Park on a Bolingbrook garage floor that does not lift under hot tires or stain from what drips off the car.
A polyaspartic flake floor is what we put down when a garage has to carry a car every day. Our MK Concrete Coatings crew diamond grinds the concrete, never acid etching it, and fills the cracks and pits before anything else. Then comes an epoxy base that acts as a moisture vapor barrier, loaded with flake until it will not take another chip. The polyaspartic top coat over it is the part that handles hot tires, road salt and UV.
We cover Bolingbrook off I-55 and Route 53, and through town on Boughton Road, Weber Road and Veterans Parkway. After a summer highway drive, tires come into the garage hot, and on a weak coating that heat softens the surface enough for the tire to pull it off the floor. That is called hot tire pickup, and it is one of the main ways cheap garage coatings fail. If your Bolingbrook garage has peeling spots right where the tires sit, that is usually what happened.
Peeling paint or a failed coating gets ground off down to sound concrete.
Grinding gives the base a clean surface to bond to. Acid etching can leave residue and an uneven surface, so we do not use it.
Repairs go in before the base and get ground smooth with the rest of the floor.
Moisture coming up through the slab is stopped under the flake instead of pushing the coating up.
Chips are broadcast into the wet base until it is completely covered, then scraped once cured.
Polyaspartic resists the heat and grip of tires that come in off the highway, plus salt and UV.
We start with a free visit to measure and look the slab over, and we bring cured flake samples so you can see the color in daylight. The estimate comes in writing at $8.50 per square foot, with a $2,000 minimum. If we find an old coating that has to come off, or damage under it, we price that in writing and wait for your yes. We book the days with you, and at the end we walk the floor together and go over when the car can come back in.
If tires are already pulling up your old coating, call or text (815) 585-1750 and we will come see what the floor needs.
