Hello,
I plan on doing a polyurea floor on my garage using Nohr-S. Almost everything is ready, but I am still pondering how to handle the transition for the garage door.
I've attached two pictures. You can there is a 'lip' where the garage transitions to the outside. The garage door also comes down inside the lip. The lower part of the lip is also very curved, which may be hard to make out in the pictures. Actually, I decided to open up paint and quickly illustrate the shape of the lip.
The inner side garage door weather seal sits along this curve.
So I'm trying to figure out how far I should extend the coating. At first I was thinking just to cover all of the concrete up until it transitions to the brick driveway. This does take it out a good 6+ inches from the garage door though. But then the coating can also "grip" down the side of the concrete where it ends.
I also considered doing it to just under where the garage door ends, but then it just ends on a flat surface with nothing to grab, and I fear that would be easily chipped or picked up by things entering the garage.
And the last option would be just coating up until the top of the lip, so there is no coating underneath the garage door or outside of it. This is slightly better than the second option; there will be a clear transition point from coating to not coated. However, I'm not sure if it stopping there would also make it apt to picking up when stuff comes in. I suppose I could also just take it down to the bottom of the curve. If it was a straight up vertical transition, that's probably what I would do. But since it has a much larger curve than that, I'm not sure.
I figure I'd ask for suggestions from people who are far more knowledgeable than me. I've worked hard cleaning the floor so that the coating will last as long as possible, and I don't want this transition to be the point where things break down.
Thanks in advance.
