Independent garage floor decision lab
Start below the surface. Scroll to open the slab.
01
The slab
Dark spots, efflorescence, and unknown vapor conditions are evidence—not cosmetic flaws.
02
The bond
Profile, cleanliness, repair, and primer determine whether expensive chemistry stays attached.
03
The system
Compare primer, base, build, texture, topcoat, cure, and the person applying them.
Five decisions before checkout
Each tool ends in an action, not a generic recommendation. No account. No email gate. No personal data.
Match slab, sunlight, downtime, budget, and DIY confidence to the right system family.
↗02Calculate whole-kit quantities with coats and waste—then see the material budget.
↗03Turn visible slab clues and measured RH into a coating stop, pause, or conditional go.
↗04Grade the installation before a mixed batch starts the clock.
↗05Score contractor scope, named products, moisture testing, warranty, and cure schedule.
↗System library / v1
Every product begins as spec-based. It only earns a stronger evidence label after sample, field, or expert review.
