The Industrial Grade Polyaspartic Process
A floor coating is only as strong as its preparation. Watch Steve explain how our true 3-coat polyaspartic system is installed and how we can guarantee a lifetime bond.
Our 4-Step Methodology
How we transform pitted, stained concrete into a high-performance surface.
01. Surface Preparation
We never use acid etching. The Industrial Grade Process begins with heavy-duty mechanical diamond bit grinding. This critical step shaves down rough surfaces, removes old stains, and physically opens the pores of the concrete.
By giving the concrete a proper "profile," we ensure our polyaspartic primer can wick deep into the slab for a permanent, mechanical bond.
02. Repair & Detailing
A beautiful coating cannot hide structural flaws. After grinding, we meticulously inspect the slab for pitting, spalling, and spider-cracks.
We "chase" every crack to open it up, and fill it flush using a high-strength, 2-part mending product. This restores the integrity of the slab and creates a perfectly smooth canvas for the coating.
03. System Installation
Unlike "1-Day" contractors who count the decorative flake as a layer, we install a True 3-Coat Polyaspartic System.
- 1. The Primer: Wicks into the pores to anchor the system.
- 2. The Pigment & Flake: A colored base coat completely covered by a flake broadcast for strength and texture.
- 3. The Clear Shield: A thick, UV-stable topcoat that protects against chemicals and hot tires.
04. Rapid Return to Service
Because polyaspartic chemistry cures much faster and harder than traditional epoxy, you won't be out of your garage for a week.
Just 6 hours after our crew walks off the floor, it should be tack-free. After 12 hours it is ready for light foot traffic. Within 48 hours, the floor is fully cured and ready for vehicles. After 24 hours you can detach the clamps to close your garage door.

Your Return-to-Service Timeline
Our polyaspartic chemistry cures fast, but following this timeline ensures a perfect, lifetime bond.
6 HOURS
The floor should be tack-free. Please do not walk on the surface yet.
12 HOURS
Safe for light foot traffic. Please ensure your shoes are clean to avoid tracking debris into the new finish.
24 HOURS
You may now re-engage your garage door to the opener and detach any protective clamps.
48 HOURS
The floor is fully cured. You are cleared to drive and park vehicles on your new surface.
Winter Note: In freezing conditions, please allow an additional 24 hours (72 total) before vehicle traffic to ensure a complete chemical cure.
Process & Technical FAQs
Because we use polyaspartic for the primer, the base, and the topcoat, our floors achieve a much stronger, more consistent chemical bond than "hybrid" systems. It offers 4x more abrasion resistance than epoxy and will never yellow or chalk.
Our specialized coatings are incredibly versatile; they can be applied in temperatures ranging from -20°F to as high as 200°F. This allows us to provide a high-quality installation in Colorado regardless of the season.
We offer a wide range of popular flake blends like Avalanche, Cappuccino, Glacier, and Teton. If you have a specific vision, we can custom-blend colors to your exact specifications. View our color options here.
Our 100% decorative flake broadcast provides a textured "orange peel" finish. This provides significantly better traction than bare, dusty concrete or smooth epoxy, making it safer for wet or snowy Colorado conditions.
Colorado Springs Garage Floors provides a Limited Lifetime Residential Warranty against peeling and delamination. We stand behind our Industrial Grade Process for as long as you own your home.
Maintenance is easy because the surface is non-porous. Spills, road salt, and oil sit on the surface and can be wiped or mopped away with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner. Click here for full care instructions.
While the terms are often used interchangeably, Polyaspartic is a specialized type of Polyurea that allows for better "wet out" on the concrete and superior UV resistance. Read our deep dive on the differences here.
