With an uncovered garage floor you may have to deal with unsightly stains as well as moisture seepage through the concrete. These floors can also be very difficult to stand on for long periods of time due to being extremely hard. There are many ways for you to deal with these downfalls, but some of them do not address all these concerns. One that does address them is an epoxy coating of your floor. If you choose to use foam mats you will have a softer floor than almost any other type of covering, however you run the chance of moisture seepage as well as a shifting of these mats that can result in unstable footing. With an epoxy coating you do not have the possibility for this because the coating is permanently bonded to the concrete. Foam mats will not help prevent staining as well as an epoxy coating because of the seams that are a necessity with the foam mats in order to make them more portable. With the epoxy coating being applied as a liquid and allowed to dry, you can have a seamlessly coated floor that will also seal the concrete against moisture invasion. With foam mats you also have the downside of needing to replace them more often because the natural shock absorbency does go away after a period of time.

Foam also absorbs fluids, although at a slow rate. This can become unsightly and require replacement of these mats in a short period of time. With an epoxy coating, however, you are typically able to wipe up any mess and many are designed to last 15 or more years. With an epoxy coating you also have the advantage of adding decorative flakes to help give your floor a decorative look. You are also able to add a non skid coating that should help when weather becomes inclement and causes water to get onto the floor. This can help you to avoid slipping and falling, possibly injuring yourself or others around you as well as damaging any objects you may be carrying. An epoxy coating is not just useful for concrete floors, because you are also able to coat wood with them. All you need to do is ensure a rough enough surface to insure adequate adhesion to the surface you are bonding to.

With wood you are also adding strength because the epoxy has strength properties of its own, as well as helping to seal out any conditions that may cause the wood to lose structural integrity.
