We want our customers to know exactly what to expect on a flooring project. Below are the instructions and what to expect when you schedule your flooring project with Colorado Springs Garage Floors.
Polyaspartic Flooring Project
For customer – prior to flooring project job, before our crew arrives on site:
- We will need access to electricity, lights, and water for the project. If any of these cannot be supplied, please let us know immediately.
- Please remove everything from the floor in the project area, and anything that is hanging near the floor as we have machinery we need to be able to use without obstacles. If there are any items you do not want to get dusty, please cover them with plastic.
- Please, no water or pressure washing the area, we will take care of the cleaning.
- If we are coating your steps in this project, please fill in any gaps or divots if you want it to look flat.
Day 1: Prep Day for flooring project
- We will grind the floor
- If you have troweled expansion joints, we will sand and caulk up to 1/4 to 1/8 inch (if included in estimate)
- If you have blade-cut expansion joints, we will not fill them
- We will fill and level any cracks
- If stem wall is part of the project, we will cut down most of the framing ridges
- If there is felt around the edge of the garage, we will angle grind, sand and caulk
- After we are done grinding, We will blow out and vacuum the project site
- Once all of the above is completed, we will put down the primer coat
Day 2: Pigment and Flake on flooring project
- We will put down the same product as above, adding the pigment color of your choice
- We will then broadcast the flake onto that coat
We will then leave for around 3 hours to let that dry
Top Coat
- When we return, we will scrape and recover the flake. This will knock down high or sharp flake pieces and vacuum the floor
- We will then put down a top coat, the final step in the process
We will be in contact to schedule a final walk-through of the flooring project with you after completion.
Use of Floor- Limitations
- 6 hours after the crew walks off the floor, you can walk on it, just touch it to make sure it is not tacky before doing so. Also make sure your shoes are clean please as it will track in debris
- 48 hours after the crew walks off the floor, you can start driving on it
- The only time this can be longer is if the weather is below freezing, please give an additional 24 hours.
This is to ensure that all 3 layers are fully set and pressure marks will not be left on the floor from heavy items
