From hot, humid summers to icy winters with plenty of road salt, New Jersey garages see it all. A durable garage floor coating should withstand these conditions for decades, but many don’t.
Use this checklist to make sure your coating is designed to last.
Was a Moisture-Mitigating Epoxy Primer Applied?
Moisture rising through the concrete slab is one of the most common causes of peeling. If your installer skips a moisture-mitigating epoxy primer, your coating will delaminate in no time. Every long-lasting garage floor coating begins with this step.
Can It Resist Hot Tire Transfer?
Tires heat up quickly on New Jersey highways and summer pavement. On low-quality coatings, that heat causes plasticizers in the rubber to leach into the top layer, leaving black marks, tackiness, or permanent stains. A professional system with UV-stable polyaspartic topcoats is engineered to resist hot tire transfer and keep your floor looking new.
Does It Include UV-Stable Polyaspartic Topcoats?
Garage doors often stay open while working, parking, or enjoying extra light, exposing the floor to direct sun. Ordinary epoxies will yellow, chalk, or fade. Only UV-stable polyaspartic topcoats keep your garage floor coating glossy and vibrant year after year.
Is It Built for Impact and Abrasion?
From tools to snow shovels, New Jersey garages take heavy abuse. Thin coatings can chip or crack under daily use. A full-flake broadcast system finished with dual UV-stable polyaspartic topcoats creates an impact-resistant surface that withstands real-world wear.
Will It Hold Up Against Road Salt and Chemicals?
Winters bring salt, slush, and sand inside, while spills from oil or cleaners add to the damage. Without chemical resistance, coatings stain and deteriorate. Professional garage floor coatings repel salt and chemicals so your floor is easy to clean and maintain.
