Afternoon,
Searched and read through a bunch of posts about flooring. Have some pictures and had a few questions.
Flooring was done on new concrete about 10 years ago that was etched. Held up great up until about 2 years ago. Started to literally wear away in the major traffic area, not really peel.
Also wanted to say that this garage floor is utilized every single day for those 10 years and we live in Northeast Pennsylvania. That would include 10 winters of salt, road grime, deicer, etc. Were talking between 3,500+ days of entrance/exit on both garage bays.
Everywhere else it looks great except those tire track areas (and entrance ledge which is not a major concern.)
I was planning on renting the buffer with the diamabrush attachment to remove most of it and redo the epoxy.
The prior material was the kind you buy at Lowes. (After reading alot on this site I will be doing my next garage differently!!)
Few questions:
1) Based off the condition in my picture, would that be my best bet or do I have another option?
2) On several of the posts when people were answering questions I saw someone mention priming first. I haven't been able to verify what exactly that means.
3) We are selling the home, looking to do the floor to refresh it and give it a nice new look. Not looking for a life time application. I don't want to skimp on it but I wasn't looking to go overboard.
Thanks for your help!!!
