Enhance Your Garage Floor With An Epoxy Coating
Why settle for a plain concrete garage floor when you can reap the benefits of epoxy coating? A concrete garage floor, which potentially receives the highest amount of foot and vehicle traffic in your home, can really succumb to wear and tear. However, with an epoxy floor will not only make your garage look nicer, but the coating will sure help the floor last longer.
You may have seen do-it-yourself epoxy kits or epoxy paint at the hardware store. Neither of these solutions will give the same results as a professionally installed epoxy coating. Unlike paint that contains a small percentage of epoxy, an epoxy coating contains a resin and a hardener that cures instead of merely drying. The curing process gives epoxy durability and resilience. A floor professionally coated with epoxy won’t scratch, crack or stain. It also doesn’t create dust the way a cement garage floor does, it disguises any existing flaws in your floor and it is easily cleaned.
Epoxy floor coating comes in many different designs. Flakes of color are mixed into industrial epoxy to create a variety of color combinations. Once the coating is applied to your garage floor, it is covered with a sealer to add gloss and to fully protect the surface. The available color combinations are often neutral grays and browns, with flakes in brighter accent colors.
An epoxy garage floor coating is surprisingly affordable. Our team at Epoxy Floors can provide you with a free quote and estimate for your project before any work begins. Additionally, considering that your floor should last 10 to 20 years, an epoxy coating can be a smart home investment used to extend that lifespan.
To ensure that your epoxy floor remains as beautiful as the day it was installed, clean it regularly in accordance with your installer’s directions. Avoid allowing liquids and debris such as rust or vehicle drippings to go unchecked. While epoxy floors are more stain resistant than standard concrete, you still want to ensure you’re taking proper care of the coating.
An epoxy coating can make your garage floor more attractive, easier to clean and more durable than concrete alone. This smart home improvement will help to improve the lifespan of your garage and make floor maintenance a breeze. For more information about epoxy, contact us!
