JD Flooring Limited recently completed a comprehensive garage resin flooring installation for a residential client in Disley, Cheshire. The client contacted our team following the failure of a previously installed coating system that had deteriorated due to inadequate surface preparation. Consequently, the garage floor had become unsafe and aesthetically unpleasing, requiring immediate attention to restore both functionality and appearance.
The project encompassed a 34-square-metre garage floor that demanded complete restoration. Furthermore, the client specifically requested a durable solution that would withstand vehicle traffic whilst providing improved safety features. Our team recognised that this garage resin flooring installation would require extensive preparation work to ensure long-term performance. Additionally, the client emphasised the importance of completing the work efficiently to minimise disruption to their daily routine and restore garage functionality promptly.
Following our comprehensive site survey, our technical team identified that the existing coating system had failed due to insufficient substrate preparation. Nevertheless, the concrete base remained structurally sound, providing an excellent foundation for the new garage resin flooring installation. Our assessment revealed that whilst the previous coating had deteriorated significantly, the underlying concrete could be successfully restored through proper preparation techniques.
Based on these findings, we recommended a two-coat resin high build system specifically designed for residential garage applications. This solution offers exceptional durability whilst providing the aesthetic finish required by the client. Moreover, the recommended system incorporates slip-resistant properties to enhance safety and meets current health and safety requirements. The resin high build coating system represents the optimal balance between performance, longevity, and cost-effectiveness for this particular garage resin flooring installation project.
The preparation phase proved critical to the success of this garage resin flooring installation project. Initially, our team employed PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) tooling to remove the failed coating system without clogging standard grinding equipment.
This specialised approach ensured efficient removal whilst preserving the integrity of the underlying concrete substrate. Subsequently, we conducted comprehensive grinding across the entire floor area to achieve the required surface profile for optimal coating adhesion. Furthermore, our team identified and repaired several areas where the concrete had sustained damage during the coating failure process.
These repairs involved filling surface imperfections and ensuring a uniform substrate condition. Additionally, thorough cleaning removed all dust and debris, creating the pristine surface conditions necessary for successful resin application and long-term performance of the garage resin flooring installation.
The installation phase commenced with the application of a two-pack high build modified epoxy coating system, specifically selected for its rapid curing properties. This choice enabled the client to resume normal garage usage on the same day, minimising inconvenience whilst ensuring optimal performance. The system’s quick-cure formulation proves particularly beneficial for residential applications where extended downtime is undesirable.
Our team applied two complete coats of the resin system, incorporating fine aggregate throughout the installation process. This aggregate addition significantly enhances slip resistance whilst meeting stringent health and safety requirements. Moreover, the two-coat application ensures uniform coverage and optimal thickness for long-term durability. The garage resin flooring installation was completed to our exacting standards, providing a seamless, professional finish that transforms the garage environment whilst delivering the performance characteristics required for vehicular traffic and general storage use.
Most residential garage resin flooring installations are completed within one to two days, depending on the floor size and preparation requirements. The quick-cure formulation we use enables same-day return to service, allowing you to park vehicles and resume normal garage activities immediately after completion. However, preparation work may extend the timeline if extensive repairs or coating removal is required.
Failed coatings require complete removal and substrate restoration before installing a new system. Our team uses specialised PCD tooling followed by comprehensive grinding to remove old materials without damaging the concrete beneath. We then repair any substrate damage and apply a new two-coat system designed for long-term performance. This thorough approach prevents future failures and ensures optimal adhesion.
The client expressed exceptional satisfaction with both the final results and the professional execution of this garage resin flooring installation project. Specifically, they praised the speed and efficiency demonstrated by our installation team throughout the process. The client particularly appreciated the extensive preparation work undertaken, recognising its importance in ensuring long-term performance and preventing future coating failures.
Furthermore, the client commended our team’s attention to detail and the cleanliness maintained throughout the installation process. They noted that the garage floor now provides the safe, attractive surface they had envisioned whilst meeting all their functional requirements. The rapid completion timeframe allowed them to resume normal garage usage without extended disruption. Overall, this successful garage resin flooring installation demonstrates our commitment to delivering superior results through proper preparation, quality materials, and professional execution that consistently exceeds client expectations.
A solvent free epoxy coating applied in two or more coats, building a film thickness of up to 1,000 microns. It is specified for medium duty use where the requirement is a clean, hard wearing surface over sound concrete.
Aggregate is scattered between coats where a slip resistant finish is needed. Anticipated life is 5 to 7 years in light use and 2 to 4 years under moderate use.
