Coatings Applied to Backsplash and SpeedCove Cove Base
This West Shore two-car garage didn’t just get a new coating. The homeowner also had us install a 6″ SpeedCove cove base system around the walls. Once installed, our crews applied the epoxy floor coatings to the cove base, floor, and a special backsplash (the homeowner installed the backsplash). This garage had a plain, unsealed concrete floor before our coatings were applied.
The decorative chip floor coating in this garage is comprised of:
- 6″ SpeedCove – the cove base received the same coatings as the floor.
- Base coat: 100% solids, gray epoxy with full broadcast of chips.
- Top coat: Clear Polyaspartic with 46 grit aluminum oxide.
- System color: Adams 1/4'' decorative chip on medium gray (one of the most popular color blends in the United States).
Note: Application of a cove base system is not typical in residential garages. It's more typical of commercial kitchens, restrooms, and wash rooms.
STRONGHOLD FLOORS no longer offers cove base in normal use, residential garages.
Cove base is available in 4'', 6'', and 8''. The 8'' is rarely used, except in special commercial and light industrial installations.
