Improving a Garage with an Epoxy Floor Coating
For over the past seventy years, garage floors have been built with a concrete foundation. It's hard to imagine what it was like for those individuals who first paved with concrete, having only experienced a gravel or bare ground flooring prior to this. Now, in our advanced technological world, the option exists to improve a concrete floor by applying a sealed and coated epoxy. This type of garage floor can withstand chemical spills and excess heat while maintaining a lustrous sheen. To upgrade the look and durability of any garage, the services of a Portland, OR business like Smith and Company epoxy coatings can make it happen.
Epoxy coatings are the perfect upgrade for any garage that doubles as a entertainment setting. It is also the perfect look for hobbyists who use a garage as a showcase for their collection. Why just have a gray concrete floor when an owner can have a showroom quality appearance. Even if the garage is used everyday to house vehicles that come and go, an epoxy coating can make it look just as impeccable as the rest of the house. This smooth and untarnished coating comes in a variety of different colors which can be easily cleaned and buffed to a radiate shine.
The process of applying a product like Smith garage floor epoxy coatings is no small feet. The company first begins by grinding off any old floor coatings and removing the built up grease and chemical stains. If there are any other existing bumps in the surface, the excess is removed and flattened out. The also make sure to fill any pock marks or large holes which could affect the levelness of the coating. Once all this has dried and the surface is completely clean, a thick coat of industrial strength epoxy primer is applied. At this point, if desired by the customer, decorative color chips are spread across the epoxy to give it a distinct look. The floor is now left to dry overnight.
The following day, two coats of a polyaspartic coating are applied, which make the floor virtually impenetrable. These coatings significantly strengthen the floor while providing a clear shine that enhances the look of the underlying decorative chips. The entire process only takes a little over two day. When all is said and done, the customer will have beautiful garage floor that will withstand the test of time.
