Fort Wayne, IN – As Indiana heads toward another season of road salt and freeze-thaw cycles, Duration Concrete Coatings is urging homeowners to understand how a garage floor coating is chosen before they buy. According to the company, the wrong coating system or rushed surface preparation is the most common reason a garage floor peels or clouds within a few winters, and both are avoidable with the right questions up front.
Duration offers the following guidance for homeowners weighing a garage floor coating this fall:
Ask how the concrete will be prepared. Surface preparation, not the coating itself, is the biggest predictor of how long a floor lasts. Diamond grinding opens the concrete for a lasting mechanical bond; acid etching and roll-on kits often skip that step, which is why many bargain floors fail early.
Match the coating system to the climate. Traditional epoxy cures slowly, can yellow under UV exposure, and tends to grow brittle in the cold, which leaves it prone to peeling and hot-tire pickup as the slab expands and contracts. Polyaspartic systems cure faster, stay UV-stable, and flex with the concrete through freeze-thaw cycles, which is why they hold up better in Indiana garages exposed to salt and temperature swings.
Confirm cure time and warranty. Homeowners should know when they can return vehicles to the garage and what the written warranty actually covers before work begins.
Duration installs a polyaspartic system it markets as Duralast, which is engineered to be 5X stronger than standard epoxy, UV-stable, and cured fast enough for most vehicles to return within 24 hours.
“The biggest mistake we see is homeowners choosing a coating on price alone, then watching it peel after one salty winter,” said Dan Diven, owner and founder of Duration Concrete Coatings. “Before you sign anything, ask how the concrete will be prepared and whether the system is built for UV and freeze-thaw. Those two answers tell you more than any brochure.”
A locally owned contractor, Duration has completed more than 800 garage floor coating and concrete projects across Allen County and the surrounding region since 2015 and holds a 5.0-star rating on Google.
