4 Reasons Why Your Garage Floor Needs Epoxy Coat

The majority of people have a bare, uncoated concrete floor in their garages. Perhaps their boring look is the reason why the floor is unimpressive and easily forgettable. Though this type of flooring isn’t easy to maintain, especially when you use it for much more than parking cars, people hardly pay attention to it.

 

Consider Epoxy Floors for Your Garage

If you don’t want to follow the same footsteps, consider Epoxy floors for your garage. They look much better than simple concrete flooring and are easy to maintain. To help you make a better decision, here are some of the reasons why you need epoxy finishes on your garage floor.


Protect the concrete

Epoxy floors protect the concrete from possible damages, such as chemicals, fluids, and salt corrosion. Various fluids in your car, like gas, oil, and brake fluid, leak and drip onto the floor, causing staining and deterioration. In winter months, when you drive your car in, you bring snow and road salt inside. These materials later melt onto the concrete floor and contribute to cracking and pitting.


Health and safety


Concrete is a porous material, which means it can be a breeding ground for bacteria, mold, and mildew. It acts as a sponge and traps the moisture inside, especially during the rainy season. If you live in an area that receives rainfall, it’s best to switch to epoxy floors that are impervious and offer no ideal environment for bacteria to flourish.


Easy maintenance


Epoxy coated floors are easy to maintain than concrete floors. With regular cleaning, you can keep dust, dirt, and grime away and prevent the appearance of micro-scratches. As epoxy flooring is designed to last for years, you can be worry-free about periodic maintenance.


Create an impression


Since the attached garages are a new trend, most houses now have garages as their main or alternative entrance. Everybody wants a clean, bright entrance to their homes, but a concrete garage floor creates a dark and dusty impression. Add epoxy coating to change the appearance and make the entrance pleasant for your guests as well as yourself.

Floors, especially commercial, take a lot of abuse. So, it’s important to properly care for them and regularly maintain them to keep them in good shape. But, resurfacing the damaged and rough concrete floor is not an easy task, can also be quite dangerous. Doing it the right way is actually a lot of work and the job requires you to hire the best concrete resurfacing contractors having a team of professionals who possess the necessary skills and experience to deliver. Here is how the pros do it-  They start by cutting the floor joints to clean them out and expose fresh concrete. The entire surface is ground off with the electric grinder. The concrete dust is not only collected directly off the grinder but swept up for removal and vacuumed out. The joints are filled with flexible epoxy to get a completely smooth surface. The special formula allows the floor to move independently, yet it keeps them bonded together while keeping dirt, dust, and small parts out of the joints. Once the epoxy is dry, the floor is then ground smooth and vacuumed cleaned, once again. A layer of grout coat is spread on top of the concrete to help fill in all of the chips, scratches, and small holes left from years of abuse. For the one last time, the surface is ground smooth, but this time it’s less thorough, A dark charcoal gray stain might be applied to the floor, so it isn’t so bright under lights. Lastly, the floor is burnished to prevent it from any new stains. Mistakes during the resurfacing process can cost big and increase your future investments.
