I must have been working to much


If you didn't give all of them away, I would love to brag about it and show pics to all here on my new build! (concrete starting Monday)


(like many, I can't afford a $1,000 floor)

I here ya kyles974, I need a new garage floor. Thats how I got here, looking for ideas and not wanting to "break the bank".

Well,$124.99 for a garage coat, doesn't tell me a whole lot. Is this $125 an ounce....a gallon....7000gallons???? And coverage? This amazing announcement doesn't tell me anything!

based on the 200 bucks for less that .80 a square foot, I would guess that the kit covers 250 sq ft.

 

[rburke65]

You can guess all you want, but one would think RockSolid Floors would have been a little more specific. I hope they don't write their own ads!

 

[evelk]

Rock Solid sounds good

Rock Solid sounds good

compared to what?

 

[kyles974]

well, some of the reviews that I've read online are a little "iffy"

but everyone doesn't have commen sence

 

[kywildcat]

I've had the Rock Solid floor w/clear and flakes down now since April of this year. It has held up very good in the short period of time, and looks great. I posted several pics back in April of the application. Go to my profile and find the link that I posted the pics and report. (I dont know how to move the link here)
My kits covered 250sf each, and I used four kits.

Can you please take recent updated pics please...thanks

The floor looks exactly the same as it did when I posted the first pics. Only two marks that are on the floor is where my spun the tires on the truck. It left black marks that have lightened up, but it never scratched the floor.

If you know how to go back and re-post my pictures, go right ahead because I dont know how to.

 

[www.rocksolidfloors.com]

Guys, The Garage Coat Kit for $124.99 and the Rocksolid Pro Series Kit for $199.99 both cover 250sf. The garage coat is a single coat grey with chip where the pro series is a basecoat and a topcoat with chip. Sorry for the delay in getting the info to you. Let me know if you guys have any more questions.

Not doubting you buddy, but it would be nice for everyone to see how the floor has been holding up as apposed to just hearing about it. Like they say, pictures tell a thousand words.-Take a few pics a post them

If you want specifics go to the web site as well as look at their video.
I understand getting information from owners is good research but just as someone trying to sell you something it can still be biased.
But with that said the pro product looks like a good contender.

How many gallons are included? With that info, we can figure the mil thickness.

 

[admactanium]

Do you have partial kits of some kind. I have a garage that'll end up being 300sf of floor space and I wouldn't want to pay for a whole extra kit just for 50sf.

 

[www.rocksolidfloors.com]

Admactanium, we have the kits packaged in 250 sf kits. Wish i could help you more.

Cruisin90, the dry film thickness is between 3-4 mils.

OK, so you only get about 1/2 gallon of solids.

 

[thegarageguy]

the dry film thickness is between 3-4 mils.

Paper thickness is generally listed as 10mil or 15.5mil. To give this some perspective, a human hair is only 2 mils.

 

[www.rocksolidfloors.com]

Cruisin 90, that is correct.

I won't get into the polyurea/polyaspartic vs. epoxy debate, I will let you guys come to your own conclusions. You can read more about our product and our warranties at www.rocksolidfloors.com.

 

[Cruzin90]

3-4 mils is really too thin. When we apply LINE-X Aspart-X (100% solids polyaspartic), we put down a total of about 11 mils (not including color chips or other media).

 

[thegarageguy]

Here is my take on this subject....wrote a blog about it http://bit.ly/psIqjb

 

[www.rocksolidfloors.com]

Check out our Pro Series Rocksolid Kits for a professional grade DIY floor. The pro series kits were just reduced at Lowe's to $199 for 250 sf kit. A great deal for a 2 coat polyurea system.

Here is my take on this subject....wrote a blog about it http://bit.ly/psIqjb

Sales pitch!!! Most of the article is bragging on your product. Plus your are restricted to the NJ/NY area...

 

[thegarageguy]

Not a sales pitch buddy, just fact....big difference between a painted on super thin mil coating and a poured and self leveled epoxy system.

 

[Cruzin90]

If you grind the concrete, 2 to 3 mils is going to sink into the concrete creating a mechanical bond which is what the goal is. So, you need to put down more than 2 to 3 mils or you won't have much left at the surface as a "floor".

 

[newgarageguy]

two things....cost differences. thegarageguy's blog shows a really nice ferrari sitting on one of his floors not everyone can afford that car or his flooring system (to put it mildly) rock solids offers one of the best "off the shelf" systems for only about .80 a sq ft.... No i don't even have a rock solid floor in my garage but have helped others put them down and seen some abuse they handle.

There is a reason people like cruzin and the garageguy don't post how much there stuff costs. That IS a huge factor when it comes to REAL people deciding on flooring systems. cost vs what they actually get for the $

 

[LegacyIndustrial]

They don't make or sell the product.
They install it.

 

[kywildcat]

Can you please take recent updated pics please...thanks

Here are some pics taken today with my Iphone. The black mark beside the tire is the only spot on the floor

 

[Cruzin90]

I personally don't make it. But, I do just sell it or sell it and install it.

First, love your screen name! Funny that on your first post you decide to bash me and Cousin 90, could it be that you are trying to hide the fact of who you really are? BTW, I post my prices all the time. There is no doubt that my services are more expensive than 80 cents per sqft, but I don't install paint jobs. I can't bash rock solid cause its basically a citadel product and they make some decent stuff. I just want to make people aware that there is a huge difference between a thinner than thin paint job and a poured flooring system with a full broadcast and a polyaspartic top coat. We typically use 200 sqft per gal primer, 200 sqft for base coat, 50lbs of chips per 250 sqft and 100 sqft per gal on the polyaspartic top coat. That is 4 to 5 times the amount of material used on your DIY kits. So If I'm more expensive, there is a reason. People just need to know there is a huge difference between some DIY, specifically a 2 mil system and a pro installed 30 mil system.

BTW Kywildcat, thanks for posting recent pics....besides the tire scuff and bit of discoloration here and there, overall it looks like its holding up well. Congrats.
