According to Grand View Research, epoxy floor coatings account for more than 40% of the revenue in the concrete coating industry. This is because epoxy coatings are durable and long-lasting, making them perfect for commercial and residential applications alike. They're most commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings, but their many benefits have led to people using them for their garage floors as well. Here are a few reasons why you should consider an epoxy coating for your garage.

Chemical Resistant

Epoxy floor coatings are very strong, and many people choose to use them in their garages because of their durability. Unlike other coating and materials, epoxy won't break down in the face of motor oil, gasoline, bleach, or other abrasive solvents. No matter how long that oil leak has sat on your garage floor, epoxy coatings ensure you can wipe it away without damage or stains.

For those who enjoy working in their garage on various projects, epoxy coating is perfect for you. There's nothing you can drop or spill that will damage your floors. Even heavy equipment like car jacks won't scratch epoxy, so you can work without having to worry about harming your garage floor.

Slip-Resistant

Another reason epoxy is commonly used for commercial purposes is that it's slip-resistant, which protects companies from slip-and-fall liabilities. Garage floors can become slippery for a number of reasons. Whether it was a spill, or just some rain or snow, you don't have to worry about injuring yourself. This is especially useful for those who are already at high risk for slip-and-fall injuries, such as an elderly family member. Considering many people use or at least walk through their garage every day, epoxy coatings are a great way to increase safety in your home.

Easy to Install

Epoxy coating is very easy to install, you can even do it yourself! All you need is epoxy floor supplies from a distributor, and you can paint it right on top of any existing concrete floors. If you do decide to hire a professional, they can most often complete the project within a day or two. Even then, most of this time is dedicated to waiting for the coating to dry.

These are only a few benefits of applying an epoxy coating to your garage floor. Give Architectural Concrete Supply a call today for your epoxy coating supply needs today!
