The Problem: Tucson’s Intense Heat and Hot-Tire Transfer
Tucson’s extreme heat can push surface temperatures well over 150°F, making garage flooring especially vulnerable to damage. When vehicle tires heat up on scorching asphalt and then roll onto a coated garage floor, many coatings soften and absorb rubber (actually, plasticizers in the rubber). Called hot-tire transfer, this results in stubborn stains, discoloration, and deterioration of the coating itself. It can leave homeowners frustrated with a floor that doesn’t last.
Many companies offer low-quality “1-day” coatings that use quick-curing polyureas and polyaspartics as BOTH the base coat and single top coat. When used as base coats (especially in the presence of concrete moisture), a thin, poorly-penetrating polyurea provides inadequate adhesion to the concrete slab. Plus, the single, clear topcoat layer of low-quality polyaspartic (typically, a <100%-solids, 1:1 ratio, poor cross-linking polyaspartic) doesn’t mitigate well for hot-tire transfer.
Because they know their coatings won’t hold up, they don’t warrant against “moisture-related issues” or hot-tire transfer (some even suggest the use of vehicle pads!). This leaves homeowners with no protection when their floor begins to fail.
The Solution: GFC Polyaspartic Flooring
Unlike competitors, GarageFloorCoating.com (Tucson) installs high-quality hybrid epoxy and polyaspartic flooring that is designed to withstand Tucson’s harsh climate. Our advanced multi-layer system ensures that your garage floor remains durable and resistant to moisture, extreme heat and vehicle wear.
- Our flooring system includes a doubly-thick, moisture-mitigating, 100%-solids epoxy base layer. It deeply penetrates the concrete slab (we allow a full day of curing). It produces superior adhesion and acts as a moisture vapor barrier.
- While uncured, we broadcast the customer’s chosen flake blend into the epoxy base layer in a full-flake spread (covering the epoxy in its entirety).
- We return on day 2 to apply two separate 100%-solids polyaspartic topcoats. This 3:2 ratio polyaspartic with high cross-link density provides resistance to UV fading, impacts, and chemical staining…including hot-tire transfer. The 35-mil thick system ensures a long-lasting, flawless surface.
- Unlike competitors, GFC uses a 2-day installation process. The quality 100%-solids coatings and application process ensure your floor won’t peel, stain, or degrade under the Arizona sun.
- We fully warrant against all moisture-related issues AND hot-tire transfer. A quick look at “1-day”warranty exclusions and you will see they don’t!
