Floor Protection Options For Your Garage

Is your garage flooring currently just bare concrete? Without a decent top seal to protect the surface, the material can naturally expand and contract, depending on the weather and temperature. When this happens, your concrete floor can develop cracks over time. Without proper sealing, more cracks may develop by the time cold weather comes. 

Because of water seeping into the cracks, it will go through repeated thawing and freezing cycles and eventually lead to deeper cracks and foundational deterioration.

Bare Concrete Against The Elements 

As one of the most abused areas of a home, your concrete garage flooring is exposed to many forces. Besides snow and rain, it can be affected by dirt, foot/vehicle traffic, oil spills, chemical spills and just about anything that gets dragged, dropped or scraped across the surface. Without a proper coating, it won’t be long before your concrete floor becomes scratched, cracked and stained from the wear and tear.

Choosing The Right Coating

The best way to prevent cracks and damage to your concrete garage floor is to invest in a proper floor coating. Guardian Garage Floors NC has some of the most popular ones to consider:

• Polyaspartic Floor Coating – Out of all the garage floor coatings available, this is  the best protection you can get. It’s composed of professional-grade materials that penetrate deeper into the concrete, making it virtually impermeable to the natural elements. If you’re considering this type of coating for your garage floor, don’t go for the DIY approach — hire a professional for long-lasting flooring protection. This is because the job requires a trained expert as well as specialized equipment to ensure successful application. 

• Epoxy Floor Coating – This type of coating, while cheaper than polyaspartic, still offers resistance to chemicals, spills, stains and abrasions. It’s not a DIY job though because of the thorough preparation needed for the floor surface, as well as the knowledge in mixing both the epoxy resin and polyamine hardener properly.
