Garage Floor Finishes

Garage floor finishes are a great idea to protect the concrete floor because of the amount of traffic and abuse it receives. It does not matter what you do in your garage, whether you repair vehicles, carpentry or just park your car, a good solid durable floor coating will protect the concrete.

  

All you need for a good garage floor finishes are a few tools and gear and a good epoxy and your floor will stand up to just about anything you throw at it. In addition, it will be much easier to clean the floor as well. Here is a list of some of the items you will need for this do-it-yourself project:

 

  • Chisel and trowel
  • Large oscillating fan
  • Paint brushes and rollers
  • Pressure washer
  • Floor buffer
  • Push broom
  • Floor squeegee
  • Watering can and hose

These are most of the items you will need for applying most garage floor finishes. However, it is important to read the directions before you start so you can determine if there is anything else, you need for the job. Other items you will need include the right safety gear because of the chemicals involved with a job like this. Therefore, you will need safety glasses, thick rubber gloves, boots, a dust mask and you should wear long pants and a long sleeved shirt so you do not get any chemicals on your skin.

 

Before you begin to apply any garage floor finishes, make sure that you clear out the garage first, so the entire floor can be completed. The basic rule is if it is not attached to the floor then remove it. Then sweep the entire floor, making sure all the dirt is swept. Patch the concrete then once it is dry wash the floor with muriatic acid. Rinse it thoroughly with water.

 

Wait until the floor is completely dry then you can apply the garage floor finishes. One of the added bonuses is that when the garage is completely cleared out, you can purge many of the items you had in there. Not only are you protecting the garage floor but you are de-cluttering the garage as well.
