When Deciding on a Garage Floor Coating, What Should I Look For?

When deciding on what kind of garage flooring product to work with, it’s important to focus on not just the quality of the product, but the convenience of use and estimated coverage area. Nothing is more frustrating than shelling out the money to start your project, only to find that there are several “extras” you will need to track down before you begin, or finding out mid-application that you’re going to run short on supplies before you reach the finish line.

Here at Car Guys Flooring, we’ve taken all the effort out of the purchase process by focusing on the four key elements that will allow you to enjoy a simple and successful installation: Chemical composition and quality, Completeness, Color options, and Coverage. With these four C’s covered, you’ll be well on your way to a flawless garage floor that will last for years to come.

Chemical composition and quality: Here at Car Guys Flooring, our epoxy coating consists of two components that when mixed together create a 100 percent solids floor finish. This makes it stronger, denser, and more durable than other products on the market, and ensures that it will stand up to regular wear and tear while maintaining a professional grade finish.

Completeness: Our garage floor paint kits contain everything necessary to complete your flooring project: a bucket (or buckets) of 100 percent solids epoxy flooring, flooring prep, anti-slip fleck, a roller frame, 2 roller covers, a paddle mixer, goggles, gloves, and an easy-to-follow instruction manual. With one of our kits there will be no need for a last minute run to the hardware store, saving you time and money as you install.

Color options: With ten base colors across the spectrum to choose from, along with twelve different anti-slip fleck options, our kits offer homeowners a wide variety of decorative choices able to suit any aesthetic. By using our online interactive floor designer before purchase, buyers can experiment with various color combinations and fleck distribution levels until they achieve the look that will best suit their individual needs.

Coverage: With our complete epoxy flooring kits we have measured out our coatings in generous portions, so there will be no need to stretch the product in order to paint the entire coverage area. By simply measuring your space and purchasing the product that matches your dimensions you are guaranteed to have enough products to get the job done.

We’re just a couple of Motor City guys who are passionate about cars. We crave the rumble of a cammed out 5.0 Mustang. We dream about the smooth lines of a Ferrari 250 GTO. Heck, if Ethanol was a cologne, we’d probably wear it. That’s why we got exhausted of seeing sub-par garage floor systems on the market.

Jul 20, 2011 by Car Guys Flooring

When considering whether epoxy flooring is right for your home improvement plan, you may not be looking at the big picture when comparing its cost to that of its competitors.
