Even though cement is a durable material, it should still be coated to ensure longevity. This is especially true for garage floors, which experience the wear and tear of housing cars and hosting home improvement projects. Protect your garage floor and consider the following cement coatings and their benefits:  

  • cementPaint: A fresh coat of paint applied to a garage floor can take years off its appearance. Painting your cement floor is a great way to quickly make the space more visually appealing and hide stubborn oil and grease stains. Paint is also cheaper than most other coating options. You likely have certain painting supplies such as rollers and brushes already, and you can cheaply acquire them if you don’t.
  • Epoxy Coating: Epoxy coating is more durable than paint and leaves a lasting finish on concrete. It’s also a more expensive option than paint, especially if you opt for the heavy-duty mixture that doesn’t contain solvents, but it’s the better choice if your garage floor sees heavy traffic.  
  • Polyaspartic Coating: This coating is recommended for homeowners who live in colder climates. Polyaspartic coating is great at preventing cracks in concrete that come from rapid changes in temperature in high-traffic areas. It’s also easy to clean and won’t require special maintenance such as waxing.
