Your new garage floor or other epoxy coating project will last ten years or more if you take proper care of it. In many cases, it lasts much longer, which is one of the many benefits of an epoxy floor coating versus a garage floor paint.

Your garage floor or other projects will be evaluated to determine how thick the epoxy coating will need to be. Factors include the look you want for your epoxy garage and the condition of the concrete floor underneath.

How many square feet you are covering and the type of epoxy coatings you choose will determine the cost of flooring your garage. You can expect to pay anywhere from $5 to $20 per square foot, making epoxy a comparatively affordable option for your garage floor.

Many homeowners are tempted by the idea of buying a floor kit and installing their new garage floor themselves. Apex Epoxy Sarasota recommends letting professionals handle the job, however. It is crucial to have concrete floors properly prepped before starting in order to achieve the results you want. Save yourself the stress associated with doing your own floor kit, and contact our team.

For the most part, simply sweeping and mopping your floor coatings will be enough to keep them looking great. If that is not enough, you can contact our team to handle resurfacing of any areas of the floor coating that needs it.

A high gloss floor coating may seem like it will be slippery, but that is not the case. This means you can confidently use this material for your garage floor or in other areas of your home or business that see a lot of foot traffic. An epoxy garage will be safe for people and vehicles alike.

Floor paint will not be as durable as a floor coating of epoxy. It also will not be as stain-resistant, further reducing the practicality of garage floor paint. Unlike floor paint, epoxy can also be customized to give you different finishes. Additionally, floor paint simply dries while epoxy floors cure.

There are several options to choose from for your garage floor epoxy. Popular options include self-leveling formulas, vapor-barrier formulations, and terrazzo-look applications for garage floors. A mortar floor coating is useful in situations where there are cracks and other damage to the existing floor. At the same time, an anti-static formulation for the floor coating is popular for any room that will hold electronic equipment. Our team will help you determine the best type of epoxy coating for your needs.

Ultimately, the number of coatings of garage floor epoxy needed will determine how long the project will take. Of course, the number of epoxy coatings will be decided by the type of epoxy, the desired look of your finished project, and the condition of the floor to begin with. While epoxy may take longer when flooring your garage, it will last much longer than garage floor paint.

Most homeowners will be able to care for their new garage floor on their own. Regular sweeping and mopping are typically all that is needed to have the best garage floor possible. Every three to four months, a more vigorous scrubbing may be required in any high-traffic areas of garage floors.
