A properly installed floor lasts 10 to 20+ years, even with Ontario freeze-thaw cycles, road salt and hot tires. A poorly prepped one can peel within one to three years. The difference is almost always the prep.
Road salt, slush and constant freeze-thaw are tough on concrete and coatings. Hot tires pulling into a cold garage can also lift a poorly bonded coating, a problem called hot-tire pickup. A UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat and a properly bonded basecoat are what stand up to this.
The coating is only as good as its bond to the concrete. We mechanically diamond-grind the slab to open the surface, repair cracks and pits, and check for moisture before coating. Floors that are simply rolled over unprepared concrete are the ones that fail early.
Peeling edges, bubbles, flaking near the garage door, and a coating you can chip with a screwdriver are all signs of skipped prep or thin product. A quality floor stays bonded and keeps its finish for years.
