The Advantages of Epoxy Flooring in Your Shop or Garage

The Advantages of Epoxy Flooring in Your Shop or Garage

• A properly-finished floor holds numerous advantages over exposed concrete or other common flooring varieties. Although there are many different finish choices available, the one that gives you the most bang for your buck is epoxy flooring. Here are a few reasons to select an epoxy floor for your garage or shop.

Professional

• When it's installed correctly, an epoxy flooring helps to keeps your workshop looking as well-maintained and professional as possible. It's perfect if you run a home business from your shop or use it for things other than parking your car. For instance, some homeowners choose to convert their garage into a rumpus room, office, art studio or home theater.

Professional

• No matter what you use your garage for, there are many colors of epoxy coating to choose from to customize your room.

Resistant to Water and Stains

• Applying an epoxy coating instantly transforms a regular cement floor into a non-porous surface. This makes it perfect when messes and spills are a constant risk, such as with car maintenance, woodworking and painting. An epoxy coating also repels stains, enabling you to clean up the mess effortlessly.

Damage Resistant

• Besides being nice to look at and simple to clean, epoxy coatings also hold up admirably against even the most brutal treatment and come out unharmed. You won't have to worry about dirt and debris scratching or marring your floor's brilliant surface. Even falling tools and other heavy objects are no match for its durability.

Economical Choice

• Because epoxy is less expensive than most finishes, lasts a long time and stands up to damage, it is perhaps the most cost-effective flooring you can apply to your garage or shop. Its positive attributes also mean that it's feasible for even the busiest homeowner to apply and you won't have commission repairs.

Perfect for Resurfacing

• Because of epoxy's chemical nature, it tends to level itself out. This means that it will obtain a smooth, even finish without any effort on your part. Even a floor that's marred with cracks and stains can be made new again with a coating of epoxy.

Easy Preparation

• Unlike many other finishes, epoxy doesn't require a lot of preparation. All you need to do is clean and dry the floor prior to application. If the floor isn't completely dry, however, the epoxy won't bond properly. It helps to hire a professional company to do this for you.

Easy Cleanup

• Motor oil, grease, paint, wood stain, dirt and grass can leave a cement floor looking unsightly. An epoxy-coated floor, however, makes these messes easy to clean up using a rag and soapy water.

• If you feel like your shop's flooring is starting to look old and worn out, maybe it's time to give it a makeover. Regardless of your reason for altering the floor of your shop or garage, make sure you use epoxy. You'll save a bundle of money, effort and time on all aspects of floor installation and maintenance, plus you'll be able to enjoy it for years to come.
