To Epoxy or Not? Top Reasons to Epoxy Your Garage Floor
When building or refurbishing a garage, choosing to go for epoxy flooring may be one of the best decisions you ever make. The benefits will certainly be apparent for years to come.
Here are the top reasons why laying epoxy flooring in the garage is the right move.
What is an epoxy floor coating?
As the name implies, epoxy floor coating involves covering the floor surface with epoxy resins. Epoxy is composed of two solutions, polymers and hardeners. Combined, they form a strong bond that adheres to their application areas. Epoxy itself has properties that are very desirable for garage floors.
Stylish aesthetic and appearance
Epoxy resin comes in a variety of selections for your perusal. It can be as plain or as fashionable as you want it. Epoxy coatings can also hide imperfections in the garage floor, like cracks and bumps, significantly enhancing the area's appearance.
Relatively low-cost and quick application
Compared to other types of flooring, epoxy coatings don't require much preparation before coating. You don't need to remove old floor tiles and surfaces. As the epoxy bonds to the floor's surface, the danger of having cracks resurface is relatively minimal.
Also, you reduce interruptions to your life or business since the process is relatively quick. Once the coating has dried, you can immediately start using the garage.
Resistance to wear and tear
Epoxy resin is among the most durable materials around. Using it as the coating for the garage, a room that sees a lot of heavy activity is ideal.
Epoxy is resistant to sudden shocks, as it absorbs impacts and protects the floor from suffering damage. Tires, heavy machinery, and impacts won't be a problem - all due to a thick epoxy-coated floor.
Epoxy flooring is also water- and chemical-resistant. Any spills won't damage your epoxy flooring at all.
Easy to maintain
With the resistance of epoxy flooring to chemicals and water, cleaning also becomes a breeze. Feel free to use any cleaning solution available or even powerwash the entire surface if need be. As the epoxy surface is also scratch-resistant, cleaning appliances will not trouble your epoxy garage floor.
Epoxy floors are durable and environmentally friendly
Even with a minimum amount of maintenance, epoxy floors will last owners for a long time. The appearance of these garage floors will last several years before it will ever need retouching. As the coating protects the concrete underneath, you extend your garage floor's lifespan. Epoxy floors save resources and reduce waste due to their longevity and resistance to damage.
Enlist the professionals
Although not as expensive as other types of flooring, epoxy garage coating still involves significant costs. Hiring professionals specializing in painting and epoxy floor coating ensures correct and efficient job completion. Enjoy your epoxy garage floor for years to come!
