of ¼-inch flakes layered between the epoxy base coat and Polyaspartic top coat. Flakes are available in earth and gray tones, resembling stone patios while adding durability. Designer finishes match modern trends and outdoor themes.
