Concrete can take a beating, but it is not indestructible. Time, snow, salt, gasoline leaks, oil leaks, corrosive element spills can all cause concrete problems in the garage. Not just the appearance of the floor but the strength, structure and health of the floor.
Here are 4 concrete issues that can easily be resolved with concrete coating from Garage Store.
1. Cracking
Concrete cracks are common. Cracks begin on the surface and will get deeper as time goes on, if the cracks reach the subgrade you will have to completely replace the concrete. Replacing the concrete will be necessary to maintain the strength of the floor and can be very costly.
Taking care of concrete cracks as soon as possible with concrete coating will save you from having to replace the entire slab and will cost much less than a full tear out and replacement.
However, sealing concrete with concrete coating prior to cracks appearing is the best option, and a great reason to coat your concrete before issues arise.
2. Scaling
Concrete scaling is a common problem due to time and wear and tear. The surface layer of concrete will break down because of harsh chemicals and road salt. As the surface breaks away, the layers of concrete deeper down are then also exposed to damage.
Until the concrete is resurfaced it will not stop. Concrete coating is a great option that can resist further damage and abrasion, prolonging the life of your concrete floor.
3. Discoloration & Stains
Most concrete discoloration is caused by stains from fluids and corrosive chemicals like oil, gas, cleaning products, etc. Leaving stains on your concrete surface. Concrete is a porous surface that harbors dirt, bacteria, stains, and other hard to clean material. Concrete discoloration is unattractive and can be unhealthy too.
The best way to deal with discoloration is concrete coating, this protective layer not only covers unsightly stains it also prohibits further stains from occurring.
4. Never “Clean”
Untreated, bare concrete is difficult to clean; the porous nature is a perfect environment for dirt and bacteria, making it unsanitary, unhealthy and unattractive.
Garage Store’s decorative floor systems revitalize damaged and hard-to-clean concrete floors, turning them into elegant and durable surfaces.
