Garage Floor Painting and Epoxy FAQs
What Are the Benefits and Problems with Epoxy Floor Coating?
On the plus side, epoxy floor coatings are economical, resist damage and are easy to maintain. Epoxy is also chemical resistant, which is why it is popular for garage floors. Some people see the following as the negatives:
- Epoxy floors do not muffle walking and contact noise.
- The epoxy coating feels cold like a tile floor under foot.
- Epoxy floors do not offer any non-fatiguing benefits.
- Imperfections in the underlying floor may look like ripples once epoxy paint has been applied.
When Should You Not Epoxy a Garage Floor?
Epoxy can have adhesion problems. The epoxy coating doesn't adhere well in very cold temperatures or in humid and high moisture areas like a basement or bathroom. If adhesion is poor the epoxy coating will crack and peel.
How Long Does an Epoxy Garage Floor Last vs. Painted Concrete?
An epoxy floor painted to the correct thickness will last between 10 and 20 years and require minimal maintenance. A painted concrete floor may chip and peel quickly especially in high traffic areas. That can often result in the need for yearly touch ups.
The painters at Tony Ekman Painting LLC. are very conscientious when it comes to being clean and tidy. We keep our work area clean and complete a full clean-up quickly after finishing the project.
