Lehi winters on new slabs and older concrete
I-15 has five exits inside Lehi, including Lehi Main Street (SR-73) and Timpanogos Highway (SR-92). UDOT pre-treats interstates and state routes like these with salt brine before a storm, then spreads salt during it. Brine off Timpanogos Highway rides home on your tires and drips onto the garage slab. Lehi sits at 4,561 feet. At NOAA's Utah Lake Lehi station, January's normal high is 38 degrees and its normal low is 19. From November through March, normal lows there sit below freezing while each month's normal high stays above it. So meltwater that soaks into a bare slab in the afternoon can freeze inside it that night. A coated garage floor keeps that brine and meltwater on top, where you can rinse it off.
The 2000s added about 8,550 Lehi homes, the most of any decade. About 4 in 10 Lehi homes went up in 2010 or later. New concrete must cure and dry before it takes a coating, so we check a young slab for moisture. Lehi itself is older than its housing, first settled at a place called Dry Creek in the fall of 1850. Lehi Roller Mills dates to 1906, and downtown is the Lehi Main Street Historic District, on the National Register. Fewer than 1 in 10 Lehi homes predate 1980, but those slabs have taken more than 45 winters. Concrete that old often needs crack and spall repair for pre-1980 Lehi homes before any coating goes down. On a worn porch or patio, resurfacing older Lehi concrete repairs the slab and covers it with a bonded overlay.
Commercial floors around Silicon Slopes and Thanksgiving Point
Lehi has moved from a farm economy to a tech economy. The shift started with a microchip plant built by Micron Technology. Lehi's fast growth is due in part to the tech region known as Silicon Slopes. Thanksgiving Park has tech tenants, and Ancestry's headquarters sits in The Corporate Center at Traverse Mountain. For a warehouse or showroom floor, commercial epoxy flooring in Lehi's business parks matches the system to the traffic.
Thanksgiving Point, a nonprofit museum complex and estate garden founded in 1995, draws about 1.45 million visitors a year. Its restaurants and gift shops sit near the Lehi FrontRunner station, which opened in December 2012. Concrete polishing for a Lehi showroom or warehouse suits a dry, sound slab, while epoxy wins where chemicals spill.
