Garage Floor Systems

Garage floors see more abuse than almost any surface in the home. Hot tires, moisture, road salts, chemicals, and abrasion all work against basic coatings—so the system has to match the level of use.

Simple garage floor paints offer quick improvement for light duty, while multi-part epoxy and flake systems deliver maximum adhesion, chemical resistance, and long-term durability. Appearance matters—but preparation and system choice determine how well the floor holds up.

Concrete Paints

Light-duty concrete coating for protection and cleaning.

2-Part Epoxies

Professional, performance garages and shops

A simple solution for light-duty spaces

Concrete floor paints are designed to improve appearance and provide basic protection in low-traffic areas. They offer an easy, one-component option for basements, storage rooms, workshops, or garages with minimal vehicle use.

While not as durable as multi-part epoxy systems, floor paints can perform well when applied to clean, properly prepared concrete and used within their limits.

Key Features

Single-component application for quick, straightforward use
Improves appearance of bare or worn concrete
Light-duty protection for low-traffic areas
Easy recoat and touch-up if wear occurs
Lower upfront cost compared to multi-part systems

How professional floor systems are built

A high-performance garage floor is a system, not a single product. Long-term durability comes from proper surface preparation, a chemically bonded epoxy base coat, and a protective topcoat designed for wear and UV exposure.

The process starts by mechanically preparing the concrete to remove contaminants and open the surface. A two-part epoxy base coat is then applied and broadcast with decorative or traction flakes while wet. Once cured, a urethane or polyaspartic topcoat is applied to lock everything in, add UV stability, and create a cleanable, wear-resistant surface.

System Components

Concrete preparation
Mechanical grinding or profiling to ensure proper adhesion and moisture control
2-part epoxy base coat
Chemically bonds to concrete for strength, impact resistance, and hot-tire durability
Flake broadcast (optional)
Adds texture, slip resistance, visual depth, and hides surface imperfections
Urethane or polyaspartic topcoat
Seals the system, improves abrasion resistance, and provides UV stability

What demanding surfaces need

Patios, walkways, metal furniture, pool surfaces, and textured concrete face conditions standard exterior paint isn’t built for. These surfaces deal with abrasion, standing water, chemicals, heat, and heavy foot traffic—so they require purpose-built coatings designed for extreme use.
