When is the Best Time to Install Garage Floor Coating?

If your home or business in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) has a garage with a plain concrete floor, upgrading to a resinous coating is a wise choice. Materials like polyaspartic floor coatings can greatly extend the lifespan of your floor, protect it from damage and stains, reduce maintenance costs and time, and enhance workplace safety with a smooth and stable walking surface.

Now, you may be wondering, when is the ideal time to schedule the installation? Undertaking a garage floor upgrade requires careful planning, as it will temporarily render your garage unusable. Here are some key factors to consider:

1. Temperature:

Certain floor coatings have specific temperature requirements for installation. For instance, epoxy coatings may not properly set below a certain temperature, which can rule out winter installations. However, with polyaspartic floor coatings, such as EpoShield's proprietary formula, you have the flexibility to install them in any temperature, making year-round installations in the GTA possible.

1. Installation Time:

The duration of the installation process varies depending on the type of coating you choose. Epoxy coatings typically require several days to cure, necessitating planning over weekends or holidays to minimize disruption. In contrast, polyaspartic coatings cure much faster, usually within a few hours of installation, allowing for more convenient scheduling.

1. Weather:

All floor coatings are sensitive to moisture, so it's crucial to ensure a clean and dry surface for successful installation. Rain or high humidity can affect the process. Checking weather forecasts and avoiding rainy periods is important. If high humidity is expected, using dehumidifiers during installation can help create optimal conditions. With EpoShield's expertise in using their proprietary polyaspartic formulation and installation systems, weather conditions won't hinder your project in the GTA.
