Polymer flooring systems have three major components to compare. See these major components below.

1. The quality of the materials used 
2. The quality of the floor preparation 
3. The quality of the installation and service 

The composition of the products used to manufacture store-bought systems will not stand up to the heat and abrasion generated by the hot tires of a recently driven auto. We remove the remnants of these systems many times each year, enough sticks to cost you money when it must be removed, and it looks unsightly to have bare concrete under the tires when the rest of the coating looks fine. Quality floor preparation requires expensive equipment, which is hard for a novice to rent or use.

Mechanical abrasion (removing the top layer of the concrete before applying a coating) is the best surface prep known and is the industry standard. Sometimes chemical cleaning and degreasing is necessary if the substrate has been corrupted. Concrete is porous. If it's greasy on the surface, it's certainly greasy below the surface, and any “dirt” should be removed before a new coating is applied.

A professionally engineered system that's professionally installed should last a generation, 20 years or more. When you consider it, this is an excellent investment. You will also enjoy a beautiful, easy-to-clean garage, whenever you open the door. What else can you buy today that's attractive, functional, low maintenance, and appreciated?

Maintenance is minimal. Almost anything besides acid can be wiped up with a damp cloth. Most DecoFlake systems are mop-friendly and a yarn mop is common. DecoQuartz, because of its abrasive, very slip-resistant profile, requires a hose and sometimes a plastic scrub brush. Almost any household cleaner is fine. Avoid cleaners with high alkalinity and bleach since they aren't necessary. There are products available on our manufacturer's website www.thermalchem.com.
