Upgrading your garage is an impactful way to make your house more upmarket. It’s also good for resale value. Estimates state that renovating or adding a garage has an ROI of 65%.
Refinishing a garage floor that’s full of oil stains, cracks or chips can instantly give it that showroom aesthetic—but you need to be careful which finish you choose.
There are numerous garage floor finishes on the market, and they are not all created equal.
If you go with the wrong option, in a few years, your garage floor may look worse than ever.
Not sure what garage floor protection options are the best? Keep reading as we outline everything you need to know about garage floor finishes.
Advantages of Good Garage Floor Finishes
Before we get into choosing the right floor protection for your garage, let’s quickly run through the advantages of protecting your garage floor.
Most garage floors are unpolished concrete. This makes them vulnerable to oil stains, cracking, chipping, and general wear and tear. Unfinished concrete floors are also dusty and difficult to clean.
If you have the right floor protection installed, this will:
- Prevent cracks and chips
- Prevent staining
- Reduce dust and dirt
- Cover any existing imperfections
- Upgrade your garage
Installing the right floor protection will add that ultimate wow factor and make your garage floor much more durable and resilient.
Don’t DIY Garage Floor Finishes
The first thing you need to know when it comes to garage floor finishes is DIY installation is not the way to go.
Firstly, the products on the market that DIYers can buy don’t have the durability needed for a high-impact space such as a garage.
Garage finishing products such as epoxies, paints, and interlocking tiles are typically not nearly as hard-wearing as professional finishing systems.
Garage floor paints typically look cheap and chip pretty quickly.
Epoxy resins are slightly more durable than paint. However, they have adhering problems. They also become brittle over time and are highly sensitive to UV rays and fading/discoloration.
Besides this, painting or epoxying your garage floor is a lot of work. It’s not just a matter of prime and paint. The products can also take multiple days to dry and off-gas toxic fumes.
Look For a Warranty
Trying to find good garage floor finishes and installers? Opt for an installation that comes with a guarantee.
Because there are so many low-quality floor protection products on the market, who’s to say the contractor you bring in isn’t just slapping on some low-grade paint or epoxy?
If they are using the highest quality products and systems, your garage floors are going to start chipping, discoloring, or cracking in next to no time.
A warranty gives you peace of mind that your floor will remain immaculate for years to come. And if it does become compromised, you won’t have to foot the bill.
Why Garage Force Is the Ultimate in Floor Protection
As you can see, many of the garage floor finishes on the market today are actually a waste of money. What’s more, they can leave your garage floor looking worse than ever before once chipping, cracking, or lifting sets in.
If you want to install garage floor protection, then you don’t want to opt for concrete stain, interlocking tiles, or any of the other short-term solutions out there.
Instead, you want to go with a highly durable product like Garage Force. Garages are high-impact spaces, and anything less the best in floor protection will be a fail.
Here are some of the reasons why Garage Force is the ultimate floor finish.
Incredibly Durable
First up, Garage Force’s floor protection system offers the ultimate in durability.
Made from polyurea, our floor coatings are both flexible and resilient and up to 20x more durable than epoxy. Besides having a high tensile strength, our coating systems are completely resistant to all common chemicals.
Garage Force’s polyurea flooring systems are also 100% UV stable. This means you can leave your garage doors open without having to worry about the floor coating warping, cracking, or discoloring.
To give you an idea of how tough polyurea products are, they are now being used to create “bomb-proof” coatings on tanks.
There Are a Range of Colors and Styles to Choose From
Another benefit to Garage Force protection systems is you can choose from an array of colors and styles.
These include the Full Chip System (or Decorative Chip), Medici System, Metallic System, Quartz System, and Solid Color System. Each of these ranges sports a variety of colors to select from.
