We have been asked this a bunch, and we understand with how good the garage looks.  But we do not recommend coating driveways, especially if it has a slope. Our product is designed for flat surfaces like garage floors because a flat surface makes it fairly slip-resistant. If you coat a sloped are, like a driveway, it can cause the surface to get slick in the rain or snow, and you ideally want your car to safely make it up the driveway in those conditions.

There are various interesting points while responding to this question. On the off chance that the section has sunk a significant amount, then, at that point, you might need to consider having it raised before having it coated. The process involves boring openings in the concrete where it needs to be raised. Either a form of mud or foam can be pumped into the holes and underneath the concrete to lift it back into place. We do not specialize in this service so you will need to find a company that does it.

Assuming the floor is pooling water in regions, this turns into somewhat precarious. It is not that common to have a slab poured and finished perfectly level. There are self-leveling products that exist but, from our experience, when you level one area it forces the water to another area and you may discover a similar problem in another area of the floor.

The other issue is when you begin to lay product on top of other products, manufacturers get pretty picky with warranting floors because there is a higher chance of delamination. In general, it’s not recommended to try and fill in areas that are pooling. We do find that some pooling may be reduced when we coat the garage because we grind the surface of the concrete and coat it with self leveling products which tend to find their way into lower spots. It’s not a guaranteed fix but it may naturally help with the lower spots.

Is Resealing A Polyaspartic Epoxy Coating Necessary?

When you get an epoxy coating on your flooring or garage floor, you can expect it to last for quite some time. Usually epoxy coatings will last for the entirety of your flooring’s useful life. However, it is vital to properly care for your floor in order to expect the epoxy coating to last. Use a cleaning solution to maintain the brightness of your floors and to remove any spills or anything else that could cause staining. We at Solid Custom Floor Coatings offer cleaning solutions that are intended to help enhance the appearance of your floors, maintain your warranty, and extend the useful life of your floor’s coating.

Epoxy Coating Cleaning Tips

When cleaning your epoxy floors, it is important to note that typical household soap and detergents can leave a filmy substance on the surface of your floors. The film is difficult to remove and can collect dirt and other debris causing the floor to lose its shine and leave it looking grimy. It would also be wise to avoid agents that strip your floor, citrus-based cleansers, and abrasive chemicals. Instead, substitute a simple combo of water and a PH neutral solution such as Simple Green when you clean your floors.
