How Spancrete is Constructed – Why it Matters for Garage Coatings

Spancrete floors are common in Minnesota homes. They offer a great way to create additional living space at a low cost to the home-owner.  The concept of spancrete is straightforward, however, older installations have considerable challenges, such as leaking and/or deterioration of the garage floor surface. This article is designed to give you a better understanding of how spancrete is constructed and how G-F One Coatings is able to permanently repair failing spancrete garage floors.

Concrete Surface Finishing

Our Minnesota environment is devastating to a garage floor surface – especially spancrete. Freeze / thaw cycles, road salts, and constant moisture from snow melting and wet vehicles begin to break down and deteriorate the surface causing cracking, spalling and pop-outs.

G-F One Coatings specializes in repairing and protecting your spancrete garage floor. We do this by diamond grinding off the damaged surface, repairing all cracks and flaws and installing a pure polyurea/aspartic elastomeric (flexible) waterproofing surface membrane. We even offer highly decorative finishes. All backed by a long-term, no delamination warranty.
