What to know first
Common causes include inadequate surface profiling, oil or silicone contamination, moisture vapor, weak concrete, coating over an incompatible old layer, incorrect mixing, or installing outside the product’s conditions.
A peeling floor should be diagnosed before it is covered again. Alpine evaluates the failure, removes unsound material as needed, prepares the exposed concrete, and recommends a system for the conditions found.
Warning signs to investigate
- Edges lifting near tires or door openings
- Bubbles or blisters after wet weather
- Coating releasing with concrete dust attached
- An old layer that scratches or flakes easily
Frequently asked questions
Can a peeling floor just be recoated?
Not reliably without identifying and removing the cause. Coating over a weak or incompatible layer can reproduce the same failure.
