Garage Floor Coatings
What exactly do we mean by garage floor coatings?
When we talk about garage floor coatings, we’re referring to the application of a protective and decorative layer over your existing concrete garage floor. Think of it as a high-performance shield for one of the most used and often overlooked surfaces in your home. This isn’t just about making your garage look nicer, though that’s a definite perk. It’s about adding durability, making cleaning a breeze, and protecting your concrete from the harsh realities of daily life. We do garage floor coatings with a focus on quality and longevity, ensuring your investment pays off for years to come. Whether it’s oil drips from your car, salt carried in from winter roads, or just the general wear and tear of foot traffic and dropped tools, a good coating can handle it all. Our process involves preparing the concrete surface meticulously, which is a crucial step that many overlook. Proper preparation ensures the coating adheres properly and lasts. We then apply specialized epoxy or polyaspartic coatings that are far superior to basic paints. These coatings are resistant to stains, chemicals, and abrasions, keeping your garage floor looking its best. For homeowners in Salt Lake City, UT, a well-coated garage floor is an excellent way to enhance the overall value and functionality of their property. It transforms a utilitarian space into something more polished and resilient. We pride ourselves on bringing this professional service to your doorstep, making your garage a space you can be proud of.

Why should you consider upgrading your garage floor
A garage floor coating is more than just a cosmetic upgrade; it’s a practical investment that offers a multitude of benefits for your home and your daily life. First and foremost, it significantly enhances durability. Standard concrete, while tough, can be porous and prone to staining from oil, grease, chemicals, and other automotive fluids. Our coatings create a non-porous surface that repels these substances, making spills easy to wipe up and preventing permanent stains. This means no more unsightly dark spots from leaky cars. Beyond stain resistance, these coatings protect your concrete from cracking and chipping caused by temperature fluctuations, moisture, and heavy impacts. This is especially important in areas like Salt Lake City where weather can be extreme. Think about the salt and de-icing agents tracked in during the winter; these can wreak havoc on unprotected concrete. Our robust coatings act as a barrier against this corrosive damage. Furthermore, a coated garage floor is much easier to clean and maintain. Sweeping and mopping become simple tasks, and the surface is less likely to hold dust and allergens. This can lead to a healthier environment within your garage and your home. The aesthetic improvement is also undeniable. A dull, stained concrete floor can detract from your home’s appearance, but a professionally coated floor adds a sleek, modern finish that can even increase your property’s value.

What types of garage floor coatings do we offer?
At Under Pressure, we specialize in applying high-quality, durable garage floor coatings designed to withstand the demands of everyday use. Our primary offerings include epoxy and polyaspartic coatings. Epoxy coatings are a popular choice known for their excellent adhesion, chemical resistance, and attractive finish. They create a hard, durable surface that can transform a drab concrete floor into something truly impressive. Epoxy is great for resisting oil, gas, and many other common garage spills. We also offer polyaspartic coatings, which are a newer generation of floor coating technology. Polyaspartics are incredibly durable, cure much faster than traditional epoxies, and offer superior resistance to UV rays, abrasions, and chemicals. This makes them an excellent option for garages that experience extreme temperature swings or heavy traffic. Both types of coatings can be customized with a variety of colors and decorative flakes, allowing you to achieve the exact look you desire, from a clean, solid color to a granite-like appearance. We work closely with you to understand your needs and preferences, recommending the best coating system for your specific situation.

Our meticulous process for applying garage floor coatings
The secret to a long-lasting and beautiful garage floor coating lies in a thorough and meticulous application process, and that’s exactly what we provide at Under Pressure. We don’t cut corners; we ensure every step is executed with precision. It all begins with a detailed inspection of your existing concrete floor. We identify any cracks, spalling, or other damage that needs to be addressed before coating. Our team then performs a deep clean, often involving professional concrete cleaning to remove all dirt, grease, oil, and previous sealers or paints. This is critical for proper adhesion. If necessary, we’ll undertake concrete repairs to ensure a perfectly smooth and sound surface. The next crucial step is surface profiling, typically through mechanical grinding. This creates a microscopic roughness on the concrete that allows the new coating to bond securely, preventing delamination down the line. Once the surface is perfectly prepped and clean, we begin the application of your chosen coating. Whether it’s epoxy or polyaspartic, we apply it evenly and consistently, ensuring full coverage. If decorative flakes are part of your design, they are broadcast into the wet coating at this stage. After the initial coat cures, we might apply a clear topcoat for added protection and gloss, depending on the system chosen. This entire process is managed by our experienced technicians who understand the science behind these coatings. We are proud to serve Salt Lake City, UT, with this high standard of workmanship.
