What Is Epoxy?
Epoxy is a resin that can be combined with a hardener to adhere to different concrete surfaces. Epoxy can be dyed to almost any color, and flakes or chips can be added to help achieve different designs. This two-part system helps the coating to cure directly to the concrete during the chemical reaction. The resin will change from a liquid to a solid, making a structurally sound flooring for walking, parking, or other hobbies.

Benefits Of Coating Your Garage Floors
Garage floors are known to be cold, dusty, and unforgiving, which is why many people look into floor coatings. For garages that are going to be used as a workshop or workout spaces, having epoxy floors makes them a little softer and easier to stand on. Epoxy will protect the flooring underneath from heavy impacts while giving you a more visually appealing space to look at.
Another benefit of a coated concrete floor is that they are easy to clean. The smooth surface doesn’t hold on to small debris, so it can be easier to sweep or mop the floor. When you clean an epoxy floor, the dirt and debris will be removed easily, bringing back the brilliance of the epoxy. Quick cleaning is essential, especially for those with full-time jobs and other home maintenance tasks on their plate. Anything that can make our lives easier is a worthwhile investment.
What Makes Epoxy A Good Option For Garage Floors?
When a floor is coated in epoxy, it is water resistant and easier to clean. Epoxy will help the concrete underneath avoid cracks that can cause the surface to be uneven. Putting epoxy in a storage area, workshop, or garage with your cars is the most beneficial use of the material.
Since epoxy is water resistant, it can help bead up snow or rain, making slips and falls less likely during the winter and spring. While too much water can damage your epoxy coating, it will protect the subfloor from mold growth, erosion, cracking, and more.

FAQ’s
-
How Long Does It Take For Epoxy Coatings To Cure?
Epoxy will be dry and walkable after 24 hours, however, the full curing process could take multiple days. You should avoid heavy furniture or cars on top of the garage floor for at least 48 hours just to ensure the curing process has begun. Different temperatures and humidity levels can impact curing time. Hot climates may experience a faster curing time because heat speeds up the chemical reaction. Colder climates may experience longer curing times because the liquid is unable to evaporate.

What Surfaces Can Epoxy Be Applied To?
Because of the versatile nature of epoxy, it is used for many projects and on many surfaces. However, its protective properties and benefits are only applicable when fully cured. This means that applying epoxy to certain walkable surfaces may not yield long-lasting results. For protective coatings, epoxy can be applied to concrete, metal, and stone. Other creative projects like electronics, jewelry, or furniture can feature epoxy to hold components together or make them resistant to dust and moisture.
