In more recent history, garages are being utilized for more and more activities besides a home for your vehicles. From the kids learning how to ride a bike or fix a car to weekends filled with basketball and grilling out, the garage is the central gathering place for the entire family. At the heart of family activities, your garage floor takes quite a bit of abuse. Remember that oil leak you’ve been meaning to clean for years? Or the paint spilled from the kids’ arts and crafts project last weekend? And what about that dent in the floor from the toolbox your teenager dropped last summer?
As one of the most popular, high-performance materials for garage floors, the benefits of epoxy garage floor coatings are unbeatable. Here’s what you should know about what makes epoxy floor coating so great and why it may be the right choice for you.
While concrete is known for being incredibly strong, it certainly has a breaking point. Over time, the constant changes in temperatures and daily wear and tear of a well-used garage will leave your floors looking stained, cracked, chipped, or even worse, and take away from the overall appeal of your shared space.
The thicker coating of epoxy does a great job of covering over minor imperfections such as small spider cracks and flaws in the concrete. Because epoxy is a topical sealer, it is also anti-dusting. Much of the dust in a garage is created from the powder that a cement floor can shed. Normal traffic on bare concrete can kick up this dusty powder that has a tendency of collecting on cars, tool benches, and storage items, as well as being tracked into the house.
Your garage is the one area of your home that serves a multitude of functions while sustaining the harshest of abuse. With a professional garage floor coating system, your floors will be able to withstand long-term, continued exposure to potent chemicals like oils, pesticides, and so much more!
Concrete can become slippery or slick when wet. By installing an epoxy garage floor coating to your space, you can include slip-resistant additives to your coating for added safety. These coatings are also incredibly resistant extreme temperatures and severe impacts which help to protect both your home and family. Added grip provides a safer floor for everyone.
Once you’ve installed a garage floor coating, you’ll no longer have to worry about labor-intensive maintenance or tedious upkeep. Your epoxy coating will make the surface of your garage floors non-porous. This means your garage floor will be sealed and less prone to staining or saturation. Spills are easily cleaned up and routine care is a breeze.
Epoxy garage floor coatings come in a wide range of colors and patterns. These coatings offer nearly limitless customization options to help you create a truly unique look for your space. Whether it be your workshop or the floor to your man cave United Floor Coatings has something for everyone.
