F YOU’ D LIKE to add valuable square footage to your home, consider coating your garage floor with durable and attractive epoxy. Available in endless color and style variations, epoxy floors are stain-resistant, easy to clean, and a pleasure to walk on. The experienced team at Designer Garages can install an epoxy floor in days, transforming the way you use your garage! Here’s how it works: Preparation is Key After performing a moisture test on your concrete, we use a commercial grinder to carefully sand and level your garage floor. Cracks and divots will be filled, and we’ll lightly go over the floor again for smoothness. Because this is a dry process, we use a high-powered vacuum system to collect any dust. Getting Flaky A base coating of colored epoxy is applied using a proprietary formula that wicks deep into the concrete, creating a lasting bond. Then the real magic happens: Colored vinyl flakes are hand-thrown across the floor. These flakes will add slip-proof traction and are available in a variety of colors and sizes, providing endless decorative possibilities.
Sealing the Deal After the layers have cured, your garage floor will receive a chemical and abrasion-resistant clear gloss finish that resists hot tire markings and is non-yellowing. A day later, you can enjoy walking on your new epoxy floor, and in five days, it can be driven upon. Call Designer Garages today to add square footage to your home in less than a
week, making your garage a multi-purpose space for working, playing, and living! And when you’re ready for storage, let us provide a free proposal for custom, affordable cabinets to finish the space.
