Are You Guilty of Garage Floor Abuse?

_MG_2304adjlr.jpgDid you know that you could be abusing your cement garage floor in Orlando? If you are guilty of any of the following, you may be unknowingly ruining it.

What Is Considered Garage Floor Abuse?

  • Parking your car in your garage after accumulating, stones, sand, grit, and other hard debris in your tire treads. Constantly backing in and out of your garage with gritty tires can be abrasive to your cement floor causing wearing away of your concrete floor. You‘ll start to see the underlying pebbles from the cement and your floor will become more porous.
  • Trying to clean your dirty cement garage floor with a pressure washer.  Every time you do this, your floor will just become dirtier and harder to clean.
  • Using a cheap DIY epoxy floor coating kit. This type of product doesn’t allow for the proper preparation of your floor before application. Consequently, it won’t last because it doesn’t have enough adhesive properties to bond to your cement floor. It will start to lift and peel especially when you drive hot tires over it. You‘ll not only have to contend with redoing the floor but also cleaning the epoxy coating off of your tires.
  • Having your cement garage floor stamped. Concrete stamping leaves a textured pattern or design on the floor which can’t withstand your car driving over it. The sealant doesn’t protect your stamped concrete from staining or damage.
  • Installing PVC floor tiles or mats.  Moisture and debris can accumulate under the tiles or mats causing mold, bad odors, and decay. Most homeowners end up removing them and their garage cement floor looks worse than ever.
