Garage Floor Coatings
Floor coatings are raging in popularity for homeowners and commercial spaces. One popular area to install a floor coating is in your garage because they see high foot traffic and frequent debris. Floor-coating services will improve the functionality and durability of your space to help keep your home in good condition.

Different Types Of Coatings
Our team provides the best products for your flooring needs, including multiple options to fit your unique needs. Each floor coating has its unique style that can serve homeowners of all types. Let’s look at the different types of floor coatings that are available from our company.
Epoxy
The most common type of floor coating is epoxy, which is a type of resin that can be combined with hardener. When applied properly, it can adhere to different surfaces to make it more slip-resistant and prevent unnecessary damage. Epoxy comes in a range of colors and designs for every type of home. It can be applied and set in just a few days.
Polyaspartic
Polyaspartic is a more durable floor coating option that is UV resistant and able to withstand heavy vehicle impact, temperature fluctuations, and different items. Polyaspartic is a flexible material, which makes it easy to apply. These coatings are much stronger than epoxy and come in different patterns, colors, and textures. Polyaspartic is best for garages, basements, or industrial floors.
Floor Paint
Another coating type is floor paint, which can help bring color or whimsy to a garage. Paint doesn’t provide the same protection as a cured coating, but it can help make the garage look less dirty or dark. Exterior-type paint will withstand moisture and weather conditions but only for a handful of years.
Increase The Value Of Your Home
Choosing to coat your garage floor will help improve the monetary value of your home. Garage floor coatings that are installed correctly, maintained, and customized to the home’s color pallet will be just as effective as any other home remodel. Floor coatings provide waterproof benefits, scratch resistance, ease of maintenance, cooler interior temperatures, and longer-lasting garages. Keeping your floors protected from drops or normal wear and tear will be a major selling point for future buyers. When you choose to install a garage floor coating, you won’t have to stress about dings, scratches, or scuffs. Floor coatings limit the work you need to do on other remodels around your home because the money you invest in the floor coatings will increase overall home value.

FAQ’s
-
Can I Apply Garage Floor Coatings Myself?
In order to ensure the longevity of a floor coating, it needs to be installed by a professional. Proper floor preparation, application, and curing time are all essential to getting a quality floor coating. Professionals will be able to apply the coating evenly and promise proper adherence. Professionals also have access to higher quality products rather than DIY kits offered on the average consumer market.
-
Do Coatings Make The Floor Slippery?
Some coatings can be slippery when wet, especially epoxy. There are options for mix-ins to add texture to the flooring to improve the traction of the floor. If you are putting a floor coating around a pool or in a highly populated work area, it will be best to use polyaspartic or add some texture mix in.
-
How Long Do Garage Floor Coatings Last?
With proper care and maintenance, floor coatings can last for up to 10 years. The quality of the floor coating will play a role in how long the coating will last before it may start to chip or flake. When you perform proper cleaning and maintenance, you can extend the life of a coating up to 5 years. Typically, polyaspartic coatings last longer than epoxy. Floor paint doesn’t last as long as either of the bonding options.
