RaceDeck. Any floor prep needed?

[kngelv]

I think I have finally decided on RaceDeck over epoxy. It is a newly built 22' x 24' garage. Do I need to do anything to the floor – such as a sealer or hardener – prior to putting down the tiles? Thanks.

Other than sweep the sub floor, there is not much you need to do. My guess in that your concrete floor was sealed when installed?

Wow! Quick response. It was not sealed unless they put something in the mix. It was poured 27 days ago. I'm doing the electrical tomorrow and planned on doing floor prep this weekend. I had water-based epoxy in my old garage and planned on doing 100% solids in this one. The more I read about RaceDeck convinced me to change my plan. I plan on calling to get some RaceDeck samples in a few minutes.

Garage floor tiles in general do not need a lot of floor prep. I would say that the cleaner you get the floor (in terms of loose dirt and debris) the more you'll love your floor. Sometimes people thin no prep means they can leave little rock chips and that does not work so wellhttp://www.garagejournal.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif
