We will now take a look at epoxy garage flooring in a bit more detail, answering some of the questions about what it looks like, how hard it is to install and how long it lasts. Start by vacuuming or sweeping away any bits of debris - this avoids any nasty scratches when mopping. Garage floor epoxy coatings use a chemical reaction that bonds to the concrete and hardens to form a long-lasting and protective finish. The coated floor repels dirt and slush, is waterproof and can be cleaned again in a few easy steps. All you need is a cleaning cloth or a high-pressure cleaner. With a little care, speed and patience you can create a beautiful and possibly colourful garage floor. You should add an anti-slip quartz aggregate to the first coating of epoxy and seal it in with the second coat. This provides a long-lasting anti-slip property. For maximum slip resistance, you can add it to the topcoat too.

Epoxy resin floor cost

As soon as a professional company takes over the coating of the floor, a few hundred euros are added. In the end you will pay about 1’000 Dollars for the complete coating of the floor with a professional. The price also varies depending on the layer applied, the area covered and possible travel costs. When it comes to epoxy flooring, Permagard is the go-to option.

During this time the remaining air will escape from the mixture. This prevents air bubbles from forming in the coating. There is now a better option available, one that provides extra UV stability, abrasion resistance, and durability. The option for many is now Polyurethane Resin. Polyurethane offers an extremely hard-wearing coating and is generally used where large commercial operations are being carried out. This type of flooring is necessary for this type of environment and is designed to last for a very long time.

Garage epoxy floors are a popular and practical choice, both residentially and at a commercial level. For starters, epoxy is resistant to oil, petrol, transmission fluid, cleansers and other chemicals that are often found in garages. It’s also easy to wipe clean and keep dust-free. For heavy use garages and workshops, we recommend an anti-slip additive to provide extra grip. This prevents potential accidents as epoxy floors without anti-slip can become slippery when wet. And as we know, spillages find a way of happening as does bad weather. Depending on your personal taste you can also provide decorative chips or glass beads. Here it depends above all on how the floor is to look afterwards. For some, a garage is simply a place to store lawn mowers, Christmas decorations and tools. But for others, a garage is a living, breathing workshop as valuable as any room in the house. If you’re in the latter camp, then painting your garage floor is a no-brainer. The best garage floor paints are specifically formulated for the garage environment – and there are many reasons why you should consider using it. Once you have followed the previous steps, the coating of the garage floor is complete. Under normal use, the coating will last for approximately 4 years. After that it is advisable to renew the coating. In the meantime, you can easily maintain the epoxy resin floor.
