1 Day Coatings has completed another renovation project; this time in a large multi-port garage with old epoxy flooring. Our crews were assigned the task of:
As usual, this project took us only one day to complete and you can see the difference our amazing Vinyl Chip Flake system has made on their residential garage flooring!
Our Premier Industrial Floor Coating: Abilities & Overview of Installation
If you’re new to 1 Day Coatings, this is a great time to inform you of all that we are able to repair, renovate and install with our commercial grade flooring system.
Our premier industrial flooring system consists of a proprietary polyurea floor compound that can adhere to any surface to give it a smooth “orange peel like” texture. Our system is backed by a 15-year residential warranty and a 5-year commercial warranty. In addition, our product can stand up tough against: oil spills, abrasions, sudden impacts, water and much more
If you took a moment to read our aforementioned article (link above) then you noticed we place a lot of emphasis on “grinding down the floors to create a smooth concrete surface.” This is a paramount part of our installation process and it has multiple purposes.
For instance, on this particular job we needed to remove the original & failing epoxy floor system. Using our floor grinder, we removed the epoxy flooring to expose the concrete surface below. This fresh exposure of new concrete gives us a clean surface for our Polyurea Basecoat to adhere to. Our Polyurea Basecoat acts as our “glue” holding our Vinyl Chip System to your concrete floor and is the key ingredient that makes our surface so tough for the long run.
Filled in The Cracks & Joint Lines
In addition to exposing the concrete surface, we also take the time to fill in our cracks with our CR Mender (crack repair) system. This mender creates a smooth surface by filling in our surface cracks so that our 1 Day Coatings product can sit smoothly on the surface.
Secondly, and with permission from our clients, we can fill in your joint lines (many garages have them) to create our smooth finish. Some home owners prefer to keep these joint lines and that’s okay. We just offer this as an added benefit to our clients if they so choose.
Smoothing Out The Edges
Lastly, our team can grind out, fill in or chisel rough concrete patches that may exist along your concrete surface. We repair these rough areas to create the smooth flooring system that we are so famous for. Therefore, if you have some rough patches in your garage, warehouse, kitchen or any other area – please let us know so we can identify how best to repair these areas. This is an important step in our installation process and you’ll be glad that we took the time necessary to address these issues of concern.
Installed The Domino Color
Don’t you just love when you finished product comes out beautifully and flawless? So we do! In fact, this project is a perfect example of just how beautiful our Domino Color looks inside of a multi-port garage.
Our client is elated with their new flooring system and all of the added benefits that it will provide them for years to come! Now this multi-port garage can now operate as an effective work space. From parking their cars, to working with tools, painting or playing with kids – this 1 Day Coatings floor is now ready for all that life has to throw at it!
After all, shouldn’t we all have safe, fun and protected areas for our families to grow, learn and play together! We think so to and its our mission to bring our beautiful 1 Day Coatings product to all who desire a safer, well protected area of their home: inside or out!
1 Day Coatings is hard at work again in Weatherford, TX. We completed this garage floor installation using our Vinyl Chip System on December 22 2018 (in just one day)!
Quick tip: for a up-to-date timeline of our installations we invite you to stay tuned in our our Facebook page! We regularly use this page to post updated images as they become available from our field team.
We commonly install our 1 Day Coatings Vinyl Chip System on garage floors. In fact, this is one of the most common environments for us to install our revolutionary product. The reason being: our product can stand up tough against oil spills, abrasions, sudden impacts, water and much more. In fact, we back all of our residential installations with a solid 15-year product warranty!
Fixing a Previous Flooring System
The reason we received the call from our client was due to a failing epoxy flooring in this garage space. As you can see from our images, this floor has experienced some cracking and needing a stronger product to hold up in this environment. Therefore, our client decided to contract our team to remove the old epoxy flooring and install our premier 1 Day Coatings system!
Here you can see our shop vac that we use to vacuum any loose debris. This is a crucial step that we complete prior to installing our Polyurea Base Coat!
Grinding The Floors to Create a Smooth Finish
The first step before we begin any 1 Day Coating installation is to always prep our work space for our crews. This entails cleaning our floors by grinding our floors, sweeping and vacuuming up any lose debris. We spend the proper amount of time necessary completing this process so that our Polyurea Basecoat can properly adhere to our concrete surface.
We utilize our Polyurea Repair System (CR Mender) to repair cracks throughout our concrete top layer. This helps to mend our concrete system prior to laying our base coat. It helps to strengthen the concrete and extend the life of our Vinyl Chip System.
CR Mending: Fixing Floor The Floor Cracks
Secondly, in order for us to create a stable environment to install our Vinyl Chip System, we need to fill and mend the cracks in our existing concrete base. Therefore, once the concrete has been properly “ground” down to expose a fresh layer, we can fill these cracks before applying our base coat.
To complete this task, we utilize our CR Mender – which can be applied to nearly any concrete surface. This product is brilliant because it allows our crews to mend any concrete surface with a self-leveling repair system. This CR Mender has a rapid cure time that mends the top-layer of the crack with a rapid-curing “polyurea crack and spall repair material.” As stated from Penntek Coatings website (below):
Penntek’s CR Mender is a self-leveling, easy to use, and cost-effective solution for a variety of needs including cracks, pits, spalls, and structural repairs. This innovative, user-friendly system provides rapid cure time and extended pot life. The unique, versatile material ensures a successful installation in a wide variety of applications. – Penntek Coatings
Beautiful “Cordwood” Color Selection
What would any of our beautiful flooring installations be without pictures? As you can see from these images, we installed our Vinyl Chip System from front to back of this garage floor. Our client selected the Cordwood Color option which has a nice combination of tans, browns and grays.
The beauty of our Vinyl Color Chip options is their resiliency to erosion over time. Of course, it’s impossible to prevent loss or fading of color in any material in nature (due to fading pigmentation from UV light). However, our product is very resilient to tough environments and will look beautiful for years to come!

Once again, 1 Day Coatings is hard at work installing another beautiful floor coating system. This time, we are installing our premier Vinyl Chip System in Tarrant County. Our client is the owner of a newly developed warehouse and selected our product to protect their floors for years to come.
Despite the large space, our crews were able to get in, prep our work space and install our quality 1 Day Coatings system in just one day.
This Slate Stone is the color our client chose for their new 1 Day Coatings installation.
Color of Vinyl Chips: Slate Stone
For this particular job, our client selected the Slate Stone color from our pre-assorted color options. This is a beautiful gray finish that blends grays, blacks and whites to create a stunning layout for garages or any floor space.
When you shop with 1 Day Coatings, you are able to choose from a wide array of Pre-assorted Color Options for your flooring solution. If you don’t see what you are looking for among our color options, no problem. We are also able to create any custom color you desire.
This is a very popular feature for our clients who enjoy creating custom spaces for their homes or offices.

For some examples of our creativity, please feel free to visit our Image Gallery and see some real life examples for yourself!
Here you can see our freshly sanded concrete floors. We’ve utilized a commercial sander and shop vac to prep and clean our job site for our Vinyl Chip System.
Fresh Concrete – Sanding Things Down
As with any new 1 Day Coatings installation, half the effort involves “prepping” our work space prior to the actual application. As you can see from the images above, our crews utilize some commercial sanding equipment to remove the top layer of concrete. This includes dust, rough edges and old material. We remove this top layer of concrete in order to expose the fresh, smooth finish beneath it.
By exposing a fresh layer of concrete, we are creating a layer that bonds to our Polyurea Base Coat. In layman terms, our Polyurea Base Coat is the “glue” between your freshly exposed concrete and our Vinyl Chip Flakes. This is a crucial step in our installation process; therefore, we take the necessary time to properly prep our space for a successful installation.
Here you can see our concrete formed drain – located right in the middle of this warehouse flooring. This is designed to remove any water from this space.
Digging and Setting Our Drainage Trench
For those who are new here, 1 Day Coatings is a subsidiary of our Advocate Construction division. Under the guidance of Nathan Moore (our owner) we installed a set of channel drains inside this warehouse space. These drains are formed out of concrete and collect our water to help with moisture control and water removal.
This is a small step but speaks volumes about our desire and ability to get the job done right. We have the ability to construct new garages, repair foundations, create drainage systems and much more. All of this is so we can deliver exceptional value to our clients and provide a “one stop shop” for all of our clients needs.
