| Today in Eastwood Garage, Jerry Carafelly from U Coat It joins Dennis to discuss the history of this amazing product. As the conversation begins, Dennis remarks to Jerry that it has been approximately six or seven years since he put a U Coat It floor in his own garage, and it still looks like new! Here’s just a little history about U Coat It if you are not familiar with the product.
U Coat It is a do-it-yourself floor covering that will provide a protective, durable, and good-looking finish for whatever room in which you need it most! While that all sounds great, the real kicker here is the “do-it-yourself” part! When recalling the time he put U Coat It in his own garage, Dennis said that part of the secret to their success is the ease of application. U Coat It is made to apply to a damp surface. This helps it go on quicker and easier, but that's not the best part! The epoxy mix they use forms a chemical bond with the water to ensure that the floor covering won't peel or flake. While the dampness makes application easier, it also creates a stronger floor covering that will give a long-lasting finish. In addition, U Coat It is rubber based, so it expands and contracts with the weather to prevent any cracking or peeling.
Jerry and Dennis went on to talk about the important process of having the floor properly prepped, and that means no oil-based residue can be present. In fact, the easiest way to test for residue is by simply putting water on the floor that you plan to treat. Then follow one simple rule: “If the water beads, do not proceed!” U Coat It has all the products to make sure that your floor is ready to go in terms of preparation for perfect application. Another aspect where U Coat It also stands out is the ability to allow owners to customize their floors with automotive paints to match that special classic car. It also allows vinyl graphics to be applied. When applied and sealed with a clear coat, these logos look as if they were custom painted right into the floor!
Jerry went on to say that the locations where U Coat It is now used have grown tremendously. First, it was for commercial applications such as car dealerships. Then people wanted it for their home garages or shops, and finally it has spread to small business owners who want a floor that looks good but is tough, durable, and designed to take years of use and abuse. That is just what they get with U Coat It.
