With today’s larger cars, we often see bigger garages. We will cost out based on a large single garage at 4 metres by 6 metres – a 24m² surface. In addition to their durable qualities, epoxy floors are also moisture-resistant to prevent mold buildup and come in a variety of colors to match your garage’s design. Should I paint or epoxy my garage floor? Some garage floors may be suffering from damp. If the concrete slab does not have a damp proof membrane then we suggest the floor is mechanically prepared as above before the Epoxy DPM is applied as a primer. You can then apply further coats of the epoxy floor coating. This is not recommended as your new epoxy is only as good as the previous coating. Due to this unknown risk factor, you should remove the old epoxy and start again. How do you apply an epoxy garage floor to a new concrete slab? An epoxy garage floor is an ideal solution. It provides an attractive, professional look and lasting protection. Impressive glossy finishes are no longer reserved for commercial businesses. With some basic skills and this no-nonsense guide, you can install an epoxy floor in your garage that delivers that wow factor as well as extending the life of your floor and making it easier to maintain and clean. How to protect your garage floor
A new concrete floor contains lots of moisture. You should allow the floor to dry fully before painting. Wait at least 2 weeks before application. For example, if you use a degreaser to remove grease, you need to ensure that all traces have been removed once the chemicals have done their job. You will need to do this by hosing down the area and allowing to dry. Any traces of the degreaser in the concrete can reduce the bond with the epoxy. You also want to be mindful of spiders and flies and other bugs. You don’t want your fresh coat of epoxy to become a graveyard of creepy crawlies. Try and create seals over any openings with taped plastic sheeting. How long does a garage epoxy floor take to dryThe final coat of sealant is laid using a roller and occasional brush marks may be noticeable when looked at in different lights Now, that the concrete is prepped, we recommend also using a primer to deal with any potential contamination and help achieve an effective bond. The type of primer depends on the state of the concrete - see next section.
Garage floor coverings, offered in floor mats or tiles, are removable protective solutions that shield your existing floor from scuff marks and oil stains. Although garage floor coverings are more convenient and forgiving than coatings, they don’t offer the same level of durability. Old paint finishes should be removed if flaking at all and the surface should be sanded to create a texture (also known as a mechanical key) prior to applying Resincoat Fast Cure Epoxy Garage Floor Paint. When preparing for a floor coat, doing so mechanically (shot-blasting or grinding) is always advisable for best results, but if that is not possible then sanding the area or our Etch and Clean is a good alternative. After the surface has been completely abraded, thoroughly sweep and vacuum the area of any remaining dust or contaminants. For more information on preparation, please see technical data sheet. Attractive – many people covet the look of car showrooms and professional garages, this is achievable with garage floor epoxy Before you can use the epoxy resin, you must mix it according to your needs. To do this, mix the 2 components of the epoxy resin (resin + hardener) in a ratio of 2:1. A stirrer makes it easier for you to mix the two elements. Stirring is particularly important to ensure that the mixture is uniform and has good resistance at the end. For a garage floor, the epoxy drying time depends on several factors such as temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Remember that you need to wait at least 12 hours between coats.
