Service Bay Coating Systems Offered by STRONGHOLD FLOORS
Solid Color
Solid color coatings are sharp and practical for service bays. We offer sand reinforced coatings as well as high chemical resistant urethanes and Novolac epoxy.
Colored Quartz
A double broadcast decorative quartz coatings system provides similar benefits as sand-reinforced solid color coatings, but this system tends to look more appealing to the eye.
Frequently Asked Questions about Service Bay Floor Coatings
The answer to this question falls into three parts: Good, Better, and Best.
A good floor coating solution for a service bay may be simply two coats of our industrial epoxy.
A better solution could add a high-wear, high-chemical resistant urethane above the epoxy layers.
The best solution is often a sand-reinforced epoxy system (sand between three layers of epoxy) finished with the aforementioned urethane.
Urethane coatings are usually required in service bays if brake-cleaning materials will be sprayed above/around the service bay coatings.
Our staff will assist you in determining what floor coating solution is best for your service bay.
Our team will determine what's necessary to degrease the concrete surface. In some scenarios, an oil-stop primer may be required prior to applying the normal service bay coatings.
In worst-case scenarios, shot-blasting may be required to remove a thin-layer of the existing concrete, which exposes the non-contaminated substrate to allow for proper bonding of the coatings to the concrete.
Yes! Most often, the lifts are just locked in their uppermost position for the duration of the coatings project.
If the lifts have leaked fluids around their base, our team may apply special primers or replace small areas of the concrete surface prior to applying the normal coatings.
No! We can work with your business to coat the entire garage in workable chunks. That way, your business stays open and you get the benefits of our service bay coatings.
Some of our customers have even spread the projects out over several months.
We recommend using an auto-scrubber with soft to medium bristles. Frequency will depend greatly upon how your garage operates and the amount of chemical exposure.
