Garage floor coatings are excellent ways to protect the concrete floor in a garage, a driveway, a concrete patio slab, or even a concrete floor in home. These garage floor coatings can be applied by professionals or the do-it-yourselfer. Today’s paints and epoxy products make it easy to apply the coatings and with few exceptions, they are a cost-efficient way to maintain or increase the value of a home.

Water dripping on concrete constantly will eventually hurt the finish and oil stains are difficult to remove. Garage floor coatings make the surface impervious to all kinds of spills and make sweeping and scrubbing the floor much easier. Since garage floor coatings can be applied so easily, many people are using them to improve the look and longevity of their concrete flooring.

Some people choose a solid color for their garage floor coatings, while others choose to create elaborate designs using stencils or free form painting designs for them. Ideas designing with garage floor coatings are easy to find in bricks and mortar stores and online. Since garage floor coatings are painted onto the surface, they can be easily changed immediately or down the road.

Additives are available that will make the floor less slick when wet and help create additional texture on the concrete floor. The additives can be sand or other small, durable particles. The texture can also be part of the overall design, although adding texture to a floor that will not otherwise get wet may cut down on the durability of the finish as these particles could loosen over time, cracking the surface of the garage floor coatings.

Undertaking a project using garage floor coatings is a fun and creative way to add value to a home or garage and choosing the direction of the project, whether it is a plain Jane coating or an elaborate floor mural will bring much texture and interest to an otherwise drab concrete surface.
