Transforming Your Garage Floor With Epoxy Garage Flooring

In keeping your garage looking neat, one of the biggest parts to consider is your garage flooring. If you’re like many of us, your garage has a cement floor, covered in cracks, chips, and oil stains. The cars drip on the floor, eventually cause the floor to crack, and home improvement projects leave stains on the floor after working in the garage on them.

This is pretty normal, but this can really ruin the appearance of your garage. So what are we supposed to do about that floor that just can’t seem to stay clean? We’ll go over the differences between cement floors and epoxy garage flooring.

Cement floors also often seem dusty, even after you’ve just cleaned them; this is because, over time, cement sheds powder, making the floor look bad practically right after you clean it. Epoxy garage floors are resistant to stains and are made to be cleaned easily- just wet them down, and scrub them off quickly, and the stains and paint will be gone again, making the flooring look fresh. If you’re going to invest in new floors, you might as well make sure they’re going to look fresh year after year.

Throughout time, your garage is going to take a beating. You’ll be parking cars in there, you’ll likely drop some tools, and temperature changes in the garage are going to happen. You need garage floors that can stand up to this. Cement floors often crack because of the temperature changes. They also chip from the impact of dropping tools, leaving your garage looking pretty shabby. As seen as the below picture with the raised garage cabinets; doesn't that just stand out.

The epoxy garage floors are made with strong resins to prevent from cracking under pressure, including the temperature changes and the pressure from the cars. They won’t be chipping when you drop heavy things either- the epoxy is a tough material for flooring. While epoxy garage flooring may be a larger initial investment, you’ll notice over time that it stays nicer than the cement floors.

The last consideration you’ll have to make when deciding on new garage flooring is the look you can create for your garage with it. You’d be surprised by the freshness that new floors can bring to the garage, even if other parts aren’t clean. Cement comes with one color choice- gray. The epoxy garage floors have the option to come in solid color or chip finishes and come in a quite a few color choices.

Choosing a new color can brighten up your garage and make things feel new. The neat, smooth look of the epoxy garage flooring can really keep the floors looking new year after year- and if you’re investing in new garage flooring, that’s what you’re looking for.
