In reply to Kanni. Hello Kanni. That is correct. You need to etch the concrete at a minimum or grind it for the best adhesion. This article here explains why.

We are buying a new home, it is still under construction. I would love to have a white garage but should we be grinding even if it’s a new garage?

In reply to Erin. Hello Erin. Yes, this product would perform very well. Color flakes will not provide any durability. They are decorative only. The only exception is if you broadcast color flakes to full refusal into the base epoxy coat. When that is done, they create an approximate 5 mil layer that helps with impact resistance, but that is it.

Hi, this garage looks amazing and just what I want in mine. I live in Nevada, which is a very hot desert. Would this product be okay to use? If not, what product do you recommend? I prefer a lighter color, like the white – preferably no flakes…but if I have to have them for durability in the desert, I will consider them. Thanks

In reply to Angel. Hi Angel. No, you would need to grind first. That goes for any coating you may be interested in. Coatings require properly profiled bare concrete so that they can penetrate into the surface to achieve the tenacious bond they are known for. You can't etch concrete that has been sealed either. Grinding can be done with minimal dust if the proper equipment is used.

Hello. Thank you for the photos and info. Your floors look gorgeous. Do you know if this epoxy would adhere to painted/sealed concrete floors? I do not want to grind my floors due to dust.
