Basement Polyaspartic Floor Coating Installation Process
Before: Getting Ready for the Job
Once the job is scheduled, the first step in the process is for you to thoroughly clear out your basement in advance of the project. This could take an hour or an entire weekend depending on how much stuff you have in your basement, so plan accordingly so you have enough time before the start of the job.
Planning to decide where you will move and store all your items during the project will help make the cleanout process much more manageable. In addition, you can take this opportunity to establish an organizational structure for the items in your basement that you can carry over into your freshly updated space.
During: A Thorough, Detailed Process
With the basement cleared, it’s then time for our experts to get to work. The process of installing a new coating system in your basement follows the general steps below:
- Concrete Prep – A mechanical diamond grinding process is used to roughen the surface and prepare it to bind firmly with the polymer coating.
- Basecoat – The first layer of high-quality epoxy primer is poured, spread throughout the basement with a squeegee and then rolled even.
- Flakes – Decorative flakes are spread over the surface while the coatings are still wet. The next day, the flakes that didn’t adhere to the basecoat are scraped, broomed and vacuumed.
- Overnight Curing – The floor is left to cure overnight.
- Finish Coat – A polyaspartic topcoat is applied over the flakes and grit is applied for texture.
After: Curing & Ready for Use
- Final Cure – After a day or two of letting the floor fully cure, it’s ready to use!
- A Lifetime of Enjoyment – At this point, the installation of your new basement floor coating system is complete and you can begin to use it. That storage system you may have established while clearing out your basement will now come in handy!
