Epoxy
When you are looking at covering your garage or basement floors, you have many options available. You can cover your floor with carpeting, foam mats or regular paint. Another option that is available to you is an epoxy coating to help seal in the concrete floor and help prevent moisture from seeping up through to your work space. Cleanup is also typically much easier because you are able to simply wipe up any oil or other fluids that are spilled onto your floor.
There are different types of epoxy that you can use to coat your floor. Depending on the type, your floor may be as thick as the applied wet coat or may have shrunk due to the loss of the liquid that is added in order to help this coating to flow. This is rated in percentage solids, so a 100% solids rating will be as thick when dry as it was when wet, while a 30% solids rating will only be 30 percent as thick.
When and if you decide to use an epoxy to cover your floor, you will want to ensure that your floor is clean as well as dry before you start to apply the coating. You will also want to ensure that you have enough coating to complete the coating at a thickness that will stand up to your needs. Many times this type of floor coating can be applied thick enough in as few as one coat. If you choose to use a regular paint it may take as many as five or more coats to be this thick.
Before you put down the epoxy, you will want to follow the directions to ensure that the proper preparation work has been done in order to help insure proper adhesion to the concrete. This will usually help get the longest possible life out of your investment. Many times the preparation work will consist of thoroughly cleaning of any staining and dust on your floor, following by applying a rough texture to the floor for the covering to attach to.
After you pour the coating and spread it out you will want to give the epoxy time to dry. Many times this will take up to 24 hours in order to completely dry so you should not walk or drive on the fresh epoxy during this time. You are also able to add a flake coating as well as non skid compound to the floor after the coating has been applied for a nicer appearance as well as helping to prevent slipping when the floor is wet.
With the many advantages of coating your garage floors with epoxy such as sealing out moisture, helping to prevent stains as well as ease of cleanup, this is usually a good option. If you decide to go with this type of coating please look into Epoxy Coat, a leader in the field of floor coatings. With a properly applied coating you can have a beautiful floor coating that will last for many years to come.
