Garage Floor Epoxy Coatings Installed by Professional Contractors
High performance garage floor epoxy coatings have been used for years in industrial buildings and for many commercial areas with high traffic for fork lifts, storage, commercial kitchens.
In recent years they have been engineered with quicker dry and cure times making it possible for an epoxy floor contractor to lay them in one day rather than 3-4 days. The all new systems available have minimized the labor making them inexpensive for small floors like garages and basements.
The decorative choices have increased also.
You may have taken a look at garage floor epoxy kits available at an inexpensive price at your local home improvement store. These Do It Yourself Kits are thin epoxy paints. They are not the same systems used in industrial and commercial areas.
Thin floor paints will easily peel off a concrete floor immediately after you drive your car or truck on a recently painted surface. The have not been engineered to withstand hot tires as a resulted of road friction.
Todays high quality systems are readily available with numerous color and finish options.
Colors include light and dark gray, beige, green, blue, yellow and red. You can also choose elaborate chip and quartz applications which create the appearance of granite. They are smooth, bright, withstand hot tires and oil and gas spills. They can be applied over cove moldings where the floor meets the wall. This prevents dirt buildup along the edges.
Metallic Garage Floor Epoxy Coatings
Amongst the most in demand garage floor systems are metallic coatings. These sensational appearing systems appear like marble. As a result of technological improvements, metallic epoxy floor coatings not only look fantastic, but they wear with the same long life and non slip traits of colored quartz and decorative chips. They withstand hot tires, oil, grease, gasoline and transmission fluids.
Metallic garage floor contractors can set up a system in 1 day and put into service the next.
The application process is the same for a garage as is a high traffic warehouse. The surface prep process starts with mechanic floor grinding or shot blasting. At that point any damaged areas are patched and cracks are fixed. Next a primer is added. After the primer is cured, the decorative coating is applied. The final coating protects the surface utilizing a scratch and slip resistant finish.
After the finish coat is applied, dry time takes a few hours. The metallic floor coating can be used the next day. The outcome is showroom quality.
