Garage Floor Epoxy Coatings Installed by Professional Contractors
High performance garage floor epoxy coatings have been used for many years in industrial buildings and for many commercial areas with high traffic for fork lifts, storage, commercial kitchens.
In recent times they have been engineered with faster dry and cure times making it possible for an epoxy floor contractor to place them in one day rather than 3-4 days. The all new systems offered have reduced the labor making them inexpensive for small floors like garages and basements.
The decorative choices have increased also.
You may have seen 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 as soon as you drive your car or truck on a recently painted surface. The have not been engineered to withstand hot tires caused by road friction.
Todays premium 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 attractive chip and quartz applications which create the appearance of granite.

Metallic Garage Floor Epoxy Coatings
Among the most sought after garage floor systems are metallic coatings. These sensational appearing systems look like marble. As a result of technological advancements, metallic epoxy floor coatings not only look amazing, but they wear with the same durability and non slip qualities of colored quartz and decorative chips. They withstand hot tires, oil, grease, gasoline and transmission fluids.
Metallic garage floor contractors can install 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 begins with mechanic floor grinding or shot blasting. At that point any damaged areas are patched and cracks are repaired. Afterwards a primer is added. After the primer is cured, the decorative coating is applied. The last coating protects the surface with 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.
