You may have heard the saying, “If it’s done in a day, it won’t last.” While that might apply to some things, it doesn’t hold water when it comes to expertly installed one-day floors—especially when the job is done by professionals who know exactly what they’re doing.
At All Sealed Up, we often hear concerns from homeowners who’ve been told that one-day floor coatings are destined to fail. The truth? It’s not the speed of installation that causes floors to fail—it’s the quality of the process and the people doing the work.
Here’s why our one-day floors are built to last:
Precision Grinding and Surface Prep
Every successful floor starts with a properly prepped surface. Our installers don’t cut corners. We take our time to mechanically grind the concrete, opening up the pores and removing any contaminants, coatings, or imperfections. This critical first step is what allows our basecoat to bond seamlessly and permanently to the surface.
Basecoat Applied with Care and Consistency
It’s not just about slapping on a coating and calling it a day. We apply our polyurea basecoat at the proper thickness, carefully measured for the type of concrete and usage needs. Rushing this step can result in uneven coverage or premature wear—and that’s just not how we work.
We Wait for the Cure
Unlike companies that rush through the job just to hit a “one-day” marketing promise, we respect the curing process. Every stage of the floor installation—especially the basecoat—needs time to properly settle and bond. Our installers are trained to monitor conditions like temperature and humidity to ensure every step is done under ideal conditions. We are never in a hurry at the expense of quality.
Topcoat Done Right
Finally, our UV-stable, chemical-resistant topcoat is applied with the same level of detail and professionalism. This layer locks everything in, protects the color chips, and gives your floor that durable, easy-to-clean finish we are known for.
“One-Day” Doesn’t Mean Every Floor is One Day
Let’s clear up one more thing: not every project can or should be done in one day. The size and condition of your concrete surface matter. Our one-day floor system works great for standard residential garages and similar-sized areas—but if a space is too large or requires extensive repair, we’ll take the extra time needed to do it right.
We don’t force a one-day timeline onto jobs that require more. At All Sealed Up, we let the floor—and the process—dictate the schedule.
Bottom Line: It’s Not the Speed—It’s the Skill
Our systems are designed to be installed in a single day without cutting corners. That’s because our installers are trained, experienced, and pay attention to every detail. We don’t race the clock—we follow a perfected process that’s both time-efficient and structurally sound.
So, the next time someone tells you one-day floors are bound to fail, tell them this:
It’s not how fast the job is done—it’s how well it’s done. And at All Sealed Up, we never sacrifice quality for speed
