Peeling Floor Coatings
Peeling coatings almost always trace to preparation or moisture. A coating that peels within months usually failed at the substrate, not from wear. Every slab is different, so recommendations depend on an on-site evaluation — we do not diagnose specific floors from photos alone.
Common causes
- Insufficient surface preparation
- Moisture rising through the slab
- Incompatible primer or contamination
How we approach it
- Remove failing coating mechanically
- Test moisture where needed
- Full prep and correctly matched system
Preparation
- On-site evaluation of the concrete and any existing coating
- Moisture and adhesion testing where warranted
- Full mechanical preparation before any new material is installed
- Compatible repair materials for cracks, spalls, and pits
Frequently asked
Can you install over my peeling floor?
Not directly. Failing material must be removed first — otherwise the new coating fails with it.
