The Detailed Installation Process

The success of epoxy and polyaspartic flooring depends on a meticulous, multi-step installation process that ensures a strong bond and long-lasting performance:

1. Surface Preparation: The existing concrete surface is cleaned, patched and ground to remove any imperfections and create the perfect bonding profile.
2. Epoxy Base Coat Application: A base layer of moisture-mitigating, 100%-solids epoxy is applied to the prepared surface, providing a resilient foundation. This thick coat is left to cure overnight, ensuring deep concrete penetration and a secure and lasting bond. ( It acts as the moisture vapor barrier).
3. Polyaspartic Topcoats Application: The next day, two 100%-solids polyaspartic topcoats are applied (not just one!). These layers seal the floor, providing resistance to impacts, UV light, chemical exposure and plasticizer migration. This is a key part of GFC’s unique 2-day system.
4. Final Inspection and Finishing: The coating is thoroughly inspected for quality and consistency, ensuring that the result is seamless and high-performing.
