Protective coating and application method

A method of applying a surface coating to a concrete surface with a joint wherein the method comprises the steps of:

• cleaning the concrete surface;
• repairing cracks in the concrete surface, wherein any cracks in the concrete surface are repaired and degreased;
• adjusting a temperature of the concrete surface, wherein the temperature of the concrete surface is adjusted to a temperature ranging between 15 to 22 degrees Celsius;
• conditioning surface coating materials utilized in the method, wherein the surface coating materials utilized in the method are conditioned to a temperature that is equivalent to the temperature of the concrete surface;
• applying a primer layer to the concrete surface including the joint;
• applying a first laminate layer to the concrete surface excluding the joint and a region of the concrete surface surrounding the joint;
• applying a second laminate layer over the first laminate layer;
• applying a first flexible laminate layer over the region of the concrete surface surrounding the joint;
• applying a geotextile fabric layer over the joint and the region of the concrete surface surrounding the joint;
• and
• applying a second flexible laminate layer over the geotextile layer and a portion of the second laminate layer.
