Garage Floor Epoxy - For a Durable and Beautiful Garage Floor

Garage floor epoxy will give you a beautiful, yet durable garage floor. Make no mistake... an epoxy based floor finish is going to cost you more than a regular painted finish. However, as long as you keep it clean, your epoxy garage floor will look as good as any showroom floor.

In addition you’ll also have a garage floor that resists paint stains, automotive fluid stains, hot tire marks, and general wearing.

Typically, you can choose from a gray or tan semi-gloss finish, although some manufacturers offer many different colors and levels of gloss.

Most garage floor epoxy is a 2-part mix that is sold as a kit. The first part is the ACTIVATOR, and the second part is the BASE. All you have to do is mix them according to the manufacturer’s instruction, and it's ready to go.

Before you apply it, you MUST clean your garage floor. This step is absolutely critical for the epoxy polymers to achieve maximum adhesion to your garage floor. Give it a good sweeping followed by a thorough washing with your garden hose.

You should also use a concentrated concrete cleaner with a pressure washer. If you don’t have a pressure washer, you can use the tightest spray pattern of your garden hose nozzle.

Then, for the best possible results, you should acid-etch your concrete garage floor which gives the epoxy the best possible surface to bond with.

Finally, you're ready to roll on the epoxy mix itself, and before you know it, you'll have a great looking garage floor that's super easy to clean up.

You can get garage floor epoxy kits in the paint department of your local home improvement center. Make sure to completely READ the manufacturer’s instructions!
