The first step in the preparation of your floors for any epoxy coating is to first grind the floor. This is done by means of a walk behind grinder that will remove any concrete sealer and give the surface a profile of 3 according to ICRI STANDARDS. While grinding, the grinder is attached to a HEPA dustless vacuum to absorb most of the concrete powder and prevent it from becoming airborne. In areas too small for the walk behind grinder to fit we use a seven inch handheld grinder also attached to the vacuum.
Once the grinding is complete, we will scrape the joints and clean the whole floor using the vacuum to remove all the dust out of the pores of the concrete.
At this point in the concrete preparation process we will partially caulk the control joints, repair cracks, holes, and divots usually with a premium self-leveling underlayment.
Right before we start the epoxy process, we will blow out the entire concrete floor one last time and do a thorough walk through of the preparation of the floor to make sure nothing was missed, if there was it will be addressed at this time.

Taking care of edges with a handheld grinder
Our Granitex system begins with a Polyaspartic coating into which vinyl paint chips in a color of your choosing will be broadcast until complete coverage is achieved.
Once dry we will scrape off all excess chips and apply an acrylic clear that will typically dry between 1-2 hours, at which point we will finish it off with a coat of Polyaspartics clear coat and anti-skid if you like.
A small amount of Aluminum oxide can be added to the top coat to give a small amount of grip to the floor, without making it hard to mop the floor
You must wait two days before walking or placing anything light i.e. boxes on the floor.
You must wait four days before driving your vehicle or placing heavy items i.e. rolling toolboxes, fridges or heavy shelves on the floor.
After two days you can close the garage door, remember to remove the stop that was placed in the rail.
