Can You Coat Your Garage Floor In The Winter?
In the past, it was impossible to successfully coat your garage floor in the winter time. Old, traditional epoxy coatings should not be installed in temperatures below 55ºF. Thanks to polyurea and polyaspartic coatings, you no longer need to wait for the warm weather to have your concrete floor coated. Their innovative technology allows them to cure in temperatures below zero!
What Are Polyurea and Polyaspartic Coatings?
Polyurea/polyaspartic coatings are extremely thin and very similar to polyurethane. In comparison to epoxy, they have numerous distinct advantages. Firstly, they have a very rapid cure time. This allows the area to have the coatings installed and be back to full service within 24 hours. Secondly, they are flexible so they move with the concrete as it undergoes thermal expansion and contraction. Thirdly, these coatings are 100% UV stable so they will not fade or discolor from the sun.
Additionally, polyurea and polyaspartic coatings give off little to no VOCS in comparison to epoxy. This means that there is minimal odor during installation and the smell will not linger. Furthermore, it is considered to be safer and less toxic than its competitors.
Why Would You Want To Have Your Garage Floor Coated In The Winter?
