Epoxy Garage Flooring

What is an Epoxy Garage Floor Coating? The epoxy used on most garage floors is a resin that binds to the existing concrete. Garage floor epoxy is specifically designed for areas of high traffic and wear. Epoxy doesn't dry per se; it cures. This curing process is in part what gives the epoxy used for your garage floor superior strength and durability.

Why apply a coating on your garage floor?

Your garage is an area that many people use every single day. This part of your home also receives the highest amount of traffic from your vehicles. Due to heavy usage, an epoxy coating can be especially helpful in extending your concrete garage floor's life while also protecting it from spills and damage. Epoxy garage floor coatings will also add a great artistic touch that helps to combat the boring and drab look of standard gray concrete. 

What to consider for your epoxy garage floor

​You will have a few considerations that must be thought out prior to installing your new garage floor. A qualified contractor should also be able to help you with any questions you may have.

• Function or purpose: What is the specific reason you need an epoxy garage floor? For some, it is purely aesthetic, while for others, it serves a purpose such as protection from oil and damage. Determining your most important need or want might be a critical first step in your new floor.
• Design: The look and feel of your new garage floor will be a factor for you to consider. Even if you need your new epoxy floor to protect against oil spills, you will still want it to be the color and design of your liking.
• Durability:  Your garage floor's intended use and function will be an essential aspect to consider. You will need to look at the different coating options to determine if epoxy is the right choice for you. If your garage floor is used heavily, better options may be available to suit you better.

Why you should choose epoxy for your garage floor

• Strength and Longevity: Epoxy garage floors feature a hardened and thick application that cures after it has been installed. Epoxy floors stand up very well to regular vehicle traffic and will also protect you from damage while performing varying projects in your garage.
