If you live in Saskatchewan, you already know what winter can do to concrete, especially in garages. Road salt, melting snow, freeze-thaw cycles, it all adds up fast! This fall, our team at Prairie Curbs & Surface Solutions completed an epoxy and polyaspartic flooring project that perfectly shows why protecting your concrete early matters and why this flooring system is one of the smartest upgrades you can make for your garage, shop, or basement! This project was completed in October 2025, just in time to protect the concrete before another Saskatchewan winter rolled in.

The Homeowner’s Goal - Stop Salt Damage Before It Gets Worse

The customer reached out because their garage concrete was already showing signs of serious wear- despite being only five years old.


What They Wanted:

  • Stop ongoing salt damage

  • Protect the concrete long-term

  • A surface that’s easy to clean and maintain

  • Something that looks great and lasts


After comparing options, they chose an epoxy flooring system with a polyaspartic topcoat - and for most Saskatchewan garages, it’s the clear winner!


Why Epoxy & Polyaspartic Flooring Is the Best Choice for Saskatchewan Garages

When you consider cost, performance, durability, and looks, epoxy and polyaspartic flooring checks all the boxes.


Key Benefits:

  • Seals concrete against road salt and moisture

  • Extremely durable under vehicles and equipment

  • Easy to sweep, hose, or mop clean

  • Modern, high-end appearance

  • Long lifespan (20+ years with normal use)

That’s why epoxy flooring in Saskatchewan continues to grow in popularity, especially for garages and shops!


Condition Before - Salt Damage Was Already Taking Hold

Before we started, the garage floor showed

BEFORE

  • Spalling concrete from salt exposure

  • Corroded, rough surface

  • Visible cracking throughout the slab

  • No previous maintenance or protection


What surprised the homeowner most was how quickly this damage happened. In just five winters, unprotected concrete had already begun to fail. Saskatchewan road salt is incredibly hard on bare concrete and once deterioration starts, it accelerates!


Proper Prep Is Everything (And Where Most Failures Start)

A long-lasting epoxy/polyaspartic floor is only as good as the prep work underneath it. This is where experience matters.


Our Prep Process

For this project, we completed:

  • Full surface grinding using our 20” professional floor grinder

  • Opening the concrete pores for proper adhesion

  • Patching and repairing spalled and damaged areas

  • Extensive crack repair to address underlying issues

  • Re-grinding to ensure a uniform, level surface

  • Thorough vacuuming and cleaning


This garage had more cracking than expected, so extra care went into making sure the repairs were solid before coatings were applied.


Step-by-Step Epoxy & Polyaspartic Flooring Installation

Here’s how this garage floor came together from start to finish:

Installation Process

  1. Grind the surface

  2. Patch and repair damaged concrete

  3. Re-grind to match surface height

  4. Vacuum and clean

  5. Apply epoxy base coat

  6. Broadcast decorative flakes

  7. Scrape excess flakes

  8. Final vacuum

  9. Apply polyaspartic topcoat for durability and UV resistance


Custom Details

  • Colour blend: Feather Grey

  • Chosen for its clean, modern look that hides dirt and tire marks


Final Results - A Total Transformation

The finished floor looked nothing like the before.

  • What Changed:

    • Clean, uniform surface

    • No visible signs of previous damage

    • Bright, polished appearance

    • Professional, high-end finish

    The homeowner was genuinely shocked by the transformation and was excited to offer the garage space to rental tenants, knowing it’s now easier to maintain and far more durable than the original power-trowelled concrete.

This epoxy and polyaspartic flooring system delivers serious long-term value.


Ongoing Advantages:
