"Fall" Into Some Garage Floor Logic

The PW Asks: Tell us about garage floor coatings.


The Painter Says: In order to coat a garage floor there needs to be an air temperature of at least 55 degrees. There are a variety of ways to handle a garage floor, from simple to complex.
1.       A simple clear coat on a garage floor creates a dust barrier and the concrete is not “dry” looking.
2.       A 2-part epoxy is another option which can add color. Next, taking it a step further is a 2-part epoxy plus clear urethane layers with colored chips added. The surface can be smooth with chips suspended in the urethane for a sleek look. Or the chips can actually protrude from the urethane for a skid proof surface. An epoxy garage floor can serve many different purposes and will last the longest if the floor is professionally prepared and coated.
Early fall is an ideal time to coat a garage floor.
