Commercial Garage Floor Epoxy

SwedeBro’s team of epoxy experts know that garages in the Midwest need to endure some of the harshest conditions. Our commercial garage floor epoxy can handle the salt, ice, water, freezing, and thawing that deteriorates bare concrete. These conditions can easily penetrate the concrete and create cracks that quickly expand and lead to costly and constant repairs. Epoxy coatings are the only solution for complete and lasting protection that you can count on for years to come.

For multi-level parking structures, we can apply traffic coatings to waterproof the parking deck and keep water from leaking to lower levels. For single level garages, we typically install a heavy-duty, sand-filled epoxy system to endure high traffic and exposure to the elements. Our commercial garage floor epoxy solutions are extremely flexible to allow the natural expansion and contraction of the structure over time and with the changing seasons to prevent cracking and repairs. Contact our team to discuss how we can improve your structure and begin our partnership!

FAQs for Commercial Garage Floor Epoxy

Can commercial garage floor epoxy coatings protect against harsh conditions like salt, ice, water, freezing, and thawing?

Yes, this is the main benefit of installing coatings like this. Winters are harsh on uncoated concrete surfaces and installing a system will protect and extend the life of concrete.

What types of epoxy solutions does SwedeBro offer for different garage structures?

For elevated or ones with space underneath it would be a traffic coating system. For slab-on-grade concrete, it would be an epoxy system.

Do epoxy coatings help extend the life of concrete garage floors and reduce the need for costly repairs? Yes, by sealing the concrete it helps prevent against damage caused by moisture and salt. Without it the concrete can break down very quickly and may need to be replaced.

Can commercial garage floor epoxy coatings be installed if the garage floor is already damaged?

Yes, this is one way that epoxy systems can minimize repair costs. Epoxy costs less than replacing old concrete. Any cracks, divots, or damaged concrete can be smoothed and filled during the process.

Are epoxy coatings flexible enough to prevent cracking and accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of garage structures over time?

The traffic coatings used for elevated parking structures allow for movement of the concrete, preventing new cracks from damaging the coating. For interior floors, once a building has settled, new cracks rarely form. If it’s a new construction project the use of certain engineering designs like expansion joints can help minimize new cracks that form.

What is the installation process for commercial garage floor epoxy coatings, and how long does it typically take to complete a project?

These are typically larger floors and we try to phase them in a way that the garage can still be partially usable. Each phase can take up to 5 days.
