Epoxy Flooring in Draper, UT

Epoxy flooring in Draper starts with watching the thermometer. Wikipedia notes that Draper is slightly drier in winter and sees more temperature extremes than other Salt Lake suburbs, with winter averages from 30 to 50 degrees and summer averages from 80 to 100. Coatings are chemical products, and both the slab temperature and the air temperature decide how fast they set. We plan each install around that.

Cold-weather installs

When a garage slab is cold, epoxy thickens and cures slowly. If the concrete temperature sits near the dew point, moisture can form on the surface and ruin adhesion. In the cooler months we measure slab temperature and dew point before we start. Polyaspartic topcoats cure at lower temperatures than many epoxies, so they are often the better pick for a late-fall or early-spring job.

Hot-weather installs

Summer brings the opposite problem. A hot slab speeds up the cure and cuts the time available for spreading resin and broadcasting flake. We work in smaller sections, start in the morning and keep the garage door partly closed to block direct sun when we can.

A city built since 1990

Draper grew from 7,257 residents in 1990 to 51,017 in 2020. Census survey data shows about 29.2% of homes went up in the 1990s and 34.6% in the 2000s. Many of those garages still have their original surface, and some were sealed by the builder. A grind removes that sealer and opens the concrete so the new coating can bond. Newer slabs also tend to be flat, which makes a smooth metallic or solid-color finish a good option.

Office campuses and tech spaces

Draper hosts the headquarters of 1-800 Contacts, Control4, HealthEquity and Pluralsight, plus an eBay campus. Offices like these have break rooms, server and storage rooms, loading docks and fitness areas. We can install seamless coatings that resist spills and clean fast, and we can phase the work around business hours.

From egg farms to garages

In the 1940s Draper was known as the Egg Basket of Utah, and one poultry farm kept more than 10,000 chickens in the 1950s. A few older outbuildings and barns still stand around town. If you have one with a concrete floor you want to reuse as a shop or storage room, we can look at it and tell you honestly whether the slab is a good candidate.
