Curing is the process by which concrete hardens, transitioning from a liquid state to the hard and durable surface that will make up your floor. Although this is often called drying, this is somewhat of a misnomer. While there is some drying occurring in the sense that moisture is evaporating, the process by which a cement mixture hardens into concrete is a chemical price reaction. Understanding how curing happens in concrete will give you a better idea of what to expect if you are installing a concrete floor at your property. The curing process will enable concrete to reach its full strength and determine when you can begin using your new floors.

If you have an auto shop in Denver, Aurora, or Lakewood, the right flooring is essential for keeping your business clean and professional looking, and preventing damage from tools, fluids, other items, and events. One of those events is hot tire pickup. This is a potential issue in many garages. Overtime, it can cause extensive damage to your flooring. With high quality auto epoxy flooring for commercial garages and auto shops, you can ensure a longer lasting floor that is immune from hot tire pickup. What is Hot Tire Pickup? As a car drives, the rolling friction of the tires on the road causes the rubber to heat up. Heated rubber will expand slightly. Then, when the car pulls into your auto shop, the heat will dissipate into the air and the cooler garage floor. As the heat dissipates, the rubber shrinks and the weight of the car means that the tire rubber pulls at the floor with enough force to rip small particles completely free of the underlying surface. Certain garage flooring materials, like plain concrete or acrylic coatings, […]
