Durable and Stylish: The Benefits of Concrete Garage Flooring

When it comes to home improvements, the garage is often one of the most overlooked areas. Most people tend to leave the garage floor unfinished, not realizing that this can lead to minor cracks, staining, and increased dust. In fact, most of the dust in the garage comes from the concrete floor.

With more people using their garages for purposes other than just parking their vehicles, it only makes sense to have the floor finished. Having an experienced Polyaspartic garage flooring contractor finish your garage floor not only adds value to your home but also transforms the plain-looking cement floor into a beautiful looking floor, as well as providing a range of benefits.

The Importance of a Finished Garage Floor

Many homeowners underestimate the importance of a finished garage floor. After all, the garage is often used as a storage space for household items or as a place to park cars, and the condition of the floor may seem like a minor detail. However, leaving the garage floor unfinished can lead to a range of problems, from minor cracks and staining to increased dust and even moisture damage.

That's why investing in a professionally applied polyaspartic coating for your garage floor can make all the difference. Not only does it add value to your home, but it also transforms the plain-looking cement floor into a beautiful and durable surface. Here are some of the benefits of a finished garage floor:

Eliminating Imperfections

Polyaspartic coatings are excellent for resolving problems with cracks, stains, and uneven areas. The coating seals cracks and prevents them from spreading. In addition, because the coating is applied to the entire garage floor, it covers up stains. Plus, epoxy is self-leveling, so any uneven areas are no longer a problem.

Resisting Stains and Moisture

Polyaspartic is resistant to stains, including those that are petroleum-based, like oil and gasoline, and even other fluids that might drip from your vehicle. Further, the coating resists moisture, so any water remains on top of the floor, unlike concrete, which can absorb moisture.

Damage Resistance

Polyaspartic has features that resist cracking and chipping. It is able to withstand impacts, within reason, if you accidentally drop tools or knock over a bike.

Brightening the Garage

Depending on the type of polyaspartic colour and finish you choose for your garage, the finished surface can be reflective, which will increase the light levels within the garage.

Easy to Clean and Maintain

Since polyaspartic coatings resist moisture and staining, they remain on top, which makes clean-up simple and easy. All that is required to keep your floor looking beautiful is regular mopping with an approved soap and warm water. Dry floors can also be swept with a broom when you only need to remove debris and dirt tracked into the garage from outside.

Why Professional Applied Polyaspartic Coatings Are Superior to Store-Bought Ones

The polyaspartic coating kits typically found at home improvement stores are of lower quality than those used by a professional garage flooring contractor. Store-bought coatings are mostly water-based. As a result, once applied and dried, they only create a very thin layer of coating that lacks the toughness and resistance of professionally applied coatings.

Professional coatings, on the other hand, involve rather detailed processes, such as correctly preparing the cement floor before applying and applying multiple layers of coatings to ensure the finished floor provides a very durable, stain, and moisture-resistant surface that will last for years.

Conclusion

Concrete garage flooring can benefit from a Polyaspartic coating, providing a range of benefits, including eliminating imperfections, resisting stains and moisture, damage resistance, brightening the garage, and easy cleaning and maintenance. Professional applied Polyaspartic coatings are superior to store-bought ones because they involve detailed processes that ensure the coating is tough and long-lasting.
