The typical garage
floor made of plain gray concrete absorbs stains and attracts dirt from car
tires and other activities. As property owners use their garages, the flooring
becomes hard to clean. Fortunately, concretegarage floor limitations are easily overcome by applying garage floor epoxy
coatings to its surface.
Transforming new or
existing floor installations is made easy through correction application of concrete floor epoxy. A variety of
designer flooring options are now available for those homeowners that seek to
extend their home's living space into their garage.
Concrete
Floor Epoxy Design Options
Simple design options,
such as plain gray, are available for the individual seeking a subtle approach
to sealing the garage floor. Color-based epoxies can be enhanced with
multicolor flecks that offer an appearance similar to terrazzo or granite. The
newest trend of metallic epoxy floor coatings really adds an upscale design to
any flooring it covers whether garages, showrooms or entryways. Some contractors
also create a grid with concrete epoxies to offer the more formal look of a
tile floor. Diagonal designs remove the boxy appearance in large garage spaces.
Another consideration
for long-lasting floors is impact resistance. Color flakes, various textures
and even plain epoxy design create hard epoxy surfaces ideal for use in
garages, commercial kitchens, warehouses and more - really anywhere that floors
need to stand up to tough working conditions and traffic. Quartz floors are
another option and are created through the use of multicolored aggregates
combined with 100-percent solids epoxy. Quartz provides higher impact
resistance for floors that incur a great deal of use.
Design for the garage floor epoxy coatings might simply match
the color of the house exterior. Another approach might be to use textures and
flecks in the epoxy that will hide imperfections in the floor surface. Sealants
will allow all imperfections to show through, but textured epoxy creates a new
surface.
Close evaluation of the existing floor will enable the owners along
with their concrete epoxy professional to determine the best design approach.
Design variations provide different levels of coverage. To learn more about
