Polyurea base, decorative flake, polyaspartic top coat. The same three layers protect a
garage, a basement, a patio, or a shop. What changes is the prep and the conditions.
Here's where we work.

Garage Floors
This is the flagship. Utah winters are hard on garage slabs, every storm sends
magnesium chloride and road salt riding in on your tires to sit on bare concrete until
spring. That's why so many garages around here are pitted and dusty by year ten. A
coated floor shrugs all of it off. Salt, oil, brake fluid, the puddle that used to
soak in just wipes up. We grind the slab, repair cracks and chips, lay the polyurea
base, broadcast flake wall to wall, and seal it under a UV-stable polyaspartic top
coat. One day on site for most garages, and the result looks like a showroom.

Basements and Interior Concrete
Finished basements get carpet. The storage room, the home gym, and the workshop corner
usually get nothing, and bare interior concrete sheds dust forever. A flake floor
turns those spaces into finished square footage you can actually use. Interior slabs
come with one extra responsibility, moisture. New builds especially. We moisture test
every interior slab before we coat it, and if the slab isn't ready we'll tell you that
instead of coating over a problem.

Patios, Porches, and Walkways
Polyaspartic top coats are UV stable, which is the whole reason this system can live
outside. Cheap epoxy ambers and chalks under our high-altitude sun within a couple of
seasons. Out here the real enemy is freeze-thaw. Water gets into bare concrete,
freezes, and pops the surface a little more every winter, and a sealed surface keeps
that water out. We mix an anti-slip additive into every exterior top coat at no charge
so the patio stays grippy when wet.

Shops and Outbuildings
Detached shops and outbuildings take the same system and arguably benefit the most,
since they see the heaviest use. Floor jacks, welders, toolboxes on casters. The
coating takes it. If you're planning a shop floor, measure the square footage and
multiply by eight. That's your number.
What We Don't Install
You've probably seen the swirled metallic epoxy floors all over Facebook. We don't
install them. Metallic work is artistry, and the outcome varies with the artist. We'd
rather offer one system we can make perfect every single time than ten systems we can
make pretty good.
