Here Comes the Sun: Why It’s the Perfect Time of Year to Upgrade Your Garage Floor
Encouraging Temperatures, Effortless Installs, Exceptional Results
A new garage floor isn’t just about the looks, it’s about the process. Now that the Colorado weather is warming up, the task gets a little easier. We understand that garages are home to many items and moving them all out in winter can be difficult and an extra expense. But with encouraging temperatures pointing to dry days with sunshine, storing the items while your garage is upgraded takes less effort while results stay the same. Our polyaspasrtic floor system is quick to install. You will have full use of your updated space in just a couple days.
With your items removed, we start by giving your floor a clean slate. CGS will prepare your garage floor using an industrial grinder to get to a nice clean surface for best adhesion for the coatings. We also repair any existing cracks and imperfections in the slab to help give you the smoothest finish possible.
Once that is complete, we apply a base coat of epoxy and the vinyl chip blend in the color of your choice. The last step of the CGS Floor System is to roll on a top coat of polyaspartic.
This customer chose red, white, gray and blue color flaking in support of a certain football team in New England. But we can do orange and blue too!
Some of the many benefits of this CGS Signature Floor System are:
UV-resistant: Epoxy finishes gradually will experience polymer breakdown with prolonged exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet rays, which will result in yellowing, fading and a loss of that original “shine” as time goes on. Polyaspartics are UV-stable which means that they will keep their original visual characteristics year after year.
Ease of cleaning: The polyaspartic floors are chemical and moisture resistant and much more versatile in their ability to be cleaned, easing their maintenance over time. Regular dust mopping and spot treating spills will be about all you need to keep your floors looking they do on installation day over time. The decorative flaking in the flooring also hides most typical spills or dirt that are inevitably going to land on your garage floor. Say goodbye to the stains and color imperfections from your old cement.
Quality: Polyaspartics were originally most widely used in commercial locations such as airplane hangers and hospitals for their durability and quality over time. As the technology has both improved and become more widely available over time, they are the superior choice when choosing flooring due to their long-lasting, granite-like quality. Because it has to be professionally installed, the final result after surface preparation and repair is typically a smoother, more level finish compared to epoxy floors.
Durability: Epoxy floors are much more vulnerable to abrasion, chipping and peeling. Polyaspartic floors are more flexible and more durable which means they’ll offer superior protection against anything your garage can throw at them – cars, bikes, sports equipment, tools and normal activities in your garage.
Safety: The bottom line is that a damaged garage floor can expose your home and your family to risks such as cracks, unevenness and shifting over time due to temperature changes. We know in Colorado that we have all the different weather seasons. The polyaspartic floor can help guard against those changes as it bonds directly to the concrete, meaning both the visual appeal and the performance features will be locked in for years.
Color and Design Options: We offer five standard color combinations: Salt and Pepper (the most popular choice), Midnight Blue, Saddle Tan, Red Rocks and Granite. However many of our customers also choose custom color combinations. Want to support your favorite local team? We can do orange and blue, purple and black, green and gold or any other combination for just a small additional charge of about $1/sq foot. Whatever style you wish you dream up, we’d love to transform your garage!
With the weather cooperating and your garage updated you are set for all the fun a Colorado summer can offer.
