Your garage flooring can serve many different purposes over the years, from parking your car to functioning as a workshop. One way to improve your garage this year is by upgrading the flooring. That’s why, in this article, we explore some of the best garage flooring ideas for you to consider for your home.
Epoxy Garage Flooring
One of the most common places to use epoxy flooring is in the garage due to the numerous benefits it offers, including:
- Durability — Epoxy flooring is highly durable. In fact, it can hold at least 10,000 psi, making it one of the strongest flooring solutions available. Because of this, epoxy flooring can take the wear and tear of general usage and provides a great option for your garage, especially if you use it a lot to park your car or store heavy equipment.
- Scratch Resistant — Epoxy is resistant to scratches. In fact, it protects your floors from scratches, stains, cracks, peels, water, chemicals, and corrosion.
- Attractive Appearance — Epoxy flooring is aesthetically appealing. With its ample design and color options, epoxy allows you to create your own customized look and feel.
- Easy to Clean — Due to its smooth surface, epoxy flooring can be easily cleaned by applying a mop to the floors once a week to get rid of any dirt or dust. However, if cars and heavy equipment are heavily used in your garage, then you may need to scrub your floors every three to four months.
- Simple Installation — Installing epoxy flooring is best done when a professional epoxy contractor installs it. It requires four steps, including cleaning the floor, applying the epoxy coatings, and letting it cure for over a period of three days.
Due to its durability and resistance to damages, epoxy flooring can last a long time. When properly installed and maintained, epoxy flooring for homeowners has a typical lifespan of 10 to 20 years, and in some cases, it can even last up to 30 years.
As you can see, epoxy flooring provides a durable, aesthetically appealing, and long lasting solution for your garage floors. It is a great flooring solution for ensuring that you get the most of your garage for years to come.
We also offer several other types of epoxy flooring for your garage, including metallic epoxy, flake epoxy, acid stain coating, and a quartz coating.
