In Upstate New York, your garage flooring has to deal with the full force of the four seasons. From salt-covered roads in winter to humid summers and sudden temperature swings, the concrete under your car needs more than a surface-level fix. It needs a professional coating system that’s designed to last.
Seasonal Stress Requires a True Multi-Layer System
At Garage Floor Coating of New York, we use a 2-day installation process specifically designed to handle the Northeast’s freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and salt exposure.
Day One: We mechanically grind the concrete to ready the concrete slab for the first direct-to-concrete (primer) coat. Then we apply a slow-curing 100%-solids, moisture-mitigating epoxy primer that, once cured, acts as a moisture vapor barrier. (It protects your coating from future moisture-related issues). Before the primer coat dries, we broadcast a layer of vinyl or mica-infused flakes into the base coat for texture, color and durability.
Day Two: We return the next day to apply two layers of our 100%-solids polyaspartic topcoat. These dual coats provide exceptional resistance to UV rays, snowmelt, road salt, oil spills, and hot tire pickup.
The result? Garage flooring that’s built to last decades, backed by a lifetime warranty against peeling and delamination, even from moisture.
Why 1-Day Systems Aren’t Built for Upstate Conditions
Many quick-install, 1-day systems fail to account for Upstate New York’s moisture-rich concrete and harsh winters. These systems:
- Skip the vapor barrier primer
- Use a single, less-than-100%-solids polyaspartic top coat
That leads to peeling and/or hot-tire staining, often in just a few years. It’s why they won’t warrant against moisture-related issues in the small print.
