Why Should You Get Your Garage Floor Coated?
For many individuals, having your garage floor coated with an epoxy finish is a normal part of the finishing touches of a home. If you have never used garage floor coatings or had any experience with them, here is a list of benefits:
Protection
Most people have their garage floors coated so they are protected. Concrete is porous, and is not a substance that holds up well with repeated wear and tear. Because it is porous, oil and other chemical spills can ruin your unsealed garage floor.
At Gorgeous Garages, we use epoxy or polyaspartic polyureas garage floor coating, which not only seal your floor, protecting it from the elements, the coating also dramatically enhances the look and feel of your garage. Your new, protected garage flooring will be completely stain resistant. After a day or two to dry, your floor will stand up to pet urine, alcohol, blood, ink, brake fluid, gasoline spills, and even hydrochloric acid. You should wipe up any spills as soon as possible, but you won't have to worry about them affecting the beauty of your new floor.
With a variety of different colors and looks to choose from, you'll be able to match the color scheme of your home and increase your home value as well. The sturdy coating also allows the floor to be cleaned much more efficiently and easier than with normal concrete.
If you are planning on storing items on the garage floor, a coating will help keep your belongings safe from the moisture that an uncoated cement floor holds in. If you use part of your garage as a laundry room or a play area for young children, a finished and sealed floor makes it so much nicer.
How is the Floor Coated?
When you have your garage floor coated by our professional team of experts, you'll have a finished product you can be proud of. Depending on the type of coating you choose, and the current state of your garage flooring, the process may take up to two days to complete and about a week before you'll be able to park your vehicle inside.
First we will come in and repair any cracks in your concrete. Cracks are filled with our own, quick drying compound and then ground smooth making them flush with the floor. If you have expansion joints seams in your garage floor we also fill them, so you'll have a smooth and seamless floor.
How Long Does the Coating Last?
The key to the longevity of a beautiful and well protected garage floor is the preparation. With proper preparation and regular maintenance your floor will last a lifetime. The only maintenance is to apply a new topcoat of epoxy every couple of years.
