Your garage floor endures more wear and tear than any other surface in your home. From heavy vehicle movement to oil leaks and winter salt erosion, it faces constant challenges. Finding a flooring solution that is durable, visually appealing, weather-resistant, and budget-friendly can be a daunting task—especially since not all flooring options are created equal.
Garage Floor Options
There are several types of garage flooring available, including polished concrete, rubber tiles, stone tiles, vinyl flooring, and epoxy or polymer coatings. Each option has its benefits, but for the ultimate combination of protection, durability, and ease of maintenance, we recommend a high-quality concrete coating system.
Concrete Coating Makes Sense (and Cents!)
Jim Melchert, founder of Garage-Store.com, explains: “Epoxy, polyurea, and polyaspartic coatings are advanced systems that combine polymer resins and curing agents. These materials are mixed just before application and, once cured, form a solid polymer layer. This results in superior adhesion, hardness, UV stability, and chemical resistance. The effectiveness of these coatings depends on the quality of resins, curing agents, and fillers used. To ensure the best results, consult a certified installer and review product specifications to match the coating to your needs.”
Restoring Damaged Concrete
Many homeowners assume that if their garage floor is cracked, stained, or pitted, it must be completely torn out and re-poured. However, this is often unnecessary. A professional contractor, like Garage-Store.com, can restore even the most damaged concrete before applying a coating. Using diamond grinding or shot blasting, we remove imperfections and debris, then fill in cracks and pits to create a smooth surface. Once the coating is applied, your garage floor will look brand new—at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.
Commercial-Grade Flooring Solutions
In addition to residential applications, we also offer commercial-grade flooring solutions for businesses that need heavy-duty, long-lasting coatings. Whether for a home garage or a commercial space, our polymer floor coatings provide unbeatable performance and aesthetic appeal.
