Can older Park Ridge slabs be coated in epoxy?
Yes, and the preparation is what makes it work. We diamond-grind the slab open down to sound concrete, taking off old paint, coatings, stains and dirt, then repair cracks, holes and imperfections. A primer that fuses into the concrete follows, so the coating bonds instead of peeling, then a base coat, your finish and a polyaspartic topcoat that is abrasion-resistant and does not yellow.
A detached alley garage often has a slab poured decades ago that has never been coated. Epoxy is seamless and non-porous, so road salt, oil and meltwater stay on top and wipe off, and it protects the slab from moisture and water damage. It is cost-effective next to replacing the floor, it has low odor, and it goes on the slab you have. The topcoat is UV-stable and glossy, and an anti-slip additive is available if you want more grip. Done well, it can still look good 15 to 20 years on.
