Garage Floor Mats and Concrete Sealers Replaced by Epoxy Coatings
This York area garage has seen many attempts to protect and beautify its concrete floor. Originally, the floor was finished with acrylic sealers. These quickly stained and didn’t really help because acrylic sealers do not work well for garage floors. Next, the homeowner tried the floor mats available online and through mail-order catalogs. This solution was ugly, aggravating, and a waste of money. Finally, after considering our coatings for years, the homeowner purchased our decorative chip, garage floor coatings.
In addition to coating the concrete floor, our installers also coated the PVC drain cap (not shown in any of the pictures). Epoxy coatings stick very well to PVC as long as the materials are roughed up with sand paper or by our hand grinders.
The decorative chip floor coating in this garage is comprised of:
- Base coat: 100% solids, gray epoxy with full broadcast of chips.
- Top coat: Clear polyaspartic with 46 grit aluminum oxide.
York Area Painter Realizes Value of Professionally Installed Coatings
This homeowner is also part of a family of professional painters. He had approached us several years prior about our coatings, but decided to try cheaper, "DIY" solutions. He had also considered applying his own epoxy coatings from a kit, but decided to stop throwing more money away.
In addition to this home, our crews have coated over one hundred garage and basement floors in the York area, including York city, York Springs, Seven Valleys, Glen Rock, Shrewsbury and Spring Grove. See more of them on our Facebook page.
