Epoxy Floor Alternative: Boston Garage

[RedHawk]

Gentlemen,

I may not know all the details for your application, but be very thorough in your selection of epoxy flooring. I used to own a company that specialized in high end garage systems that included lighting, cabinets, car lifts and more and of course a flooring system usually starting at 100k for the entire project.

I had over several hundred customers spanning 10 years before I sold the company. The reason I am mentioning this is after doing jet hangers, dealerships and many other's if the existing conditions aren't right (i.e. hydro static pressure etc.), the wrong product system is selected, along with realistic expectations than epoxy can become a nightmare. Trust me a Nightmare.

Now there are some incredible products out there and they are effective just make sure moisture tests are done first ( inexpensive kit that is left on a un-coated floor in various locations to determine moisture) go see some previous work done that is at least 2 years old as this will dictate what system to go with. Most systems will fail within several weeks (bubbling, craking etc..) if the above is ignored.

If it we're my money and it is quite a bit more, I would scrap the Epoxy and go with polished concrete using an appropriate sealer (depends on your requirements) and then call it a day. There is some maintenance with it but it will last.

Sorry to pi*s on CT's cornflakes. but it is what it is.
