Thinking that you need an epoxy garage floor coating for your garage. Let us help you understand why you deserve something better.
At Garage Tailors, we provide the best and most trusted flooring solution for your garage on the market – POLYASPARTIC coating. Although people know about epoxy floor coatings, most don’t know about polyaspartic coatings and it’s superior qualities. Our flooring installation team has over 30 years of experience, doing all types of residential, commercial and industrial projects. Some of the things that make polyaspartic coatings so much superior to epoxy are:
- We will grind your floor with a diamond grinder, repair any cracks, fill in divots and coat your garage floor in less than 8 hours and your floor coating will be fully cured within 24 hours
- Epoxy floor coatings will yellow as they are not UV stable whereas polyaspartic will NEVER YELLOW and will maintain its luster and appeal

A great reason to consider installing a new garage floor coating is that unsealed concrete will forever emit dust. When we coat your floor, we will coat both the floor and your sidewalls to ensure that your garage floor is no longer a dust generator for your house.
When we meet with potential clients, we find that many of them will have considered shelving, cabinets, overhead storage, racks and hooks, but a new floor coating is not something they’ve typically thought about.
Finishing your floor with our coating will protect it from the elements, while at the same time eliminating the dust which covers your tools, bikes, garden equipment and tracks into your house and car. And our garage floor coatings come in a wide variety of colours to suit your personal taste while complimenting the look of your home.
When we are customizing a flooring system for our clients, most clients want a seamless coating like our polyaspartic flooring, but we do have a second option available and that is snap together RibTrax tiles. The RibTrax option is a PVC tile that comes in a variety of colours. Making a choice here depends on your need for convenience, floor durability, skid resistance, aesthetic priorities, and budget.
Based on the look you are wanting to achieve and budget, the most desired option is a polyaspartic floor coating. We highly recommend a polyaspartic floor coating with coloured flakes for texture, as it is most durable, doesn’t fade, peal or crack and installed in just one day.
Polyspartic One Day Flooring System
It is similar to the appearance of granite and just as tough while also providing ample grip to make it skid free. We offer a beautiful and wide ranging selection of options and can even customize a specific colour mix for you. It also comes with a ten-year warranty, which provides peace of mind.
We start by testing the floor for moisture content. This is important since if it exceeds 70%, a moisture barrier needs to be applied to assure the floor coating will not lift or peel. Then, we grind the concrete to remove any impediments that are on the surface while at the same time opening up the pores in the concrete to accept the coating. We also repair visible cracks and significantly pitted areas to ensure an even finish. Finally, we coat the floor, add flakes and seal it. And, this all takes one day to complete.
Like just about everything else when it comes to construction, proper preparation is paramount. To ensure that your floor coating lasts it should be grinded using a diamond grinder. Using a diamond grinder will ensure that any existing coating and impurities will be removed and that the surface. When done properly, your polyaspartic garage floor coating will continue it’s newly applied look for many years to come with proper cleaning and maintenance. Our grinding equipment will be connected to a vacuum during this process to keep the dust that is generated fully contained so that there is no significant cleaning required.
Epoxy Floor Coating
Like polyaspartic, epoxy is a coating that is applied directly to the concrete floor. The floor preparation is the same, but application from start to finish is three to four days due to the longer cure time required. The price is about 80% of the polyaspartic, but it is less durable, offers less skid resistance, and is vulnerable to fading and takes much longer to cure.
RibTrax Floor Tiles
Interlocking floor tiles are a good option if you’re looking for something less permanent or even faster than the Polyaspartic floor coating.
