Myths About Garage Flooring

Fall is here, and when it comes to home improvement, with the potentially cooler weather, now is the time many people begin to consider the projects on their “to-do” lists. If the garage is at the top of your list, there are a few things you just might want to consider, especially when it comes to your floors. Orlando Garage floor coatings are the best way to keep your garage clean, safe, and attractive. However, there are a few myths you should bust before you get yours coated.

  • Myth #1: First of all, not all garage coatings are the same. Buying a kit at the hardware store and applying it yourself won’t get you the same results as a professional installation.

  • Myth #2: Secondly, epoxy is NOT just a fancy word for paint! Epoxy has special resins and hardeners to actually protect your floor, rather than just making it pretty.

  • Myth #3: If you do have a professional installation performed, your garage epoxy should last much longer than 1-3 years. Your service tech will be able to perform repairs as needed.

  • Myth #4: Finally, a simple pressure washing session isn’t all it takes to prepare your concrete surface for coating. Your garage flooring professional should take the time to strip off the top layer of concrete to help ensure adhesion.
