Not all coatings are created equal—especially in Upstate New York, where freezing winters, spring mud, and summer humidity hit garages year-round. At Garage Floor Coating of New York, we know that a durable floor starts with the right foundation. That’s why we use 100%-solids, moisture-mitigating garage floor epoxy as the base layer for every installation. It’s not just better—it’s built different.
Where Other Coatings Fail: The Hidden Weakness in Most Floors
The origins of many coating failures are set before the topcoat ever goes down. Most “1-day” systems use polyurea or polyaspartic as BOTH the base coat AND the single topcoat for the sake of speed. However, as base coats, these quick-cure coatings are problematic! They cure so quickly in the presence of moisture, they simply don’t have the time to deeply penetrate and strongly bond with concrete. And this wafer-thin, poorly adhered base coat is susceptible to early peeling.
Other companies opt for cheaper water- or solvent-based epoxy, which shrinks significantly as it cures. The loss of volume leaves a thin, weak layer that wears out fast—particularly under road salt, snowmelt, and heavy equipment.
No Compromises: The Strength Behind 100%-Solids Epoxy
GFC’s system begins with 100%-solids, moisture-mitigating garage floor epoxy, a high-performance product with zero evaporation. Every bit of material stays in place, forming a thicker, more resilient base coat that can stand up to the Northeast’s toughest conditions.
- It mechanically bonds to concrete, creating a long-lasting foundation.
- It resists damage from moisture-vapor transmission and high hydrostatic pressure.
- It provides superior moisture mitigation, essential in damp basements and garages.
GFC’s two-day process finishes with two durable, 100%-solids polyaspartic topcoats—but it’s the moisture-mitigating epoxy base that holds everything together. (The entire coating system is only as strong as its base coat).
Built for the Northeast: Enduring Performance in Every Season
In Upstate New York, the changing seasons do more than crack roads—they crack garage floors, too. Without the strength and bonding power of 100%-solids, moisture-mitigating garage floor epoxy, coatings simply can’t survive the cycle of snow, slush, salt, and sudden heat.
Garage Floor Coating of New York installs every system with local conditions in mind, ensuring your floor performs through all four seasons and beyond.
Don’t settle for a system that’s built fast. Choose garage flooring that’s built to last—with GFC’s moisture-mitigating, 100%-solids garage floor epoxy as the core of your investment.
