A trade association for cement manufacturers that shares research and information about cement and concrete.
The Portland Cement Association, or PCA, represents cement manufacturers and shares research, education and technical information about cement and concrete. Its materials cover how concrete is made, how it cures and why it cracks. These topics matter to any owner planning a floor coating, because slab age, mix and curing affect moisture and surface strength. Nashville homeowners with new garages or older slabs can use the association site to learn how concrete works before choosing a coating.
We are an independent garage floor company and are not part of PCA. We use its public information for general background and send you to the official site for details. We apply that background to your own slab by checking moisture, cracks and surface strength before we recommend any system.
