By adding a floor coating to your garage, you can elevate the space, making it more attractive and practical.
Garage floors take a beating, so when it comes time to revitalize it, you’ll have to choose between many floor coating systems. To make sure you’re getting the right one for your needs, there are important things to consider.
Today, we’re going to look at some of those considerations to make your decision as easy as possible. It’s easy to become overwhelmed with your floor coating options, but keep reading and we’ll help clear up any confusion about your garage.
Looks Do Matter
An attractive floor coating transforms how your garage looks and feels, which is important to most homeowners. Whether you use your garage strictly for storage or it’s your in-home workshop, having a nice coating will help you enjoy it more.
Each of our polyurea coating systems has a different aesthetic to fit the tastes of different homeowners. Some people enjoy the flat, grainy look of the Full Chip system, while others prefer the glossy look of the Medici system.
Durability Concerns
When you install a fresh garage floor coating, you always want to make sure it can handle whatever you’re throwing at it. Epoxy, which is among the most popular garage floor coatings due to its affordability, is known for peeling and cracking when the going gets tough.
Polyurea coatings are 20 times stronger than epoxy. You’ll be able to put as much weight on your garage floor as you want without the coating breaking down.
UV Resistance
If you leave your garage door open while you’re working, the whole thing is exposed to UV light from the sun. Over time, these harmful rays will start to break down the pigment in the epoxy coating, leaving you with a faded yellow garage floor.
Eventually, you’re going to have to get a new coating because of the degradation. This isn’t the case with any of our polyurea coatings, which are all UV-resistant.
Moisture Resistance
Every garage is a little bit different. Some don’t let any moisture in, while others can’t keep it out. Only you know the nature of your garage, but what you don’t want is a floor coating that is susceptible to water damage.
When water seeps below the coating, it can do serious damage to your garage floor. It’ll start to rise in certain areas, which will destroy the coating and require major repairs. Install one of our polyurea coatings, however, and you’ll never have to worry about water damage.
Ease of Maintenance
Lastly, every homeowner wants a garage floor that’s easy to maintain. You should be able to easily wipe up spills and clear up dirt and debris with a broom. You shouldn’t ever have to worry about staining or bringing in heavy machinery to maintain a spotless garage.
Each one of our coatings is completely stain-resistant. Floor maintenance is easy, meaning you’ll be able to keep your garage clean at all times.
