    Two quotes for garage floor coating – which to choose?

    Very happy with the final outcome with the 4850. Have had gas and oil spilled on the floor, and it cleans up very well. Mike foreshadowed a few problems we had with the install. We had Torginol flakes used on the floor, and selected a blend with a small percent (less than 3%) of metallic...

    Ghostshield 8510 Single Flood Coat Details

    Apologies if this question is getting off topic. I also would like to caulk the joints. What tape would you recommend for best success in covering the crack control joints during 8510 application? 1" wide blue painter's tape? Or 2" wide duct tape? Thank you! Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

    Concrete to Epoxy Floor Transition At Garage Door

    The installers I used did what Billwater24 described. I think they also beveled the "inside" edge of the cut. I expressed concern about water getting into the slab...both for fear of it affecting the edge of the floor coating, and degrading the outside/exposed portion of the concrete from...

    Porcelain tile and a 2 post lift

    Two quotes for garage floor coating – which to choose?

    Thank you guys so much for the input - I am so appreciative to have the expert advice! I received clarification from Installer 2 regarding the top coat. It is a 1 layer of polyaspartic topcoat. I was mistaken in earlier saying that any portion of the top coat might be epoxy. The following are...

    Two quotes for garage floor coating – which to choose?

    Thank you both for your input. Armor, thanks for weighing in about the quartz, I was worried it seems too good to be true. 3-days seems short for a double broadcast. The way I figure it: Day 1 - prep and prime Day 2 - first quartz broadcast with epoxy Day 3 - second quartz broadcast with epoxy...

    Two quotes for garage floor coating – which to choose?

    I am hoping to get some help evaluating a couple proposals I received for coating my garage floor. I actually received 4 proposals for this job, and after reading on this site for the last couple weeks, I have narrowed it down to the top two. The Floor: The garage was originally a 2-car...
