Parking garage coatings
engineered for the loads that destroy ordinary floors.
Parking decks live a hard life. Hot tires lift bad coatings. Salt and chloride attack the substrate. Expansion joints work themselves loose. We install vehicular polyaspartic systems engineered for traffic — not the same epoxy you'd put on a garage floor at home.
Pain points specific to Parking Garages.
-
Hot tire pickup
Cheap epoxy lifts off the substrate when a hot tire sits on it. Polyaspartic with a properly prepped CSP-3 profile doesn't.
-
Freeze-thaw & chloride
Texas winters are mild but not absent. Expansion-contraction cycles plus road salt brought in on tires destroy unprotected concrete from below.
-
Expansion joint failure
If joints aren't detailed correctly during install, the coating cracks along them within a season. We engineer joint treatments into every spec.
-
Phased shutdown logistics
Active garages can't close. Our crews work in flagged sections so cars keep moving while floors keep curing.
What we typically spec for Parking Garages.
Polyaspartic Quartz
Aggregate broadcast for traction and impact resistance — the standard spec for traffic decks and ramps.
View system →Polyaspartic Solid Color
UV-stable solid color for line striping, directional zones, and ADA markings — won't yellow under UV.
View system →Moisture Vapor Barriers
Lower decks and below-grade levels almost always need MVB. Skipping it is the #1 cause of garage coating failure.
View system →Details that get overlooked.
-
Traffic deck waterproofing
Upper decks need waterproofing membranes integrated into the coating system to protect levels below from chloride-laden runoff.
-
Line striping & ADA markings
Coordinated as part of the install rather than painted on after — the lines become part of the coating, not a wear-prone topcoat layer.
-
Drainage & pitch
We assess existing drainage and pitch before specifying. A coating won't fix a drainage problem; it will reveal one if you ignore it.
-
Fire ratings & egress
Where applicable, we work with the AHJ on flame-spread and slip-resistance ratings appropriate to occupancy class.
Recent Parking Garages project.
Multi-deck structure, phased over three weekends with daytime traffic preserved on alternating levels. Polyaspartic quartz on traffic surfaces, solid color on stalls, full ADA re-striping. Photos available on the projects page.
