If you are having trouble keeping your garage floor clean or protected, garage floor epoxy can do wonders to transform or restore your garage. By using an epoxy garage floor coating you can eliminate hours of scrubbing away grease, oil, and dirt. The coating can be purchased at many different home improvement stores as well as online in different styles and colors. Applying the coating is simple and can be done in a few hours.
There are many different benefits to epoxy garage floors. They last a long time without getting scratches and flaking off the original concrete floor. They are very easy to clean with only water and occasionally soap. Many garages end up with oil and grease on the floor from car repairs that is very difficult to clean. With epoxy garage floor coatings however, a soft bristled broom and water will remove it in a small amount of time without scrubbing.
Epoxy garage flooring can be purchased at any home improvement store and at many online websites. The epoxy comes in large paint buckets (five gallon) that can be purchased in different colors. Enough to cover 300 square feet can cost you around $250 and enough to cover 2500 square feet can cost you up to $1700. The grade of the epoxy whether it be commercial, industrial, or regular strength can also affect the price. Some online retailers like carguygarage.com offers epoxy paint chips that can make your garage floor shine with sparkly colors to make your floor look like a show room. If you have a special car you love to show off this may be the perfect option to making your “showroom” unique.
Epoxy garage floor coverings are easy to put in yourself in only a few short hours. If you have a bleach cleaner, a stiff bristled brush, a garden hose, paint rollers, soft clothed paint roller covers, and the epoxy floor coverings then you can put it in yourself. First, clean the entire garage floor really well with the bleach cleaner. Let it dry completely before applying the epoxy flooring. Then using the paintbrushes roll on a thin layer of the floor covering. A standard garage (two car) will take under two hours to complete. After you have rolled on the first coat wait 12 hours until it has had a chance to dry and apply a second coat. Wait a week until you park cars on it, but then you will have a brand new garage floor that is ready for you to use.
