Epoxy Garage Floors

After years of being parked on and used for all manner of purposes, garage floors will show wear and tear. Installing a new garage floor is usually impractical and cost-prohibitive, but epoxy garage floors return garages to like-new splendor without ripping up all the concrete. If your home’s garage has seen better days, consider giving it a makeover with an epoxy garage floor. They’re affordable and have several benefits.


















The Benefits of Epoxy Garage Floors

Garage floors can have three different finishes: plain concrete, paint or epoxy. If you want to protect your garage’s floor, you’ll want to either paint it or cover it with an epoxy coating. Paint is the less expensive of the two options (although epoxy garage floors are affordable), but epoxy provides more protection and lasts longer. As many realtors and expert conclude, applying an epoxy finish is a better investment than simply painting your garage floor.

Epoxy garage floors will:

• bead up moisture
• wipe clean like a kitchen counter
• resist oil stains

Possible Designs of Epoxy Garage Floors

Unlike plain concrete garage floor, epoxy flooring finishes don’t have to look mundane, worn and gray. They’re available in many different colors and patterns. No matter what your house’s colors are, you can probably find an epoxy finish that matches it.

Incorporating colors and patterns into an epoxy coating isn’t merely cosmetic. When done well, an epoxy coating can mask minor imperfections in the underlying concrete slab. The finish will disguise your garage floor’s faults, and make sure water and oil don’t seep down into any cracks.

Textured Epoxy Floors

Even though Phoenix doesn’t see much rain, some residents are concerned that epoxy is too slippery when it’s wet. Modern epoxy garage floors, however, have antiskid additives that provide grip. With an additive included, you’ll not have any problem walking on your garage floor -- even when it does rain, and the floor becomes wet.

If you’re tired of a drab garage floor that shows years of wear and tear, invest in an epoxy garage floor. You’ll be amazed at how sleek it looks and how well it holds up. It’s not a huge investment, and you’ll have a like-new garage floor for years to come.
