01 · The challenge
A garage slab is the worst-prepared surface in the building. Sealed, stained, and often still holding moisture from the ground under it. A coating put straight onto it lifts in sheets inside a year.

01 · The challenge
A garage slab is the worst-prepared surface in the building. Sealed, stained, and often still holding moisture from the ground under it. A coating put straight onto it lifts in sheets inside a year.
02 · What we did
The slab was prepped mechanically before anything was poured onto it, then base-coated, flake broadcast to refusal and locked down under a clear topcoat. Electrical was run and lighting set while the walls were still open, because that is the only cheap time to do it.
03 · The result
A sealed, cleanable floor that takes a hot tyre without lifting, and a space wired and lit for what it is about to become rather than for parking.
