Kansas City, MO Garage Floor Coating Installation
Challenge
The Hubbard family had previously finished their garage floor using a contractor who used an epoxy floor coating. At first, they loved the look of the floor and also how easy it was to clean. The Hubbard family use their garage to come and go from their house each day and it is important to them to have their garage clean and looking great.
Unfortunately, after a little bit of time, the Hubbard family noticed that the epoxy was starting to delaminate from the concrete floor. After doing some research, they determined that the floor was delaminating due to hot tire pick up.
One of the leading concerns that people express about epoxy garage floor coatings is hot tire pickup. Hot tire pickup is caused by the internal temperature of the tires on your vehicle getting warm when driving. As a result, the tire expands slightly from the heat. Once you part your car in the garage, the heat is transferred to the thread of the tire and then to the epoxy coating underneath. Once the tire starts to cool, the footprint of the tire will contract slightly causing the tire to grab and pull at the surface of the epoxy. As a result, the epoxy can delaminate from the concrete floor.
This was discouraging to the Hubbard family and as a result they started to consult with other contractors to redo the garage floor coating. The Hubbard family one again wanted their garage floor to look nice and also find a solution that would last.
Solution
The Hubbard family hired Hello Garage of Kansas City to install a new polyaspartic floor coating on their garage floor. After learning about the process, the products used, and the warranty, the Hubbard family was confident, the floor coating would last and look great.
Hello Garage of Kansas City installed a Cookies and Cream polyaspartic floor coating on the garage floor after removing the epoxy floor coating. After properly preparing the garage floor using a industrial concrete grinder with dust control, the polyaspartic floor coating was installed. Polyaspartic is a better material to use for a garage floor because it will penetrate deep into the pores of the concrete which will result in a better bound with the concrete. As a result, Hello Garage of Kansas City offers a lifetime warranty and guarantees the floor will not peel, flake, or yellow.
