Getting Your Garage Floor Coated During Winter

Getting Your Garage Floor Coated During Winter

Many homeowners assume that installing a floor coating on their garage floors during wintertime is a bad idea. However, it all depends on the floor coating type. Polyaspartic floor coating can be flexible and versatile in terms of when it can be used. This is one of the many benefits that await you once you choose polyaspartic coating for your garage floor.  

While there may be minor adjustments and slight differences in drying time, polyaspartic coating can still be applied in the winter. In this article, Guardian Garage Floors provides three advantages should you plan to get your garage floor coated during the winter season. 

Quality Is The Same

No matter if the weather is freezing cold or blazing hot, a polyaspartic coating provides you with the same high-quality garage flooring surface quality. Polyaspartic coatings can resist heavy impact and have been tested in brutal conditions, such as outdoors on bridges. They can also withstand wear from temperature changes. 

However, it’s important to note that colder temperatures affect the curing time for the flooring topcoat. It can take up to 24 hours before foot traffic can resume and between 24-96 hours before vehicles can be used on your garage again. Nevertheless, rest assured you will still be able to enjoy the benefits polyaspartic floor coating brings. 

Road Salt Protection

During winter, road salt brought into your garage on your vehicles can leave white salt stains on your garage floor. This can also damage your garage floor’s durability over time. Melted road salt and snow can get into your floor’s cracks and refreezes once the temperature drops. Thus, this puts extra stress on your garage floor and may eventually lead to cracking.

To prevent road salt damage, consider getting a polyaspartic coating applied any time before winter ends. Additionally, even with durable floor coating protection, you should still regularly clean your garage floor during the winter months.

Quick Scheduling 

Since many people think they have to wait until the spring or summer to get their garage floors redone, you can book a flooring project as quickly as possible during wintertime. Most garage floor coating companies aren’t as busy during the warmer months of the year. As such, the time between your initial consultation and the flooring project being completed will be shorter compared to the spring and summer months.
