A Coating Lesson From the Lighthouse

Epoxy flooring in Jupiter takes a cue from the town's most famous landmark. Wikipedia notes that Hurricane Jeanne in 2004 sandblasted the paint off the upper part of the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, and the tower was later recoated with a mineral coating. Even a brick tower built in 1860 needed a better coating to handle wind, sand and salt. A garage floor near the inlet faces the same forces at a smaller scale.

The boating garage

Jupiter sits at the mouth of the Loxahatchee River, at the south end of the Indian River Lagoon and on the Intracoastal Waterway. Many garages here hold rods, coolers, dive tanks and sometimes a boat on a trailer. That gear brings in salt water. Our usual approach:

A chemical-resistant topcoat that handles bait, fuel and salt.
A textured flake finish so a wet floor stays grippy.
A slight slope to the door, if the slab already has one, so rinse water runs out.
Extra coats near the door where trailers and wet gear land first.

Homes built in the 1980s and after

Point2Homes data shows 37.1% of homes in town were built in the 1980s, with another 18.8% from 2000 to 2009. The population grew from 9,868 in 1980 to 61,047 in 2020. Most slabs are sound but have decades of wear or a builder sealer that needs grinding off.

Owners who stay

The same Census summary puts owner occupancy at 78.5%. Owners who plan to keep their homes often want a floor that lasts many seasons. A full system with a polyaspartic topcoat costs more than a one-coat kit, and we lay out the difference clearly.

Research and ballpark floors

Scripps Research runs a 350,000-square-foot campus with about 360 scientists and staff here, and the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience is nearby. Labs, storage and support areas need floors that tolerate cleaners and spills. Roger Dean Stadium hosts spring training for two major league teams, and concession and storage areas around venues like that take heavy traffic.

Brief, frequent storms

Daily thundershowers are common in the hot season, Wikipedia says, though they are brief. We start early so the base coat sets before the afternoon rain.

Jupiter Questions

Will a coated garage floor hold up under a boat trailer?

Yes, once the coating is fully cured. A trailer jack concentrates heavy weight on one small spot, so a plate or puck under the jack protects the surface.

What about salt water dripping off my gear?

A sealed coating keeps salt out of the concrete, which is the main goal. Rinse the floor now and then so salt does not dry into a gritty film.

Are coatings safe near a lab or research space?

Many resin systems are used in lab support areas. We check what chemicals the space handles and pick a system rated for them.

Will afternoon rain ruin a fresh coat?

Rain on the slab during cure can cause problems, so we start early, keep the garage door mostly closed and watch the radar.
