The Best Garage Flooring Options

The most basic question that garage owners ask is, "what is the best garage floor coating?" Its answer depends on your usage, i.e., how you use your garage – are you using it for parking your cars? Or you use it for auto repair and maintenance? Or you've remodeled it into your office or kids playing area? Each situation has different flooring needs, so here are the various floor finishes and coatings that will be perfect for your garage.

Garage Flooring Coatings

Garage floor coatings take a lot of stress and abuse, from heavy traffic to spills of all kinds. So you must install durable layers that require less maintenance and requires lesser cleaning efforts. There are various floor coatings with multiple styles and materials to choose from. Here are the few best options you can choose from:

#1. Garage Epoxy Floor Coating

It's the most robust and most popular coating available in the market. Epoxy floor coatings are resistant to moisture, oil, abrasion, UV rays and can withstand heavy foot traffic & heavy impacts. Just keep in mind that install epoxy coatings on a cooler day rather than a hot day.

#2. Concrete Floor Paint

The next option is concrete floor paints, i.e., dyes made from oil and latex. This coating is inexpensive and more potent than ordinary paint. The best thing about concrete paints is that they're available in various colors, allowing you to choose the color that matches your home's aesthetics.

#3. Concrete Sealer

These are tougher and provides better protection than floor paints. The most popular concrete sealers are either latex or urethane.

Urethane is more substantial than latex, but it doesn't stick well to bare concrete. If you're using urethane in your garage, you will probably need to get a primer coat first on the floor.
