Why buyers specify it
- Full-broadcast quartz texture — a mechanical key hot tyres cannot lift, and a surface that hides tyre scrub
- 3–4 mm high build that takes dropped tools, jack stands and trolley wheels instead of the slab
- Dense, non-porous topcoat — oil, fuel, brake dust and de-icing salt wipe off instead of staining
- Safe underfoot when the door is open and the floor is damp; still moppable with a normal mop
- Drive-on at 24 hours at 20 °C for rolling traffic, with parked hot tyres waiting on the day-7 full cure and the temperature correction stated rather than buried
- Supplied as area-sized sets with a consumption table — no re-engineering a coverage figure on site
A 3–4 mm full-broadcast quartz garage floor that survives hot tyres, oil and winter salt — textured enough to stay safe when the door is open and the slab is damp, supplied in area-sized sets for contractors and distributors.
Product overview
A full-broadcast quartz garage system: 4 mm built at 4.5 kg/m², semi-gloss, mixed A:B = 2:1 by weight. It cures to >87 Shore D at the seven-day mark, with 78 MPa compressive, 50 MPa tensile and 3.8 MPa adhesion, a Taber loss of ≤0.02 g (CS-17, 1000 cycles) and 8 g/L VOC. 25 minutes of pot life at 20 °C, walk-on at about 12 hours, vehicle traffic from 24 hours, and 7 days at 20 °C before a hot tyre stands on it.
How this system is supplied
25 kg sets (A:B = 2:1 by weight) with a consumption table giving kg/m² per layer: primer 0.3–0.4, coloured quartz broadcast 3.5–4, topcoat 0.3–0.4. One set covers about 5.5 m² at the 4 mm build — send the floor plan and we size the order, including the door line where extra texture goes. That last part is not a detail: the threshold is where a garage floor is walked on with wet shoes and driven over with turned wheels, and it is the first place a uniform build gets polished.
What a garage floor is actually asked to survive
- Hot tyre pickup. A tyre fresh off a motorway is softer and stickier than the film it parks on. This is the reason the 7 day cure window is published rather than a shorter one that would sell better.
- Oil, brake fluid and winter salt. The build is chemical-resistant and seamless, so none of it finds a grout line; what matters is wiping standing spills rather than trusting a rating.
- Damp and cold slabs. The texture is specified by where the water comes in, which is why a damp floor is a preparation conversation before it is a colour conversation.
- Impact and abrasion. Dropped tools, trolley wheels and grit dragged in underfoot — the >87 Shore D section is what makes those surface events rather than permanent marks.
What we publish, and what we do not
The cure schedule is published: walk-on 12 h, vehicle traffic 24 h at 20 °C, and seven days at 20 °C before a hot tyre stands on it. We do not publish a slip classification for this build, because it has not been ramp-tested. A texture that reads as "grippy" in a photo and a measured ramp result are two different claims, and we only make the first one.
Where it is the wrong pick
An unpainted basement slab with a moisture reading you do not trust is not a garage-floor problem — it is a substrate problem, and our basement floor coating is the one specified to go over a below-grade slab. And this build carries no weather-resistance claim: a ramp that sees rain and de-icing salt is a deck specification, not a garage one.
A garage floor does not fail under the weight of the car. It fails in four specific places: a hot tyre on a topcoat that was never fully cured, which takes the film off with it when the car moves; water and de-icing salt carried in past the door and left against the coating; slab moisture, because a garage slab is normally poured on grade with no damp-proof membrane and the open door dries the surface enough to make it look fine; and soft tyre compound plus grit, which leaves black scrub marks that a gloss seal cannot hide.
So the system is built around those four. A full broadcast of coloured quartz into a high-solids epoxy gives a mechanical key the tyre cannot get under, and a thickness that takes impact from dropped tools rather than transmitting it to the concrete. The topcoat is a dense, non-porous film that resists oil, fuel and salt solution for the hours they are actually in contact with it. And the cure schedule is published, because hot-tyre performance is mostly a question of whether the resin was allowed to finish crosslinking before somebody parked on it.
We are aware that “hot tyre resistant” is the phrase every supplier in this category uses, and we are equally aware that almost none of them publish a test method behind it. We will not invent a standard number to win that argument. What we publish instead is the mechanism, the build-up, the drive-on times at stated temperatures, and the seven-day cure before a hot vehicle stands on it — which is the part a flooring contractor can actually control and a distributor can actually enforce.

Application sequence
Find out what is already on the slabWeek −2
New garages are commonly poured with a cure-and-seal or a floor hardener, and previous owners love gloss paint. Drop water on it: if it beads rather than soaking in within a minute, there is something on there that has to come off. A milky white bloom under a failed coating is the same story.
Measure the slab, do not eyeball itWeek −2
Moisture ≤ 4 % CM by CM test, or a 24-hour taped polyethylene sheet near the door and at the centre. A garage slab is normally on grade with no damp-proof membrane, and the open door dries the top centimetre enough to fool anyone looking at it.
Degrease, then diamond-grindDay 1, 3–4 h per 100 m²
Oil spots first — grinding a wet oil stain drives it deeper into an open profile. Then grind to CSP 2–4, expose sound concrete and vacuum to a dust-free surface. No grinding is the single most reliable predictor of a lifted garage floor.
Repair and detailDay 1–2
Static cracks routed and filled, corners and the door threshold detailed, expansion and perimeter joints left as joints with a flexible detail. Check the fall: garage slabs slope to the door, and water has to leave.
Prime and broadcastDay 2, then 12–16 h
Primer worked into the profile, then full saturation with coloured quartz into the wet film — one bay and one door line per pot. Back-drag to seat the aggregate once it has set enough to walk on.
Topcoat and release by temperatureDay 3, then 7 d
Dense seal coat, fine aggregate added along the door line where water and salt come in. Walk-on 12 h, drive-on 24 h at 20 °C, and no hot tyre standing on it before day 7.
Field tips
- A cure-and-seal or hardener left under the coating is the most common garage failure we get asked about. It is not visible from the truck. Test before you quote.
- Do not let anyone sell this as a roll-on-over-dirty-concrete job. The listings that promise no surface preparation are the ones that come back up in a year.
- Drive-on time and hot-tyre time are not the same number. A car can roll on at 24 hours; a car parked hot for eight hours needs a fully cured film. Put both in the handover.
- Texture is specified by where the water comes from, not by taste. A smooth gloss seal in a climate that carries snow in through the door is a liability along the door line.
- Choose a mid-tone. Black tyre scrub and grit marks show on a dark, high-gloss floor and disappear on a warm grey or tan with a broadcast profile.
- Treat a certificate number on a datasheet as a claim to read, not a property to trust. In this category we have seen a halogen-content standard quoted where a slip classification belongs.
- Never bridge a movement joint or the perimeter joint with rigid resin. A garage slab also swings in temperature more than the conditioned floors inside it.

Where this system works
Home workshops and man caves
Takes dropped tools, jack stands and trolley wheels, and wipes clean of cutting oil and adhesive.
Small service bays and fitment workshops
Degreaser-tolerant sealing; specify the heavier build and a maintenance topcoat for daily duty.
Showroom and display floors
Gloss seal option for lighting reflection under vehicle loads; mid-tone where tyre scrub has to stay invisible.
Heated garages and garage-basement combinations
Works, but treat it as a below-grade job: moisture testing first, and see the basement system for the damp-proof logic.

After handover
- Sweep the grit out. Grit under a tyre is what polishes a textured floor flat and leaves black marks.
- Oil and fuel: wipe, then neutral or mildly alkaline degreaser, then rinse. Do not leave a puddle of either overnight.
- Along the door line through winter, rinse salt solution away rather than letting it dry on the coating; a mat at the door does most of the work.
- Do not use acid-based wheel cleaner on the floor. It is the one household chemical that will dull an epoxy topcoat.
- Re-apply a maintenance topcoat every 4–6 years on a busy garage; the broadcast underneath normally outlives several seals.
Frequently asked questions
Is it actually hot-tyre resistant, or is that a marketing phrase?
It is a real failure mode and a real specification point, but almost nobody in this category publishes a test behind the claim, so treat the phrase with suspicion. What controls it is three things: a full-broadcast profile the tyre cannot get under, a topcoat with enough softening resistance, and a film that has finished crosslinking before a hot car stands on it. We publish the second and third as a cure schedule — seven days at 20 °C — and we do not attach a standard number we have not been tested to. If your project needs a documented test, ask us for a panel and we will arrange one.
When can I drive the car back in?
Foot traffic at about 12 hours and vehicle traffic at about 24 hours at 20 °C. That is rolling traffic, not parking: a hot tyre left standing needs the film fully cured, so take it to day 7 at 20 °C before the car sleeps in the garage. An unheated garage at 10 °C roughly doubles those times — tell us your climate and we will write the schedule into the order.
My slab is new. Can I coat it straight away?
Not without two checks. It needs 28 days minimum to cure and dry, and you need to know whether the pourer applied a cure-and-seal or a floor hardener — that is very common on garage slabs and it has to be removed by grinding, because nothing bonds to it reliably. Drop water on the slab: if it beads instead of soaking in within a minute, there is a sealer on there.
Do I really need a moisture test for a garage?
Yes, and more often than for an interior floor. A garage slab is normally poured on grade, frequently with no damp-proof membrane under it, and the big open door dries the surface enough to make a wet slab look perfectly fine. Our threshold is 4 % CM, 4 lb /1000 ft² / 24 h MVER or 75 % RH, measured at the door line and at the centre. If the slab fails, the answer is a moisture-tolerant primer or a different system — not a coating sold as able to take anything.
What about oil, brake fluid and the salt we track in during winter?
Engine oil, fuel and brake dust wipe off a dense topcoat without marking if they are dealt with in hours rather than weeks. Glycol brake fluid and standing diesel are the two that will attack a film if they sit. De-icing salt solution is fine as contact; it is the brine left to dry along the door line all winter that dulls the gloss, which is why we put extra texture and a rinse routine there.
Can I use it on an outdoor driveway?
Not as specified. Plain epoxy ambers and, if left in sun, will eventually chalk; a driveway also gets freeze-thaw at the surface, no door line to control water and a plough. For an outdoor apron we quote a UV-stable topcoat over a build chosen for that exposure — tell us the climate and the traffic and we will say plainly whether an epoxy is the right answer there, because in a lot of cases it is not. If a supplier sells you an interior garage system for a ploughed driveway, the failure is scheduled, not possible.
Is it slippery when wet?
The full-broadcast profile is the reason this system is chosen for garages over a smooth self-levelling floor: it keeps a mechanical breakaway when the door is open and the floor is damp. We do not publish an R-class or a friction coefficient for it, because we have not tested this build to one — texture is specified by where the water comes from. If your documentation needs a classification we will arrange a ramp test on your build.
Can you supply a kit for one car garage?
We supply systems as area-sized sets with a consumption table showing kg/m² per layer, so a contractor or distributor can quote and stock by floor area rather than by a boxed kit. We do not do retail small-pack kits with a roller in the carton — that is a different supply chain from ours and we would rather say so than send you a box that cannot cover your slab.
There is an old coating on it that is peeling at the edges. Can I just recoat?
No. Peeling edges mean the old film has lost its bond, and a new coat on top inherits that. The old coating comes off by grinding, then the slab gets re-tested for moisture and re-primed. If a small area is sound you can feather the edge into it, but that is a repair detail, not a shortcut over a failing floor.
Will my tyres mark it black?
Soft tyre compound plus grit leaves black scrub marks on any floor — that is physics, not a coating defect. It is highly visible on a dark gloss surface and largely invisible on a mid-tone with a broadcast profile, which is what we specify for garages. A maintenance topcoat every few years resets it.
