This includes vehicles, tools, and any other objects that might obstruct the coating process. b) Inspect the Surface: Examine the concrete floor for any existing coatings, stains, or imperfections. These need to be addressed before applying the urethane. c) Remove Existing Coatings: If the garage floor has an old coating, use a diamond grit grinder to strip it off. This ensures the new urethane coating adheres properly. d) Check for Moisture: Make sure the concrete is completely dry. Moisture can compromise the coating's effectiveness. Professionals often use a moisture meter to ensure the floor is dry enough for application leaning o Sweep and Vacuum: Start by sweeping the floor to remove loose dirt and debris. Follow up with a shop vac to pick up finer particles. o Pressure Wash: For a deeper clean, use a pressure washer. This helps to remove any embedded dirt, oil, or grease stains. Allow the floor to dry completely after washing. o Degrease: Apply a concrete degreaser to stubborn oil and grease stains. Scrub thoroughly and rinse off with water. This step is vital for ensuring the urethane adheres well. Application Process o Choose the Right Day: Always apply urethane in good weather, ideally between 50F and 90F. Extreme temperatures can affect the curing process. o Mixing: If the urethane coating comes in two parts, mix them thoroughly according to the manufacturer's instructions. This ensures the best performance and durability. o Rolling On: Use a 1/4-inch nap roller for the application. This type of roller provides even coverage and helps avoid bubbles or streaks. Apply the first coat evenly across the entire surface. o First Coat: Allow the first coat to dry completely. Second Coat: After the first coat is dry, apply a second coat. Third Coat: After the second coat is dry, apply a third coat. **Due to high traffic in these areas, for extra protection, a third coat will be applied. ** All work is to be warranted for two years after completion of work and the floor will remain watertight and shall not allow water to leak into any other areas. A 2% retainage will be held for the duration of two years after completion of work.
