Q: Can the polyaspartic polyurea floor be repaired?
A: Yes, in most cases the repairs can be performed in just minutes. Garage
Outfitters also offers maintenance on the floors. By sanding the top coat of your existing
polyaspartic polyurea floor, we are able to apply another clear coat enhancing the beauty of your
floor.
Q: What is the biggest difference between GFO and your competitors?
A: Simply put we use 80% Polyaspartic product for each coat of our 3 coat
process. Other companies may use a hybrid, epoxy or polymer product on one or more coats of their
system to cut costs. The end result is an inferior floor in comparison. Make sure you ask how many
coats do you put down and are they ALL Polyaspartic?
Q: How many coats of the polyaspartic polyurea does Garage Floor Outfitters
use?
A: That is a great question and one you need to confirm that the installer is
using the same product from the prime coat to the top coat. We use a three coat process in which all
three coats are polyaspartic polyurea. A few of our competitors cheat and use an
epoxy or hybrid on the first prime coat to save money. This will lead to a shorter life of your
floor.

A: Slide-Lok has been in business since the late 1970’s, pioneering as an
innovator in the garage flooring and cabinet industry.

lifetime of service and durability that particle board and plastic will not.

A: Slide-Lok uses their patented dovetail construction to ensure your cabinets
assemble smoothly. The dovetail design also ensures the ultimate in durability and strength.

A: The doors are heat thermo fused and come with six point adjustable hinges.
Remember, Slide-Lok cabinets come with a lifetime warranty.

way to remove your garage floor clutter.

away the lime in your concrete. This process also uses a lot of water that ends up in storm sewers
damaging the environment.
