Coating Designs recently completed a comprehensive
garage floor transformation in Orlando, Florida. This project involved the application of our premium Desert Storm Flake Concrete Coating, a high-performance product designed to enhance both the aesthetic appeal and durability of concrete surfaces.
Preparation and Cleaning:
The first step in any garage floor coating project is thorough preparation. Our team began by carefully cleaning the existing concrete surface to remove dirt, grease, and any contaminants that could interfere with the coating’s adhesion. This involved sweeping, mopping, and possibly pressure washing the floor.
Surface Repair:
Once the floor was clean, we inspected it for any damage, such as cracks, chips, or spalling. If necessary, we performed minor repairs using appropriate concrete patching materials to ensure a smooth and even base for the coating.
Primer Application:
To enhance the coating’s adhesion and durability, we applied a specialized concrete primer. This primer penetrates the concrete’s pores, creating a strong bond and improving the overall performance of the finished floor.
Flake Application:
The next step involved applying the Desert Storm Flake Concrete Coating. This coating is a multi-component system that consists of a base coat, colored flakes, and a topcoat. The base coat was applied evenly to the prepared surface, followed by the broadcast of the colored flakes. The flakes were then embedded into the base coat using a squeegee or roller.
Topcoat Application:
Once the flakes were securely embedded, we applied a high-quality topcoat to seal and protect the coating. The topcoat provides a durable, glossy finish that enhances the overall appearance and longevity of the floor.
Curing and Drying:
After the topcoat was applied, we allowed the floor to cure and dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This process typically takes 24-48 hours, during which time it is essential to avoid walking on or exposing the floor to moisture.
Final Inspection and Cleanup:
Once the coating was fully cured, we conducted a final inspection to ensure that the project met the client’s expectations and our high standards of quality. Any minor touch-ups or corrections were made at this time. Finally, we cleaned up the work area, removing any debris or leftover materials.
The completed garage floor was a stunning transformation, featuring a durable, eye-catching finish that will enhance the homeowner’s enjoyment of their space for years to come. Coating Designs is proud to have provided this high-quality service and to have exceeded the client’s expectations.
