How long will an Auto Deck coating last?
A. The life of surface membrane is dependant on the amount of wear the coating receives. All auto deck surfaces wear with traffic including concrete. As a general rule, a high use deck at a shopping mall will have a maintenance free life expectancy of about 5 years in the high wear ramps and turn areas and about 7 to ten years in general parking stalls. Low use parking decks such as an apartment complex where traffic in and out ounce a day will have a life expectancy about twice as long. In either case, maintenance of the wear areas will further extend the useful life.
