Epoxy Floor Coatings - Surpassing Garage Floor Coatings

By LifeTime Epoxy Guest Author: Jorge Ramos



Glancing at the house or office as you drive past, you probably see and overlook your garage. Does it because it does not reflect your style and sophistication? You wish to fix-up your garage to fit your personal style, but wonder how your garage can gain too much attention so much that visitors are often left awestruck seeing its beauty and care. The modern man prides himself on his garage and understands that the appearance and condition of floor are an immediate indication of quality, morale, cleanliness, and the positive image you wish to present to others.


Then, how one should avoid making their garage as a thrown away room? Epoxy Floor coatings are sturdy and long lasting solutions for any surface. Such coatings provide an ultimate protection and decorative versatility to the floor. As in comparison to the bare concrete floors, epoxy concrete floors require nominal maintenance and offer improved resistance to stains, corrosion and cracks.


So why wasting your time scrubbing, cleaning or refinishing your garage when epoxy coating can protect your garage against spilling and chipping of any variety? It is the most economical, aesthetically and pleasing way to enhance the beauty of a plain gray concrete garage floor doing wonders for the appeal of your garage. There's practically no reason that your garage should remain a dingy and unpleasant place. A seamless floor coating like an epoxy minimizes the need to constantly making repairs and clean up the floor. In lieu of a total remodeling, an epoxy coating if applied to your concrete floor spruces up your old ugly looking garage hiding minor imperfections and increases resiliency to stains.


Epoxy coatings do an excellent job, be it for floors or otherwise. There are various types of epoxy coatings, each prepared for a particular type of treatment and application. Yet they all have a few common characteristics -high resistance to chemicals, extremely durable, high bond strength low porosity, and other chemicals like oils or greases can't seep through them so easily. Irrespective of its characteristics, the paint has to be applied in a professional manner to get the surprising results. The better the floor operation, the better you can expect the results. The floor should be devoid of dust, dirt or debris. Unless the floor is absolutely clean, the paint will not deliver the expected results.


Epoxy floor materials have all the characteristics making it favorite for improving the dependability and looks of any garage floor. There are other coatings that give similar effect to your floor but epoxy are easy to install, durable, cost effective, and surpass garage floor epoxy coating on many levels.

Birmingham Garage Flooring: Epoxy Flooring: Every Designer's Dream

By Guest Author: Dwayne Nawrocki

Commonly found in garages and basements, epoxy is a combined chemical that consists of a resin and a hardener which, once dry, produces a tough, long-lasting coating. In addition to being strong, this coating is impenetrable to oil and is slip-resistant, making it an excellent product to use on flooring in a heavy-traffic area. However, the industrial world isn't the only place where epoxy flooring is hailed. Within the design industry, epoxy is recognized as being more than just a way to protect a floor. It's also viewed as an extremely versatile product, capable of transforming a ho-hum area into a show-stopping work of art. So, even if you don't need an industrial strength floor, you might consider getting epoxy flooring for its aesthetic appeal.


Part of the interest designers have in epoxy flooring is that once completely dry, the floor will present a high, glossy shine. Although this gloss is common to any epoxy brand, many companies achieve this look by putting an additional topcoat over the standard epoxy mix. Fortunately, with some companies, that's not necessary. All of their epoxy mixes contain a built-in UV inhibitor -the ingredient necessary to produce long lasting sheen. This gives the buyer a professional shine without the added work.


Another reason that epoxy flooring is on a short list for designers is that it can be easily personalized. The two chemicals that are mixed together to create the epoxy are also referred to as the base coat. And, gray is no longer the only option when choosing a base coat. Now, basecoats are available in any color imaginable. This means that designers can select a color that compliments, contrasts, or highlights the space they're reinventing. The color options are only limited by the company that offers them. You are encouraged to check out the many colors at their disposal. Some sites, you'll also find an Interactive Design Tool. Here, you can view the colors and get assistance in deciding which is the right shade for your project.


The personalization of epoxy flooring does not stop at basecoats. In addition to choosing a floor color, buyers also have the option to enhance their floor's uniqueness with anti-slip flecks. Generally, these anti-slip agents are chips that come in various colors and are sprinkled on top of poured epoxy (prior to it curing). Anti-slip flecks are made of acrylic and provide a decorative touch to an epoxy floor. Available in a rainbow of colors, these flecks, in conjunction with the base coats, give epoxy flooring a burst of color. The Interactive Designer tool on these sites is also a great resource to match up base coats and flooring flecks.


If you're still apprehensive about having an epoxy floor because it sounds like a lot of work to apply, don't worry. Not only do these companies have everything you need to lay an epoxy floor, they also provide it in one neat bundle. Each of their custom-sized epoxy garage floor paint kits comes with all of the tools and materials necessary to apply the floor, and the installation process is only 3 easy steps. This ensures the customer a simple installation that produces showroom results.
