Installation
How long does installation take?

How do you prepare the concrete?

What do I need to do before installation day?

The coating
What coating system do you use?
GRIT installs the RockHard XPS polyaspartic coating system with Fast Cure MVB, finished with decorative flake in the color you choose.
Is it epoxy or polyaspartic?
Most people call coated garage floors "epoxy floors." GRIT installs the RockHard XPS polyaspartic coating system with Fast Cure MVB. Polyaspartic coatings are known for curing faster than traditional epoxy, which helps make one-day residential installations possible. Garage floor coatings.
Will the floor turn yellow in the sun?
No. GRIT's finish is UV-protected and non-yellowing, so it holds its color in sunlit garages, patios and porches.
Will it be slippery?
Slip-resistant options are available. For entries, steps and areas that get wet, we'll recommend a texture during your estimate.
What about moisture in the slab?
The system includes Fast Cure MVB, and the warranty explicitly covers moisture vapor transmission up to 10 lbs./1,000 sq. ft./24 hours or 90% relative humidity, subject to the warranty conditions. Learn more.
Care
How do I clean a coated floor?

When can I use the floor?
We'll tell you exactly when your floor is ready for foot traffic and vehicles when we finish, based on your installation.
Warranty
What does the lifetime limited warranty cover?
It covers qualifying material and installation defects for the original purchaser, including qualifying adhesion failures, color fastness issues, abnormal wear or abrasion, and moisture-related failures within stated thresholds. Coverage is subject to ownership and the conditions of the written warranty, and not every coating failure is covered.
Can I transfer the warranty if I sell my home?
The original purchaser may transfer eligible coverage once to a subsequent homeowner within 10 years of installation. Written transfer notification is required within 30 calendar days of closing, and transferred coverage lasts for the remainder of the original 10-year period, not the new owner's lifetime.
How do I make a warranty claim?
Report the issue within 30 days of discovering it by calling 843-802-1428 or emailing nicholasnorris@wegetgrit.com. GRIT reviews claims under the written warranty.
