Hot Tyre Pickup: Why Some Garage Coatings Peel

Why cheap garage coatings lift under tyres in Townsville's heat, and how to avoid it.

If you've seen a garage floor with patches peeling where the car sits, that's hot tyre pickup.

What causes it

Hot tyres soften weak coatings and pull them off. Poor prep makes it worse.

How to avoid it

A properly ground slab and a quality system resist it. See flake garage floors.

Oil and chemicals

A topcoat also resists oil and fuel. See oil resistant coatings.

Not every coating suits every climate, and seeing how epoxy flooring specialists deal with cooler weather is a helpful comparison.
