Finishing Your Garage Remodel with the Best Garage Floor Coating
01/06/2012So you've finished cleaning and organizing your garage. After finding just the right place for all your seasonal items, luggage, sporting gear and tools, you may have even turned your new found space into a home office or a place to pursue your hobbies. There's only one thing lacking. Your garage floor is dull, cracked, and stained. If you've attempted to clean your garage floor yourself, you may have experienced a certain amount of disappointment. Concrete stains aren't easily removed, and the cracks are just plain unsightly.
If this sounds like the exact problem you've been dealing with, good news. An epoxy garage floor covering can literally make your garage look like an automobile showroom. It's that dramatic. You know what flooring can do for the look and feel of a room. Remember when you tore out that old carpeting inside your home and installed Spanish tile or wood flooring? The difference it makes is incredible. Not only does new flooring create an entirely different atmosphere for you and your family to enjoy, but it will increase the value of your home as well.
If you've never heard of garage floor epoxy, here are the details:
What is Garage Floor Epoxy?
Garage floor epoxy's allow you to effectively seal a concrete floor, give it a beautiful finish and prevent it from being damaged by weathering or chemicals that would normally cause unsightly stains. Bare concrete is porous, so it soaks up the stains, locking them in. Floor epoxy creates a waterproof barrier that shields the floor from chemicals or spills of any kind.
What About the Current Stains and Cracks?
We prep the floor with a two step process. First we repair and fill in any cracks in the flooring, using our own, fast curing crack repair. We then use a floor machine to smooth and prep the area for the epoxy floor coating and the polyurea finish. The end result is a smooth, seamless, beautiful floor.
Your New Garage Floor
Once your new epoxy garage floor is complete, you'll be amazed at the ease of care and upkeep. The new epoxy/polyurea flooring is stain resistant, even to gasoline, oil, and breake fluid leaks. All you'll need to do is wipe up any spills as soon as you notice them, and your floor will remain looking like new.
Okay, that's the boring part. The fun part of your new garage flooring involves the new possibilities. Now, when you are entertaining guests and don't quite have enough room in the house or yard, you'll be able to set up an extra party area in the garage without embarrassment or concern. In fact, you'll be proud to show off your new area. With everything organized and a new garage floor, you will have effectively turned what once was a depressing cave into an area with limitless possibilities. You may even be able to talk your spouse into purchasing that pool table you've always wanted. Just a thought!
Whatever you decide to use your new space for, from parking the family vehicles to entertaining guests or pursuing your favorite hobby, you'll have a bright, tidy, and stain free area to do it in. That's good news.
