How to Protect Your Garage Floors This Coming Winter

Throughout the year, your garage floors constantly have to contend with automotive fluid leaks, mud, dirt, dust and rainwater. Those that live in a snowy northern climate will have to deal with ice, snow, salt and de-icing products as well. Even for the most durable flooring material, that’s still a heavy workload! Naturally, you want to protect your floors from the worst of this. If you want to winterize your garage floors so they remain in great shape year-round, here’s how to do it:

Garage Floor Coatings

If you want to give your garage the best protection possible, then a polyaspartic floor coating is definitely the way to go. In addition to the aesthetic benefits, polyaspartic coatings have been designed to withstand even the most brutal conditions. They’re also resistant to wear caused by temperature changes.

Winter Snow Mats

If you’re looking for a cheaper, less permanent option, then consider purchasing winter snow mats. They come in a variety of sizes and are typically made from durable rubber or vinyl. They can hold gallons of water and handle melted snow, ice and road salt.

Interlocking Garage Floor Tiles

Another great, cost-effective option is interlocking PVC or rubber floor tiles. These can be installed quickly, come in a wide variety of designs and are very easy to replace if a tile gets damaged. If this is the direction you want to go, be sure that you get self-draining floor tiles that channel water from melted snow and ice to the concrete underneath.
