For those considering new garage flooring, epoxy can be an attractive option. While it’s easy to get caught up with its benefits, there are some drawbacks you should consider before deciding on this type of floor coating. Read on as Guardian Garage Floors explains why you should think twice about installing epoxy floors and shares better alternatives.

WHAT ARE THE DRAWBACKS OF AN EPOXY FLOOR?

Epoxy floors need to be continually resealed to maintain their protection from water and dirt. Otherwise, your garage floors will quickly become stained and peel away. This could lead to more extensive repair bills due to moisture seeping through the underlying substrate. If not resealed regularly, floors with epoxy coating may become prone to cracking or bubbling over time, making them unsuitable for extreme temperatures or heavy-use areas.

ALTERNATIVES TO EPOXY FLOOR COATING

Fortunately, there are other alternatives to epoxy that are far more durable and low-maintenance, including polyaspartic floor coatings. Polyaspartic coatings are a UV-stable polymer that requires much less maintenance than epoxy. It’s highly resistant to scratches, fading, cracking, and peeling as well. In addition, the solvent-free formula dries very quickly. It can be applied to garage floors, in under one day with relatively few coats.
