Have just started to determine the direction on re-coating the garage and workshop floor. Had previouly used a paint companies product, promises/advertising, after proper prep, was at opposite ends of the actual results, not even close, a lesson learned. lasted 18 months.
Obtained three bids for 885 sq ft. from commercial/industrial flooring companies that coat floors as their primary business. All will shot blast ( Blast-Trac ) and grind the concrete .
Vendor A:
$1,829 or $2.06 a sq ft. Mentioned three epoxy coatings, did not specify product etc., etc
Vendor B:
$2,395 or $2.70 a sq ft. Primed with Hi-Gloss epoxy primer. Final application is pigmented , 18 colors available, Dur-A-Gard. At additional cost not specified, a Poly-Thane top coat is available to increase chemical and stain resistance
Vendor C:
$2,900 or $3.27 a sq ft. First coat of Hallemite's HE 250 Resin 100% solid epoxy at 8 to 10 mils with poly beads added to form a non-skid service. Top coat , Hallemite's HU 1185P Polyester Urethane Epoxy, 22 colors available. Top coat is chemical resistant urethane and will protect from black tire marks
Summary:
Vendor C had the most complete bid including with the bid detail spec sheets and performance criteria on the product that would be used. Area to be coated is not all clear as the
oil tank location and furnace area will require hand grinding.
Does anyone have experience with these products and offer suggestions on additional questions and clarification ?
