Garage Floor Epoxy Coatings Installed by Professional Contractors
Quality 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.
Recently they have been engineered with faster dry and cure times making it possible for an epoxy floor contractor to lay them in one day instead of 3-4 days. The modern systems offered have reduced the labor making them inexpensive for small floors like garages and basements.
The decorative possibilities 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 rapidly peel off a concrete floor when you drive your car or truck on a recently painted surface. The have not been crafted to withstand hot tires as a resulted of road friction.
Todays high quality systems are easily available with numerous color and finish options.
Colors include light and dark gray, beige, green, blue, yellow and red. You can also choose aesthetic 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
One of the most sought after garage floor systems are metallic coatings. These sensational appearing systems imitate marble. Because of technological advancements, metallic epoxy floor coatings not only look amazing, but they wear with the same strength and non slip qualities of colored quartz and decorative chips. They resist hot tires, oil, grease, gasoline and transmission fluids.
Metallic garage floor contractors can apply 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. Then any damaged areas are patched and cracks are fixed. Next a primer is added. Once the primer is cured, the decorative coating is applied. The final coating protects the surface by using 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 result is showroom quality.
