System Details
A coating system combines material, finish and preparation
Concrete Canvas uses polyaspartic coatings that cure faster and resist UV yellowing better than traditional epoxy. The system can resist hot tire pickup, chemicals and stains, while a broadcast color-flake finish adds texture, helps hide minor imperfections and provides slip resistance. The existing slab and its previous coatings must be evaluated before installation.
Polyaspartic performance
A professional-grade option for concrete floors that need UV stability and resistance to everyday garage, shop or commercial use.
Color-chip finish
Flake blends create a textured, finished appearance and can be selected to suit the space.
Mechanical preparation
Diamond grinding opens the concrete pores and removes oil stains, imperfections and failed coatings before application.
Surface Preparation
Diamond grinding helps the coating bond
Proper adhesion begins with the existing slab. Instead of relying only on an acid wash, the surface is mechanically diamond-ground to open the pores of the concrete. Existing painted or peeling coatings are removed before the new system is applied, because covering a failed surface can lead to another coating failure.
Possible Applications
From garages to workshops and commercial spaces
Epoxy coating systems can be used on garage floors, workshops, patios and commercial concrete spaces. Residential garage floors are often prepped and coated in one day, with foot traffic and light vehicle use generally possible within about 24 hours. Project conditions and the selected system determine the exact return-to-service guidance.
Common Questions
Epoxy Coating FAQs
What is the difference between polyaspartic and traditional epoxy?
Polyaspartic coatings cure faster and resist UV yellowing better than traditional epoxy. They are also used for resistance to hot tire pickup, chemicals and stains.
Can epoxy be applied over a peeling coating?
The failed coating should be ground off before new material is installed. Coating over peeling material can cause the new system to fail.
Where can epoxy coating be installed?
The system is used for garages, workshops, patios, commercial spaces and other suitable concrete floors after the surface is evaluated and prepared.
