Our Garage Floor Coating Application Process
River Valley Floor Shield takes pride in delivering flawless garage floor coating applications services for residential and commercial customers throughout the West Salem, Wisconsin, area. Every successful garage floor coating application follows a series of carefully executed steps. From preparing the concrete to applying the final protective topcoat, each phase contributes to the durability, appearance, and long-term performance of the finished floor. Our proven garage floor coating installation process is designed to help every coating perform as intended while delivering a finished surface that's built for years of dependable use.
Step 1: Preparing Your Garage Floor
Every great floor starts with proper preparation. We begin by diamond grinding the entire surface to profile the concrete and open its pores, ensuring a strong mechanical bond between the floor and the Floor Shield system. We also grind edges and any vertical surfaces, such as steps or baseboards, so the coating adheres smoothly across every surface.
Diamond grinding removes any surface contaminants while creating the ideal concrete profile for maximum adhesion. Taking the time to properly prepare the floor helps establish a solid foundation for the coating system and contributes to its long-term durability and performance. Skipping or rushing surface preparation can compromise adhesion, making this one of the most important steps in achieving a garage floor that performs reliably for years to come.
Step 2: Repairing Imperfections
Next, we repair cracks, chips, or surface imperfections using premium fillers. Repairing minor imperfections before the coating is applied helps create a more uniform finished surface. Once cured and sanded, the entire area is vacuumed to remove dust and debris, leaving a clean slate for the next phase.
Step 3: Applying the Base Coat and Colors
This stage is where the garage begins to take on its finished appearance. We then apply a pigmented base coat, which serves as the adhesive foundation for decorative flakes and color systems. Flakes are generously broadcast across the surface to ensure even and 100% coverage. Full flake coverage helps produce a consistent finish throughout the space while adding texture and visual appeal.
Step 4: Applying the Protective Topcoat
Our polyaspartic coating application is designed to provide lasting protection while preserving the appearance of the finished floor. To finish the garage floor coating application, we apply a durable clear topcoat that seals everything in, creating a high-performance surface that resists wear, chemicals, and UV damage, and is exceptionally easy to clean. This durable surface is also built to withstand regular vehicle traffic, road salt, moisture, automotive fluids, and everyday garage activities. What’s more, the topcoat dries quickly, allowing you to use your new garage floor on the same day as it is installed.
