Project Location: Rochester, MN
Client’s Request: Concrete Coating For Garage Floor
Products Used: Flake Concrete Coating
Project Scope: Client requested to elevate their garage using concrete coating.
Time to Complete: one day
Installers: Midwest Surface Coatings
Midwest Surface Coatings recently completed a garage floor coating project in Rochester, MN. The client, a homeowner, sought to enhance the durability, appearance, and functionality of their garage space. The project involved the application of a high-performance flake concrete coating to the entire garage floor.
Project Planning and Preparation
Prior to the coating application, Midwest Surface Coatings conducted a thorough inspection of the garage floor. This assessment helped identify any existing issues, such as cracks, stains, or uneven surfaces, that needed to be addressed before proceeding. Once the inspection was complete, the team developed a detailed project plan outlining the necessary steps and timeline.
The preparation phase included surface cleaning to remove dirt, debris, and contaminants. Any existing coatings or sealants were also stripped to ensure proper adhesion of the new coating. To address any imperfections in the concrete, the team may have used techniques like grinding or patching.
Application of the Flake Concrete Coating
The application of the flake concrete coating was a multi-step process. The first step involved applying a base coat to provide a uniform foundation for the subsequent layers. Once the base coat was dry, the flake broadcast was applied. This step consisted of scattering colored flakes of varying sizes onto the wet base coat. The flakes were then embedded into the coating using a roller or squeegee.
After the flake broadcast, a topcoat was applied to seal and protect the coating. The topcoat also enhanced the overall appearance and durability of the finished product. The specific type of topcoat used would depend on the desired level of protection and sheen.
Curing and Drying
Following the application of the topcoat, the garage floor needed time to cure and dry completely. The curing process is essential for the coating to reach its full strength and durability. The exact curing time may vary depending on factors such as temperature, humidity, and the specific product used.
Quality Control and Inspection
Throughout the project, Midwest Surface Coatings maintained strict quality control measures to ensure a high-quality finished product. This included regular inspections to monitor the application process, adhesion, and overall appearance of the coating. Any issues or defects were promptly addressed to maintain the integrity of the project.
Project Completion and Client Satisfaction
Upon completion of the garage floor coating project, Midwest Surface Coatings conducted a final inspection to verify that the work met the client's expectations and industry standards. The team addressed any remaining concerns or questions and provided the client with necessary care and maintenance instructions.
The client expressed satisfaction with the finished product, noting the improved appearance, durability, and functionality of their garage space. The flake concrete coating not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal but also provided a protective barrier against stains, chemicals, and heavy foot traffic.
