Tucson’s brutal sun, dry air, and dust storms don’t just test your patience, they test your garage flooring too.
So how long can you expect a garage floor coating to last in this environment? If it’s installed correctly, the answer is decades. But if shortcuts are taken, you’ll be lucky to get a few years out of it.
Why GFC’s 2-Day Process Outlasts 1-Day Gimmicks
At Garage Floor Coating of Tucson, we follow a true 2-day system, because long-lasting results require time, not speed. Here’s how we ensure your garage flooring performs in Southern Arizona’s demanding climate:
Day One:
We start by mechanically grinding the floor to open up the concrete’s pores. This allows our 100%-solids, moisture-mitigating epoxy base coat to soak in and bond deeply with the concrete. While many companies rush this step, we allow a full day for the epoxy to slow-cure, ensuring a strong foundation.
Then, we broadcast your chosen flake blend into the wet primer for full coverage and visual depth.
Day Two:
Once the primer cures, we apply dual layers of 100%-solids polyaspartic topcoat. These layers provide critical protection against UV rays, hot tire pickup, stains, and abrasions.
The result? A thick, multi-layered, professionally installed floor designed to last decades, even in Tucson’s extreme heat.
The Risks of Fast and Cheap
1-day polyurea (or polyaspartic) coating systems might sound appealing, but they often skip the moisture-mitigating primer coat. Then, they apply a single, less-than-100%-solids polyaspartic top coat only (while we apply two!). These shortcuts lead to:
- Peeling and bubbling from trapped moisture vapor
- Premature failure in as little as a few years
- Staining due to hot-tire transfer
