From blazing summers to sudden downpours, garage floors in Houston are up against serious environmental stress. But too often, coatings are selected based on convenience or cost—not long-term performance. At Garage Floor Coatings of Houston, we help homeowners make the smarter choice: our hybrid polyaspartic and 100%-solids garage floor epoxy coating systems that outperform every shortcut on the market.
Myth #1: Epoxy Coatings Are Basically Paint
This is one of the most common misconceptions. A lot of garage “epoxies” are actually water- or solvent-based formulas that go on thin and cure even thinner. That’s because these formulas evaporate as they dry—leaving behind a fragile layer of film.
The Truth: GFC’s moisture-mitigating, 100%-solids garage floor epoxy doesn’t. It contains no fillers or water. Once applied, it cures into a thick, durable base coat that can handle everything from vehicle weight to tool drops to high humidity.
Myth #2: 1-Day Systems Work Just as Well
The Gulf Coast is full of companies promoting “1-day” installs—but what they don’t tell you is that speed comes at a cost. These systems often use a polyurea or polyaspartic as BOTH the base coat and clear top coat to speed up the process. While polyurea-polyaspartics are great for topcoats, they’re lousy direct-to-concrete base coats. They cure far too quickly (especially in the presence of moisture) to deeply penetrate and properly bond with concrete slab…this is especially true in humid climates like Houston.
The Truth: The key to a long-lasting garage floor is the base coat. GFC of Houston uses a moisture-mitigating, 100%-solids garage floor epoxy that slowly penetrates and bonds with the concrete slab, ensuring superior adhesion and structural integrity. The result is a floor that performs better and lasts longer—even in Houston’s extreme heat and humidity.
Myth #3: Moisture from the Slab Can’t Be Stopped
In a humid city like Houston, many assume moisture damage is inevitable. Peeling, bubbling, and discoloration are often blamed on bad luck or poor cleaning.
The Truth: It’s not about luck—it’s about using the right materials. Our moisture-mitigating garage floor epoxy offers excellent moisture mitigation by forming a dense, impermeable layer over the concrete. It stands up to vapor pressure and keeps the coating intact, season after season.
Don’t settle for shortcuts. Garage Floor Coatings of Houston delivers true protection, with a garage floor epoxy foundation that’s built for the Gulf Coast. No evaporation. No guesswork. Just flooring that lasts.
