One of the most resilient and dependable finishes that can be applied to your garage floors is epoxy. Now the great thing about epoxy flooring for your garage is that there are so many options available to you. You can go the DIY route, and buy one of them garage epoxy kits….Cough...Cough... (We much rather you go with a professional epoxy flooring contractor like us...will explain later.) Those kits available from the big orange box home improvement stores are relatively cheap, and easy to apply. It makes a great weekend project for any homeowner. The only downside to those box kits, is that you tend to have limited color options, and they are not professional grade epoxy resins that are available to professional epoxy contractors. They tend to peel and crack much sooner, than commercial epoxy coatings, and there is little no customization available to you. But if your goal is to simply find the easiest and cheapest garage epoxy solution for your home or business, we'll provide a link for you here.. Now maybe you're the type of person who is not solely focused on the cheapest solution for your garage floors. Maybe quality, longevity, and a unique floor finish is what your after.

There’s just so many creative options available when it comes to epoxy garage floors. There are metallic finishes, flake floors, even super hi-gloss sheen finishes. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Many you may ask what the heck is epoxy anyway?

Scientifically speaking epoxy is the result of the combination of two different compounds. Those compounds are typically a resin and hardener. The mixing of those ingredients forms a thermosetting resin...which is a fancy way of saying when the substances are mixed and cured there is no turning back. The liquids bond and form a plastic like finish that will remain like that FOREVER...Ok not really forever but a really, really, really long time.
