Garage Floor Coatings - Is Where It Began

V8 High Performance Coatings began as a Garage Floor Coating and now is found in most building types. While epoxy and other coatings and systems have their place, V8 fills the high end hassle free gap that lesser coatings can't deliver long term. A coating that is up to 5X stronger than epoxy means the sheen will be there years after it's applied. The polyurea and polyaspartic resin mixture means you can open the door and let the sun shine in...it's not going to yellow on you. Are you a fan…College, Professional; show off your colors on your floor! You are not limited to a single pattern or color. Combine your color choice with graphic inlays, and your ultimate floor is done. V8 is strong enough to handle the harshest industrial environments, yet delivers a level of finish that will turn your garage into a show room. Be careful though; what you are parking on this floor might be the second thing friends see when they walk in.

New Basement Flooring Project to Begin This Week!

Originating from an initial discussion on the smell of sulfur seeping through the basement floor, the owner asked about the sealing qualities of V8 High Performance Coatings. As a 100% solid floor coating, the product would definitely encapsulate what it covered. It’s strong bonding characteristics, color and texture options, the project grew from a simple clear coat to a full chip application covering nearly 1,000-sf of partial finished basement. Prep work will include crack filling with the V8 Fast Patch product. Grinding is possible within about an hour or two of applying meaning there will be no wait time in prepping. The entire surface will be scored using 7” hand grinders and as well as a 17” grinder with vac attachments to minimize dust in this occupied home. The no VOC (no smell) was a huge selling factor and knowing the floor will outlast their kids growing up made V8 an easy choice.

Pictures will be added as soon as possible.

Basement Project Continues!

The scope of work increase with the addition of a 500-sf crawl space that needed sealing and crack repair. The special blend mixture of chips the owners selected also took additional time to order and ship. The project continues to be a great success even with the challenges that arisen at seemingly, every corner. Previously replaced concrete created uneven level changes that took considerable effort to smoothen the transition and cracks that were allowing air to escape from under the floor created bubbles in the material and had to be dealt with as well. In all, over 1,600-sf will be completed this week with final picture to come. Here are some of the progress photo’s so far.

Basement is complete!!!

V8 has added Metallic Color Options to it's Palette

V8 High Performance Coating is a high-end floor finish and with the addition of Metallic Flakes, we can deliver floor finishes that have a look of a floor costing 5x as much. Value, performance, quality is packed into a surface coating that can be installed in one day and walked or driven across in as little as 5 hours. Metallic finishes offer distinct luster in an array of finishes including Silver - Gold - Amber - Rum - Onyx - Multy. Other signature blends offer variations of the primary options.

One Day Installation

One day installation is possible with V8 Coatings because of the proprietary properties of our coating. On a floor of about 1,000sf- you will have about 4-5 hours in prep work (diamond grinding – never chemical etching). From the minute the primer coat is applied, only 20 – 30 minutes is required before the second coat is ready to be applied. The chip coat requires about 45 minutes before scraping off excess chips. This is the longest wait time between coats. With most projects, by the time you are done applying one coat (takes about 20 – 30 minutes to cover a 1,000sf), you can immediately start on the next coat. Standard epoxy requires 5 – 24 hours between coats. Allow about 3 hours for applying all coats and within 8 hours of the time you started prep work, you will have a completed project.  5 hours after completion, the floor is ready for traffic.

Safety Line Striping Solutions

Is safety line striping an annual maintenance item? Imagine only having to restripe about every 5 years with very little maintenance in between? Prep is still the key and once down, it is not coming back up. Hi-Lo traffic will not affect this product and it will retain its sheen for years. Any area that does seem to wear over time, hit it with 80grit sandpaper and recoat with clear or pigmented and you have years of wearability before it needs to be done again.
