Working On Garage Floors

Spring is around the corner and its time to redo your garage flooring. You can clean it out and lay down some quality floor matts or, you can protect it with a concrete floor coating that will last longer than the matts. Maybe convert the garage into a room and restyle the flooring.

Before we talk about the type of seal, its important to do a thorough clean up and repair of the floors if needed. This particular stage is crucial, because if you do a poor job of cleaning, the result can be disastrous. You can possibly spend more money to redo the job.

The seal that we recommend that you use is a mono epoxy coating. Epoxy paint is water proof and no "volatile organic compounds". This is a major health concern if you're not careful. There are 2 types of epoxy paint that you can use.

One is oil based and water based. Oil based usually have little to zero "voc". The cost is affordable compared to the water based epoxy paint. However, water based is becoming more popular than oil due to the health issues. Thus, costs more but not much.

You can buy from hardware/paint stores or factory direct. Factory direct can be more affordable with quality brand. So its something to think about. If you are inexperienced on working on concrete floors, give us a shout we can help.
