Did you know that the first commercial attempts to prepare resins from epichlorohydrin were made in 1927? Since then epoxy resins have become a mainstream item and aren’t limited to just flooring.

Epoxy resin has made a splash as an art and DIY component, with furniture and portraits taking the spotlight. But epoxy truly shines when used as flooring.

So, keep reading for five reasons you should consider installing garage floor epoxy coatings.

1. Durable and Resistant

The main reason to consider epoxy garage floors is their extreme durability. Epoxy floor coatings are resistant against:

  • Bleach
  • Gasoline
  • Motor oil
  • Gear oil
  • Many solvents

Even if these materials sit on the coating for an extended period of time it is highly likely that you’ll be able to clean the stain without any damage to your floors. This is incredibly useful if you’re storing vehicles or working on a project in your garage.

Garage maintenance is also a piece of cake since epoxy is resistant to abrasion. Gone are the days when garage equipment such as toolboxes, jacks, and loose tools cause scratches and damage to your garage flooring.

Epoxy garage floors are also high impact resistant, so if you’re using your garage as a home gym you don’t have to worry about free weights chipping your epoxy coating.

2. Versatile Appearance

The look of the epoxy coating is determined by the style and color of the broadcast flake chosen. This means there are endless options when it comes to the appearance of your floors, so you don’t have to worry that your floors won’t match the aesthetic of your home. You can go take a look at garageharmony.com to find out which colors and flecked designs are best for you.

3. No Slipping

While broadcast flakes are used to determine the appearance of epoxy, their main purpose is to increase the slip resistance of epoxy floor coatings. The size of the flakes used has an impact on how slip resistant the floors will be. A medium-sized flake is ideal if you’re looking for high slip resistance since flakes that are too large or too small both underperform in this aspect.

4. Installed Quickly

Garage floor epoxy installation can be completed in a matter of days if the underlying concrete is properly prepared. It is important to have the concrete prepped by a professional to ensure the installation of the epoxy goes down without a hitch.

5. Low Maintenance

Epoxy garage floors are extremely low maintenance as there is very little upkeep needed if the coating was installed properly. You simply need to keep your floors clean as you would any other part of your home.

Choose Garage Floor Epoxy

Garage floor epoxy coatings are extremely durable and versatile which makes them the perfect solution for almost all garage flooring. So make the sensible choice and invest in floors that will last.
